Quick Respawn is an ability in Splatoon and Splatoon 2.

This ability shortens the player's respawn time after getting splatted; in Splatoon 2, only if certain conditions are met.

Without this ability, watching the splat cam takes about 6 seconds (after a approx. 0.5 second splatting animation), followed by a approx. 2 second respawn animation; (total approx. 8.5 seconds). This ability only reduces the splat cam portion of the respawn process. Without this ability, the total respawn time for drowning in water and for falling out-of-bounds, is about 7 seconds and about 5.5 seconds respectively.

Tactics

Quick Respawn tends to be most useful in Ranked Battles. This is due to the importance of getting back to the front lines quickly and the high likelihood of being splatted, since both teams are often gathered in a single area, such as around the Rainmaker or a Splat Zone. Teamwork is a crucial element of Ranked Battles, as well; being able to rejoin one's team just a moment sooner may turn the tide of battle. Stealth Jump paired with this ability can further help the user quickly get back into action after they get splatted.

Splatoon

After getting splatted, Quick Respawn decreases the time spent watching the splat cam or black screen.

Respawn time after being splatted by falling out-of-bounds or drowning in water is shorter than after being splatted by another player.

Splatoon 2

Mechanics

Quick Respawn only activates when the user gets splatted twice without the user splatting a player (or getting splatted by the Rainmaker) in between; going out of bounds is ignored.

Clarification:

• For Quick Respawn to activate, the player must not splat an enemy during the time between the most recent enemy-caused death and the current death.
• In a traded scenario, the activation of Quick Respawn depends on who died first. For example, if the player throws a bomb that splats an opponent after the player dies, that splat prevents Quick Respawn from activating in next death, but allows it to activate for the current death.
• Assists do not count as splats. A splat confirmation notification will show on the player's screen if they score a splat.
• There can be any number of deaths between the most recent enemy-caused death and the current death. For example, a player dies once to an enemy, then five times to water, and then to an enemy. As long as the player in the example did not score any splats during the time between the first and second death to the enemy, Quick Respawn will activate.
• These death types do not count as enemy-caused: drowning in water, falling out of bounds, touching the Rainmaker barrier, having the Rainmaker time out and explode while carrying it.
• The need for a previous death means that the first death in a match will never benefit from Quick Respawn. Every following death can potentially benefit.
