New Game Mode: Rainmaker

We hope squids are ready to make it RAIN!

Or at least ready to play more ranked soon, as Rainmaker will be released this upcoming Friday in another Splatoon update!

​

Being the third of the ranked matchmaking trio, Rainmaker asks you deliver a golden fish to the other team's base, similar to the Bomb gametype in the Halo series. Though be warned, it won't be easy. The Rainmaker has a shield to protect itself, and can only be held for 60 seconds. Teamwork and bodyguarding will be essential. Luckily, whoever is holding the Rainmaker is not defenseless, as the fish of gold can be charged up and fire huge whirlpools of ink! (Think like a shorter range inkzooka, but with much more width! AND SCARY SOUND EFFECTS!)

The fine folks at GameXplain already have a match for all your over-analyzing needs as well on their channel!

Are you hyped for Rainmaker? What's your favorite ranked game so far? Let us know down in the comments!

Uh, everyone uses the minimap. It's sort of essential to the game.

How many late people like you are going to realize that this matter is already over.

Lots off dumb people, trust me...

I love this mode. Carbon roller (Almost typo'd that as 'troller') lets me sneak up behind the other team and I can wipe out 2-3 players at a time as well as ink a path for my team mates. I do think some of the stalling is annoying but I haven't ran into it much. I have caught a team mate trying to hide in the northern part of saltspray rig, but there were 9 seconds on the timer left.

I agree with you! :) Carbon Roller (and all 3 Inkbrushes) are godly in this mode! And just wait until the Carbor Roller Deco is released. It's Seaker bombs and Seaker Bomb-rush will destroy Rainmaker mode!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excuse me? Sorry Solcalimari, I didn't realise. But calling me an idiot? After you use the wrong 'of' in your post as well? Is that really necessary?

*re-reads post, noticed spelling mistake... FACEPALM! * And I just called you an idiot because you didn't read further posts to see if the original post had already been replied to.
