Salmon Run Next Wave

For this mode's first iteration in Splatoon 2, see Salmon Run.

Salmon Run Next Wave is a co-op multiplayer mode in Splatoon 3 for up to four players. It is the sequel to Salmon Run in Splatoon 2 and was revealed on 9 February 2022 during a Nintendo Direct.

Description

Like in Splatoon 2, each Salmon Run shift consists of three waves; to complete each wave, players must collect Golden Eggs by defeating Boss Salmonids and depositing them at the egg basket to reach a given quota. Unless otherwise noted, each Boss Salmonid yields three Golden Eggs when splatted. If they are not picked up, a Snatcher will fly over after a few seconds to retrieve them.

Each player can carry only one Golden Egg at a time. While carrying a Golden Egg, players can press to perform an Egg Throw, launching the Golden Egg in an arc similar to thrown bombs. This requires the same amount of ink as a Splat Bomb to perform, but not as much ink is actually used and there is no ink-recovery lag. Performing the Egg Throw also causes a small explosion of ink around the player that deals 100 damage to Salmonids and inks a small area around the player.

If the egg is thrown directly into the egg basket, it is collected: otherwise, it remains on the ground where it lands and does not roll. Throwing a Golden Egg into the water results in it bouncing back to where it was thrown from; if it hits a wall or a Salmonid, it is deflected and changes its trajectory. Any player may pick up a Golden Egg as normal after it has been thrown.

The quota for each of the three waves depends on the number of players present and their ranks. If the quota is not filled before the wave timer ends or the team is wiped out, their shift is terminated. After a shift ends, players are rewarded Grizzco Points based on the amount of Power Eggs and Golden Eggs collected, which can be exchanged for bonuses. All players' ranks increase by 20 points after clearing a shift, unless they are playing with a friend with a lower job title than themselves (note that Profreshionals can gain points with Eggsecutive VPs since version 1.1.1). Similarly, failing a shift reduces all participants' ranks by between 0 and 20 points based on the number of waves cleared (-20 points on the first wave, -10 on the second, and 0 on the third; the deduction is halved if fewer than 4 players or a teammate significantly underperformed). Thus, failing a shift on wave 3 does not change participants' ranks.

The hazard level of a shift determines both the difficulty of the shift, such as how many bosses spawn in a time period, and determines the odds of getting silver or gold scales from an Xtrawave encounter. The hazard level is determined by a formula using the combined rank of all players in the shift. The hazard level for a completed shift can be checked by opening the Recent Jobs list from the menu in Grizzco or via SplatNet 3, which can be used to estimate what the hazard level of the next shift will be. The maximum hazard level possible is 333% which can only occur for a team whose ranks are all Eggsecutive VP with an average of 865 rank points.

Equipment for collecting eggs is provided by Grizzco, including a Grizzco uniform and a lifesaver, as well as a different supplied main weapon for each wave and two uses of a single special weapon for each shift. When players are splatted, their lifesaver appears at their last position and a teammate can revive them by inking them. Ink level and special weapon uses are displayed visually, with the lifesaver serving as an ink tank with markings, and the player's two specials appearing as packets on their headgear. Additionally, a notification saying "One player left!" now appears when three coworkers have been splatted.

Known Occurrences return from Splatoon 2, with new ones being added, such as Mudmouth Eruptions and Giant Tornado. Additionally, an event called Big Run, where Salmonids invade inhabited cities, will happen once every few months and take place on multiplayer stages such as Wahoo World. Finally, there are occasional Eggstra Work shifts, being 5 waves long on a fixed job scenario, with the aim being to score as many golden eggs as possible.

Xtrawave

Main article: Xtrawave

Occasionally after a successful third wave, an Xtrawave occurs, with a large King Salmonid and multiple other Boss Salmonids appearing. The primary objective is not to deposit eggs but to defeat the King Salmonid. During this wave, players are supplied with egg cannons; these convert Golden Eggs into powerful projectiles that deal 800 damage each, do not consume ink, but break on contact (even if they hit the ground). The egg cannon can be used to one-shot all Lesser Salmonids and most regular Boss Salmonids by aiming at their weak spot, and they are largely used to damage the King Salmonid. If the player is holding an egg, a special weapon-esque notification encourages them to attack the King Salmonid with it. The players have 100 seconds to defeat the King Salmonid, and the wave ends prematurely if the whole squad is wiped out. If the players fail to defeat the King Salmonid, the overall shift is still considered cleared.

If an Xtrawave is due to occur, the victory jingle after wave 3 will be slightly distorted, and the final triumphant horn will be immediately followed by a siren and a large, orange notification saying "EMERGENCY!". This is then followed by a short cut-scene of the King Salmonid emerging from the water and roaring. The crew members then Super Jump back to the start point, or a unique lowered start point if the third wave was low tide, and the text "XTRAWAVE" will appear as they land. The Xtrawave also takes place with a unique red-ish sky, rather than the normal orange sky or the night environment used for most Known Occurrences, and will use the same tide level as the previous wave (i.e. if wave 3 took place at high tide, the Xtrawave will too).

An Xtrawave is guaranteed to occur when the Salmometer, a King Salmonid-shaped meter appearing below the player's rank bar while they're in the Grizzco Lobby, is full for every player in the group. Otherwise, the chance of an Xtrawave occurring scales based on the total value. The meter fills after every shift, whether successful or not, and empties for everyone in the party when the special wave occurs. The Salmometer also resets between different rotations. Until wave 3 is complete, there is no way of knowing whether or not a shift will result in an Xtrawave, unless one is aware of the Salmometer levels of their teammates.

Fish scales

Damaging the King Salmonid during an Xtrawave rewards the player with fish scales, a precious resource that has three types, the rarer varieties of which are associated with higher hazard levels. Fish scales can be exchanged for Splashtag banners, locker room items, and a Grizzco-approved alternate work outfit of a different color.

The Xtrawave grants the player 2-13 scales: two for entering the Xtrawave, one for every 12.5% damage the team dealt to the King Salmonid (a maximum of eight for a victory), and one for every ten seconds remaining on the clock when the King Salmonid is defeated (a maximum three for more than thirty seconds left).

Getting silver and gold scales is random, with the chance getting better the higher the player's hazard level is. At max hazard level (333%), there is a 20% chance per scale to be silver, and a 3% chance per scale to be gold.

List of approximate rare fish scale odds

Hazard level	Silver fish scale	Gold fish scale	Team average rank for that hazard level
20%	5.9009%	0.1802%	Part-timer 0/99
130%	10.8559%	1.1712%	Profreshional +2 50/99
200%	14.009%	1.8018%	Eggsecutive VP 200
333% (max.)	20%	3%	Eggsecutive VP 865

Big Run

Main article: Big Run

Big Runs are a special event where Salmonids invade the city, causing a multiplayer stage to become a temporary Salmon Run stage. The players can then fight against the invading Salmonids and collect their golden eggs on the reworked stage. Big Runs share similarities to Splatfests, as they are announced one week in advance, last for 48 hours and feature final results with rewards for participating players.

Eggstra Work

Main article: Eggstra Work

Eggstra Work is a special event involving shifts lasting 5 waves, on a fixed job scenario, with the aim being to score as many golden eggs as possible. Similarly to Big Runs, players are awarded prizes after the end of the Eggstra Work based on their performance relative to the playerbase at large.

Rotations

Unlike in Splatoon 2, Grizzco Industries is almost always open for business - this includes during Splatfests. The only exception is during server maintenance, during which all multiplayer services are disabled.

Salmon Run rotations appear to change every day-and-two-thirds (1 day 16 hours, or 40 hours), at 00:00, 16:00, and 08:00 UTC, in order and repeating. Whether this will be consistent across long periods is unknown.

Big Run rotations work differently. These rotations last for 48 hours (two full days), presumably always starting (and then ending) at 0:00 UTC. It appears that a Big Run will replace the Splatfest for the month in which they occur and that they only happen once per season. Any player can play in a big run, regardless of rank. Finally, unlike most regular rotations, Big Runs are publicly announced in-game a few days in advance of when they happen. After a Big Run ends, the ordinary rotation schedule resumes immediately.

Loaned weapons

All main weapons are usable in Salmon Run Next Wave. The damage dealt by main weapons is adjusted for Salmon Run when compared to other multiplayer modes, especially for charging weapons or weapons with slow firing rates - for example, the Splat Roller deals 200 damage rather than the usual 150 with a horizontal flick, while the Heavy Splatling and Nautilus 47 are both buffed to deal 35 damage per shot when fully-charged. The dummies in the Salmon Run waiting area reflect these changes to damage scaling.

Like in Splatoon 2, the only sub weapon available in Salmon Run Next Wave is the Splat Bomb.

Unlike in Splatoon 2, there are more than four special weapons available in Salmon Run Next Wave. The special weapons are the Crab Tank, Killer Wail 5.1, Reefslider, Wave Breaker, Booyah Bomb, Triple Inkstrike and Inkjet. Special weapons are loaned out at random at the beginning of each shift, do not change between waves, and are unaffected by rotations. The player receives two of their assigned special to use during the regular waves, and then one more for the Xtrawave if it occurs. Specials saved during the regular waves do not carry over to the Xtrawave - all players receive a single usage of their special weapon at the start of Xtrawave.

Big Run Stages

Big Run is an occasional event during Salmon Run Next Wave, in which the Salmonids invade the Splatlands and/or Inkopolis. Different multiplayer stages get selected to be invaded by the Salmonids, which causes the layout to change during the event, and for water to flood the stage.

Wildcard rotation

Wildcard rotations return in Salmon Run Next Wave, the first started on 1 October 2022 at 16:00 (UTC). So far, all-wildcard rotations and rare-only rotations have been confirmed; one-wildcard rotations have yet to be seen.

During an all-wildcard rotation, the only weapon available in the testing range is the Splattershot. After a shift ends, players are still equipped with the weapon they ended the shift with in the testing range, but it is replaced with the Splattershot when the bihourly multiplayer stage rotation happens.

Grizzco-brand weapons return for wildcard rotations and two new weapons, the Grizzco Stringer and Grizzco Splatana, have been added.

For a history of wildcard rotations, see Salmon Run Next Wave data.

Events

Main article: Known Occurrence

There are nine different events in Salmon Run Next Wave, with some having variants. Seven of the events return from Salmon Run in Splatoon 2.

• Water Levels (high and low tides)
• Rush
• Fog
• The Griller
• Cohock Charge
• Goldie Seeking
• The Mothership
• Mudmouth Eruptions
• Giant Tornado

Job Title

“	The Profreshional title has been usurped by Eggsecutive VP, providing a shining new rung on the corporate ladder. Your earning power will increase with a higher title, but the job sites will get more intense too. We've even recorded a 333% increase in hazard level at the sites where Eggsecutive VPs work.	”
— Live from Squid Research Lab

All job titles from Splatoon 2 return. A new title, Eggsecutive VP, has been added following the Profreshional title.

Title / Rank	Paygrade (Rank Points 0 - 49)	Paygrade (Rank Points 50-99)	Hazard level range
Intern (2 tutorials)	100%	100%	N/A
Apprentice (0 - 99)	150%	155%	0.0% - 19.8%
Part-Timer (0 - 99)	160%	165%	20.0% - 39.8%
Go-Getter (0 - 99)	170%	175%	40.0% - 59.8%
Overachiever (0 - 99)	180%	185%	60.0% - 79.8%
Profreshional Part-Timer (0 - 99)	190%	195%	80.0% - 99.8%
Profreshional +1 (0 - 99)	200%	205%	100.0% - 119.8%
Profreshional +2 (0 - 99)	210%	215%	120.0% - 139.8%
Profreshional +3 (0 - 99)	220%	225%	139.8% - 159.8%
Eggsecutive VP (0 - 999)	230%	235%	160.0% - 333.0%

At Eggsecutive VP, the pay grade is calculated as 2.3 + floor([Rank Points] / 50) × 0.05. The highest possible pay grade is ×3.25 at Eggsecutive VP 950 - 999. Following Splatoon 2, titles are retained across Salmon Run rotations, but the point ranges are reset to the 40-point mark within the player's current title, including the new Eggsecutive VP title.

Rewards

Completion of a round of Salmon Run Next Wave grants players Grizzco Points, which they can redeem at the exchange desk inside Grizzco Industries for bonuses. The points earned after any run are calculated with the formula (G/100)(E+P/200)+50*C, where G is the pay grade number after any raises or penalties, E is the number of Golden Eggs collected, P is the number of Power Eggs collected, and C is 1 upon completing all 3 rounds successfully, 2 upon successfully defeating the King Salmonid, otherwise 0. (However, due to a bug as of Version 1.2.1, C is equal to 2 even if losing to the King Salmonid.) All counts are rounded down to the nearest integer. Players also earn Catalog Points which increase their catalog level (300 points per wave cleared, including if the Xtrawave is cleared). If the player participates in an Xtrawave and damages the King Salmonid, they receive fish scales.

Every 100 Grizzco Points (200/400 after reaching 1200/4000 points in a rotation, or 2400/5200 for a Big Run rotation) earns the player one bonus "capsule", which come in different colors representing the type of the contents, or a piece of gear. The main ability of this item is randomly determined when the bonus is redeemed. It usually has up to three randomly filled secondary gear ability slots. If the player receives gear they already have, they can either replace the old gear with the new version or receive ability chunks (equal to the filled slots) instead.

Reward	Type	50%	40%	10%
Blue capsule	Drink ticket	5,000	One drink ticket	Four drink tickets
Green capsule	Ability chunks	5,000	Two ability chunks	Four ability chunks
Orange capsule	Food ticket	5,000	One 1.5× cash ticket	One 2× cash ticket
Pink capsule	Gear	One filled ability slot	Two filled ability slots	Three filled ability slots
Showcased Gear
Yellow capsule	Cash	5,000	16,000	32,000

Normal, non-superbonus capsules have a 50% chance of providing a poor reward, a 40% chance of providing a good reward, and a 10% chance of providing an excellent reward. At 600 and 1200 points, the player earns a superbonus, which always contains the 10% chance reward. The type of superbonus capsule is fixed for the length of a rotation. After 1200 points, the player only earns the current gear or pink capsules until the rotation ends. During a Big Run, all types of rewards can appear up to 2400 points, with additional superbonuses at 1800 and 2400. The capsules of the rewards until the second superbonus are different for every player.

Pink capsules contain gear aside from the one currently in rotation. During the first gear rotation, when the Bream-Brim Cap was the only gear piece available, pink capsules did not appear as a reward.

The exchange desk stores only a maximum of 99 capsules. Each additional capsule that the player receives without collecting the previous rewards will be lost.

Gear

Gear by Grizzco Industries is obtained from Salmon Run bonus rewards. When obtained, each gear reward has random initial star power and abilities. The star power is initialized from 0 to 2 stars with all secondary ability slots filled, while the initial primary ability cannot be the primary-exclusive one. If the player receives gear they already have, they can either replace the old gear with the new version or swap for ability chunks (equal to the secondary abilities, but not the primary ability) instead. A new piece of gear is added each month, similar to Splatoon 2.

The Grizzco Item Shop

By defeating or damaging a King Salmonid, players are rewarded with Fish scales that they can use to purchase work suits, gear, decorations, stickers, or banners. Most items are locked by default, however, the rest are unlocked by spending more scales. The first set of unlockable items requires spending at least  100 and  10 to unlock, while the rest of the items requires spending at least a total of  350,  40, and  4.

Quotes

“	SRL HR dept. here. No, it's not another mandatory seminar about conserving printer toner. Rather, we're confirming that Salmon Run is available 24/7 in the Splatoon 3 game! That means you can work nonstop to climb the corporate salmon ladder - maybe all the way to Eggsecutive VP! Now, at the end of the day, it's all about that paycheck. And we think Salmon Run workers are handsomely rewarded! Diligent employees who have collected fish scales can trade them in for bonus items like designer work suits. As always, we support a healthy work-splat balance.	”
— @SplatoonNA on Twitter

“	Salmon Run is open for business 24/7 in #Splatoon3, and you can team up with friends in private lobbies too! If you defeat the big 'ol King Salmonid, you may earn some rare fish scales that can be exchanged for snazzier uniforms.	”

Trivia

• The Salmometer is internally referred to as "smell". This, as well as wording in the Employee Handbook, may imply that the Salmometer is a metaphor for the King Salmonid gradually learning the scent of the crew members as they keep returning to the same location.
• The Splatterscope and E-liter 4K Scope are unavailable as weapons in rotations, including during wildcard rotations.
