You mean level up, the higher your level the rarer gear with more slots will appear in the shops. But you can still order any gear you want from other players in the plaza, regardless of your level and you can also add slots to any gear your want using sea snails from splatfests.

You mean level not rank, level means almost nothing as it is something that just increases over time based on how much ink you have spunked everywhere which isn't hard. It's based on skill and play style and current winstreak and weapon types, generally you won't see level distance more than that.

Playing this btw with the Pro pad is a different ball game. So much better.
I just do that because I like making the "wop wop" sound.

I'm new to the game... but are some me weapons a bit duff, then? I'd assumed that they could all work pretty well if used in the "right" way?
Basically yeah the weapons are situation specific and work depending on how you want to approach obstacles.

I don't mind stage and mode rotation but unless I'm mistaken it's not open now until Sat at 1am!
It would be better if Salmon Run were a legit mode you could play any time, and had a map schedule.
Surely that idea is so obvious that they must be working on it.EDIT: Ah, good, I Googled it and apparently this is happening. At the very least, more maps, and I imagine that will open up a more generous schedule.
Presumably they are also working on a way to change your load out in game then.

I disagree, I think this provides further challenge for example if you are going up against 3 or 4 scopes it's easy to use stealth to take them out until they give up and rage quit the lobby or the match is rebalanced because you keep KOing them. You can easily run past snipers and win the mode, actually they're kind of gooseberry fool in ranked and you only need 1/2 on a team. As an example. I hate campers in Splatoon.
A lot of people depend too much on their weapons which are all plenty powerful and forget about the fundamental swimming/strafing/stealth/vertical traversion mechanics that are unique to the game. They also don't know when to defend or advance for example how to create roadblocks with ink and how to use the defensive items like mines and spray walls. Also when to use your specials. That's how you get good at Splatoon. You'll be a lot more successful if you swim around and flank and avoid the chokepoints, just let the rest of your team do that as most people don't realise this is a strategy game based on territory and kills mean very little.
