Press the ZL Button on the Gadget page of your Gear screen to view your equipped parts. It's a good way to help think about your overall gear combos and the big picture behind your builds.

You can also press the - Button to save your presets. Pretty convenient! #SplatoonRaiders

We're calling this one the Floaty Explosion. Use the Floaty Fun part with a Torqscrew and then unleash a Shellacker upon those Salmonids. Scatter some Bombloons around during the Shellacker cooldown for even more explosive fun. #SplatoonRaiders

Here's one we call the Invincible Mitt. Combine the high attack power of the Meteor Mitt with the Dash Bomb's Next-Gadget Damage part, and we think you'll see some interesting results. #SplatoonRaiders
August 4, 2026 at 5:59 PM
We call this one the Limitless Tether Wail. Maximize the strength of your Tether Wail by taking advantage of the agility of the Speed Tank—then add a Reel 'Em In part to attract more Salmonids, line them up, and finish them off! #SplatoonRaiders

Shiver, Frye and Big Man will be there to help you out no matter what! Two days to go! #SplatoonRaiders
July 21, 2026 at 3:37 PM
Three days until you can take on the Salmonids of the Spirhalite Islands... #SplatoonRaiders
July 20, 2026 at 3:41 PM
The Spirhalite Islands are home to some unique species of Salmonid!

The guides contain information about the gear you obtain as well as the ecology of Salmonids. It can be good to look through them once in a while and immerse yourself in the knowledge!
July 17, 2026 at 4:11 PM
Big Man will record the information you gather in your adventures. The Hoard contains what secrets of the Spirhalite Islands you've learned, and you might find some details about the history of Deep Cut too.
July 17, 2026 at 4:11 PM
There are lots of Salmonid Relics to find on the Spirhalite Islands. Rumor has it that holding them can grant you a mysterious power. Surely such artifacts are worth a fortune! #SplatoonRaiders
July 17, 2026 at 4:10 PM
This creature has two large wing-like appendages. We...think it's a Salmonid, but we're not entirely sure. From the only reference materials we've been able to obtain, all we can deduce is that it is extremely violent. #SplatoonRaiders
