Splatoon 3is live, and the splatting is in full swing.
This is a competitive game that has a heavy focus on multiplayer matches.
Your goal is to win the Turf wars by taking over as much area as you might.
You do this by covering it in ink using a variety of weapons.
While there is a tutorial, you are thrown into the action pretty quickly.
Luckily, this beginner’s guide is here to walk you through the first few hours of the game.
Your First Match
When you start the game, you have two choices.
Go into the tower to play in turf wars or go into the sewer to try out the single-player.
You also likely noticed that there were only two maps that the game was cycling through.
At this rank, you will be able to use the clothing shops back in the square.
Since this usually means spending less time covering the map, it actually ends uphurting the team.
Keep in mind that when your team wins a game, you get a boost in points.
This means that you might buy more gear and that you will level up even faster.
This is due to thedifferent playstylesof the individual players.
For example, I flourish with dual wielding, while many other players stick to the roller in matches.
you’ve got the option to check them out by going toAmmo Knightsin the plaza.
Ideally, you want acombinationthat you’ve got the option to smoothly use with your gun.
You also may find that the sticky bombs are much more useful than the basic ones.
It’s up to you to try out each combination to see what fits.
Being Stylish
One aspect ofSplatoon 3that you should never skip is theclothing.
Clothing is essential as it gives you buffs in battle.
Most of the time, these clothes are cheap, and they will also come with an ability.
By wearing the clothes and playing in matches, you could unlock the other two slots as you level.
You are also able to customize your clothing slots by talking toMurchnext to the battle tower.
For example, a roller main with boosted speed can run you over just a bit quicker than normal.
This can mean that you have less time to shoot them before they reach you.
On the other end of things, quicker respawning can ensure that you get back to your team quickly.
This is especially important during tighter parts of the match where you are fighting over areas.
