splatoon 3 For Nintendo Switch is the second installment in the series, and with it comes new quality-of-life features, weapons, and customization options.
The game features a platformer story mode with fun bosses and great music, but the meat of the game is in the multiplayer Turf War mode. Players engage in four-on-four battles to see who can cover more of the stage with colored ink. With a variety of weapons and customization options, it’s a state of chaos every time.
If you’ve never played a Splatoon game before, or maybe if you’re rustling past releases from five years ago, we’ve provided some tips to help you win your Turf War game.

Remember to ink your base
You don’t need to ink it at the very beginning of the map, but each time you respawn and pass through the base, you should ink it a little more until it’s completely covered.
