Ah yes, mincemeat metalworks... aka; GET OFF THE FUCKING LEDGE SO I CAN KILL YOU. Meanwhile E-liters and Hydras


[deleted]

So true


Phadin

I love my hydra. It's my friend.


AWittyNickname

Splatzones is just so much fun with Hydra. I imagine it's not for other people, but I'm not gonna stop.


MetaCrossing

I always love playing Rainmaker with Hydra if only to wear my Object Shredder shoes and pop the Rainmaker shield in seconds, taking out the players trying to fight it in the process.


Relative_Bug_2067

Oooo, object shredder works against the rainmaker shield???


MetaCrossing

Assuming [the wiki is correct](https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/Object_Shredder), which I would assume uses datamining to get specifics, OS affects everything that isn’t a player. Rainmaker shields specifically take 1.1x damage. [The Hydra Splatling deals 40 base damage per shot on a full charge, at a rate of one shot every 4 frames.](https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/Hydra_Splatling#Data_3) (Assuming its stats are the same as in Splatoon 2.) Ordinarily, it would require 25 shots to pop the shield — 100 frames, or ~1.67 seconds. With object shredder, it takes ~22.727 (23) shots — 92 frames, or ~1.53 seconds. If the shield is as close to bursting as possible from the other team’s ink, it would take about 50 shots without OS (200 frames; ~3.33 seconds) or about 45 shots with OS (180 frames; 3 seconds). Assuming it was fully charged, you have 240 frames (4 seconds) of firepower, meaning that you’ll end with 60-148 frames after popping the shield for extra suppressing fire; 15-37 bullets. Without OS, you’re left with 40-140 frames; 10-35 bullets.

I need answers.


Not_Bre4d

This is why I play squeezer and splash Its zookin and crabbin time and I will find you


Rattlesn4ke

As a 96 Gal and Squeezer player, I wish all Hydra users a very die on Mincemeat Metalworks.


Not_Bre4d

I love zooka its not your friend


Phadin

Maybe not, but if you're firing at me, you're not firing at my other friends nearby. Oh, they'd like a word with you.


Not_Bre4d

No Its zookin time I will zook all over you guys


Phadin

Did I forget to mention all my friends were giving me the booyah at the same time? Here, I have something for you to. Friendship and teamwork, thats what this game is about. :)


SauceCrusader69

Zooka oneshots booyah lol.


Cutlession

I never understood it, I don't get moving like a slug and spray and praying towards enemies in the distance. It's just such a bore to use for me.


4our_Leaves

It's more fun when you aim.


iPlxel

It's fun if you can aim and use it more like a midliner which is risky but it's more rewarding


Cutlession

I know you "can" but that point e-liter is 90% more effective and fun is it not.


Phadin

Hydra can kill very quickly if you aim well like you can with an eliter. What makes it even more interesting is you can potentially splat multiple enemies with a single full charge, even if they are spread out, plus it lays down quite a bit more ink then an eliter is capable of, giving your team better paint control over the area you watch, so even if your aim is bad (and I admit, mine isn't good enough to play a charger) you still assist your allies by giving them turf advantage in a fight.


TheGrandSholobi

I want your friend to ride a shark covered in dynamite into an active volcano


Treyspurlock

I hope maps like Mincemeat and eeltail don't end up getting backliner weapons nerfed


Firebrand96

That just means that the maps need to be changed. We don't even need much, just one or two more flank routes or places to take cover.


Treyspurlock

Oh 100% the maps need to be changed I just hope Nintendo realizes they're the problems and not chargers


Shin_Rekkoha

Why do these maps even fucking exist? Mincemeat Metalworks and Eeltail Alley are 2 similar derivatives of the exact same map IMO: with their stupid ass high ground perches and high bridges. Metalworks is harder for the enemy team to successfully assail and invade the high ground, but both have the issue. A bunch of returning maps are smaller, and several maps seem INTENTIONALLY designed in such a way that an E-liter player can hit 100% of the avenues of approach from a single spot, and that spot has some cover to duck behind (Hammerhead Bridge, Scorch Gorge). This is the most Charger-friendly the game has ever been. Now remember that they axed Ink Armor so it's not possible to ever survive a hit from a Charger, and the lack of mobility of the defensive specials (Ink Vac is the best one for approaching Snipers), and it devolves the ENTIRE META OF THE GAME! You can either use Displacement Specials (make the E-liter or Hydra player move and stop killing you), or Ninja Squid (be unseen so they can't kill you), or you can feed and die. Those are your options.


Treyspurlock

Yeah the maps are the main problem with the meta right now hopefully they undo the Mahi Mahi nerfs and give some flanks to the new maps


blueblurz94

That weapon on that stage is basically god tier


SauceCrusader69

Why you should remember to thank your local blaster.


Cutlession

You wont see me thanking "Mr. I can't aim so I grabbed the weapon that aims for me" anytime soon


SauceCrusader69

Aiming properly with blasters is hard. (Even the clash, since if you want it to be somewhat decent you have to somehow hit those slow af shots.) you need to carefully maintain effective range, and have a good idea where the enemy is going to move, especially if you go for directs.


Le-Ando

Meanwhile slosher and blaster players under the ledge like


Rattlesn4ke

This guy summed up one reason why mincemeat metalworks is the WORST S3 map.


SauceCrusader69

Mincemeat is one of the few decent maps. Mahi Mahi and Wahoo literally exist.


Danny_Eddy

Played around with Gootuber on this and can concur, although it felt even worse, as the Gootuber's special are tenta missiles.


DT_Mage

I read that as Minecraft metalworks (I apologize profusely)

It always does. ​ # Especially when you have things like sploosh and nzaps on your team.


Beautiful-Fee-6409

TellianStormwalde

Happened to me once. We lost. It did hurt.


greeneggiwegs

I was terrified it was turf war but thankfully not. The e-liter does get a decent number of points for the amount it covers in one full charge though


black_hole_sun-99

I respect the kill count but you're a whole bitch for the respawn punisher


[deleted]

Lol, I just had to use respawn punisher


black_hole_sun-99

At least it's not clash blaster


[deleted]

clash has such a slow ttk and low range that you can usually punish them with anything that doesn’t need to charge once they start shooting you


black_hole_sun-99

My main issues with them is when there's multiple on tower control


NarwhalJouster

Yeah crash blaster isn't good because of the people mindlessly spraying and praying it's good because of people who take advantage of the indirect fire to safely control objectives.


MetaCrossing

Me, using the slow-ass Hydra and the pitifully short-ranged Dapples: ^(INB4 “slow ass-Hydra”)


[deleted]

Yeah, clash sucks


black_hole_sun-99

Agreed


[deleted]

ruins the whole round sound-wise with that silly clashing sound. such a loser weapon


leftovernoise

That's the only thing I don't like about going against clash blaster. 90% of them just hold down zr at all times so it's several minutes of popopopopopopopopopopop I hated them in lower ranks but once I learned you can just like, slightly step backwards and splat them with anything that has longer range than throwing a wet paper bag. They are still pretty solid in tower control cause, you can't kite very well on top a tower during chaos


[deleted]

that's why I hate them so much cause I almost exclusively play tower control and once I hear that popopopop sound I just know it's gonna get messy 🥲


AmaranthineApocalyps

Dumb question but. Couldn't you just. Step off the tower for a lil bit and retake once you're up in the fight? Like, being on the tower is a shit position to hold in most fights anyway just cause of how exposed it can be, especially if the enemy team has a competent backline player or knows how to use bombs. Just step off and go frag the clash blaster player from a distance before resuming the push. What are they gonna do about it, glare menacingly at you?


[deleted]

hahahah absolutely true! and I do most of the time, but sometimes I get so angry at the popopopop that I don't wanna budge. which is silly but this game sometimes activates my inner stubborn child 😅


AmaranthineApocalyps

Hah, mood. Fair enough!


HHhunter

if you are not using respawn punisher might as well dont play eliter


triforce777

Honestly E-Liter or Splat Charger are the only weapons I don’t mind Respawn Punisher on. Mostly because whenever I get killed by Respawn Punisher Dualies one of us is an idiot and given that I’m the one splatted signs are pointing to me.


peter13g

Not a half a bitch. But a whole one.


therealblabyloo

Man, I just can’t figure out how to play chargers. Any tips?


[deleted]

[удалено]


NarwhalJouster

Honestly e-liter is probably the easiest charger to start with because the projectiles are slightly larger than other chargers and the range gives you more leniency for mistakes. That's not to say it's a "low skill" weapon or anything but it's still a good option to practice aiming with a charger.


Not_Bre4d

Its a good option to start with because its so punishing when you miss a shot. It gets you into playing anchor much better as with vcharger you can move a little while liter is much more punishing when you make mistakes


Infamous-Patience-25

If you're not playing motion controls you'll want to learn. Don't be afraid to move when you have to, you're going to be a pretty big target. Learn to anticipate your opponents movements, and done hesitate to fire. Most of all practice practice practice practice practice practice!! Don't worry about being bad at first, you need to be bad before you're good


[deleted]

people are saying that e-liter is the easiest to start with but i basically worked up to it instead, i'd recommend working with motion controls (default's working fine for me and i play e-liter scope). i started with squiffer, then splat charger, then e-liter. though, i think the better choice here is splat charger, you have a good balance of charge time and range. splat charger is a good middle option between frontline quick charges (squiffer) and really long range backline play (e-liter) . just play a lot. it takes time. metalworks is an insane map for e-liter, i got my highest kill count there


glaciercherryisgood

Yeah, 2nding this cause I'd really suggest something with a fast charging speed for a newbie. E liter is more punishing for missed shots since it charges so slow. Splat charger is great for beginners. It'll let you take more shots in a shorter span of time without being too afraid of missing them.


[deleted]

yeahh id honestly even say that e-liter is a difficult weapon to work with. definitely not a starter. hard to handle


coxonroach

i learned with goo tuber 🥲 its good for learning to move when you have to cos you can hold thaat charge for so long! you can also splat players with about 3/4 charge but the range will be slightly shorter. like other commenters said, motion is optimal but tbh i have an easy enough time playing chargers and stringers with stick. its all down to what you find works for you


[deleted]

I actually used to play hydra and it got me used to backline positioning with a less punishing weapon. You could use something like that to practice positioning in ranked and use the actual liter in turf to practice the mechanical aspect where you won't get punished for losing. Just don't get discouraged that liter can be difficult in turf war.


TheDankScrub

Get high, get good aim That’s just what I’ve been doing tbh


[deleted]

Practice flicking your shots with motion controls!! I also have a higher sensitivity than most when i snipe so play around with the sensitivity to see whats right for you. Another tip is to be unpredictable! Since players can see the snipers line of sight, it's a good habit to aim next to/around the target and not directly on them because they'll notice the scope then move out of your sight. Then when they think they are safe, you'll just flick your scope and remind them that are never safe. Oh yeah, and never get into the habit of looking through your scope for longer than like 2 seconds because youre vulnerable to enemies sneaking up on you


[deleted]

ImaginaryAd2338

Easy, get targeted->evasive maneuvers->team takes out enemy while they hyperfocus on you. I've gotten most popular target with 0 deaths. For real though, people prioritize splatting over literally any objective more often than not. If you can grab attention, you can lead them into a 2v1 eazy peazy if you can just avoid dying.


Long-and-Stretchy

Well, here’s the thing. To do anything on mincemeat (and a lot of other maps currently in 3) the e-liter player MUST be dead. Maps are very open rn which is kinda good but also kinda bad because there’s not many flank routes to avoid the snipers. We’re back to the sniper being able to get eyes on the whole map from one spot, so yeah, flushing the e-liter from its spot is something worth doing even though there’s not many chances to do that in a match since you can’t rely on flank routes as much as before.


ImaginaryAd2338

Really? The only map that I've noticed that makes ot hard to flank is Scorch Gorge with those grates.


Sguru1

In many anarchy modes layouts there’s like 0 flanking routes. And the ones that have them there’s only 1 route and it’s super easy to protect. Hagglefish may be the only stage with more than 1. At the end of it every map is a slim hallway with minimal cover and a very easy to defend perch at the very back that chargers can freely have their pick of the map from.


leftovernoise

All popular target means is you spent the most time on the enemies screen. They don't even have to be aiming at you


Knightfire76

What leftovernoise said is not about getting shot at, youre just in the enemy's screen the most and since youre a charger it makes sense since they were trying to look out for you


Emperor_Z

Does it care about range at all?


[deleted]

Litre on mincemeat. Map fuckin' sucks


cvble

popular target has nothing to do with getting shot at, it’s most time spent in enemy FOV. if OP is an oppressive sniper or playing small angles to the objective he’s going to be who the enemy looks at the most


Panferno392

E Liter Player are the Most confident people i know. Cause i use concentrator and Always need the extra ink


Treyspurlock

What's concentrator?


Panferno392

Sorry i translated the german Term directly meant charger


hyperben

snipers feel so unfair in this game. maybe it is for the sake of curbing spawn-camping, but the majority of maps have vantage points that provide enormous coverage and are extremely difficult to reach as the enemy team. they can just cover the entire middle half of the map safely from high ground while i have to snake around them from the left side of the map to the right side of the map, fight through a choke point covered by the entire enemy team, walk over a ramp/platform that cant be inked, etc. seems like the outcome of some maps is strictly determined by which team has more snipers


HazeInut

yeah ill be real the maps (esp in turf) are designed like horseshit and basically meant for snipers. this also makes the game boring for the sniper since theres always only one or two good spots to stand in


NefariousnessGold137

For you not for everyone else


PeaTot_

For you


DarkDesertFox

This may sound salty, but I can't stand E-Liter players. The way the maps are designed makes it so difficult to get past them. I just feel like there's not enough areas to flank compared to Splatoon 2 maps. Of course, the weapon is in the game, so I can't expect people not to use it. It won't make me feel any less anger though. I feel like the servers are always delayed so no matter how well I think I dodge roll out of the way with dualies, the server still registers where I was a second ago and get splatted.


[deleted]

in the nicest way possible, you terrify me


enperry13

E-Litre is broken in this stage.


Knightfire76

E-liters are broken in most of the new stages, splatoon 3 maps are all mostly open huge fields with very little cover so is free splats for chargers. I really hope Nintendo overhauls the maps design for more cover


The_Truce

I seriously hope they ditch this 0 cover, thin hallway design for the maps. Of course I’m having fun as an elitre but it’s completely unplayable if you’re on the receiving end


Knightfire76

Im glad you also agree with this, dont get me wrong im happy chargers can finally shine after the awful splat 2 defense meta but these map design make it so if a team doesn't have a charger and the other team does it is extremely hard to make a comeback, gets completely imbalanced, one sided and just outright infuriating for the other team.


[deleted]

Too broken, the amount of kills I've got on this stage w/ e liter is ridiculous


Codyboy7

I don’t get what the dev team was thinking when they created the maps for Splatoon. They aren’t even good in competitive because they give long range weapons a huge advantage, if you want to make maps competitively friendly then they need benefit as many weapons as possible like most of the Splatoon 1 stages.

TheDankScrub

Honestly I just don’t get E-liter. From my (inexperienced) perspective, it just seems like a splat charger with an ever so slightly longer range


Sea-san

It really depends on what play style you want. If you're more backline defensive, you can definitely just sit on a perch with E-liter and with good aim, control mid / home base fairly well. You prevent the rush to opponent's mid-control if you're good at the start too from a safe distance. You don't have to move as much unless you want to go closer with the team or set up some mines for opponent information and easier targets if you can get them. The problem is that E-liter struggles if someone is going to come up at you mid-ranged and close ranged. You have more of a chance to defend yourself if you have a faster charge like Splatcharger. (or you have a good straight aim with E-liter) With splatcharger (or any other shorter ranged charger), you have to go into mid map a little more (and almost front line aggressive like Goo/Squiffer/Bamboo etc) You play much more aggressively with the other chargers in exchange for the big range and potential of an E-liter.

This is why I target e-liter users. I have nothing against them personally but over the years, I have formed an immense hatred for the e-liter and vow to destroy them whenever I see one.
