A pretty good Rainmaker battle for me, particularly using the Splatterscope. We make a couple of good pushes forward, and hold the centre fairly well.
When we have the lead, and the end of the game nears, a squidmate grabs the Rainmaker and heads backwards, no doubt to keep the Rainmaker ...

Back to the Splatterscope for Rainmaker, a dubious move for me, and I clearly don't have an opening strategy for Saltspray Rig yet. But I do like grabbing hold of the Rainmaker! And riding the platforms with a charger is a silly amount of fun.
How did I sneak a splat ...

Okay, I don't make the best of starts, but I try to make amends by cutting off the other team's progress. And, okay, that doesn't go swimmingly either. But at least I'm there and trying. I have no idea where the others are.
Battling in the centre of the map still? ...

Maybe the Splatterscope isn't the best choice of weapon for Rainmaker with Saltspray Rig and Camp Triggerfish in the map rotation. The vantage points could suit the Tri-slosher better, so I give that a go.
The bucket certainly helps on Saltspray Rig, with all the differences in levels. And if only ...

I'm pretty sure I've never played Rainmaker on Saltspray Rig before. I think there were problems with the map. Anyway, my inexperience probably shows, as I didn't take a minute to recon the map and its changes before plunging in, with my Splatterscope no less.

A particularly good start in this Rainmaker battle on Camp Triggerfish. The standard Aerospray MG plus Seeker manoeuvre works well, splatting an inkling when bursting the shield, but grabbing the Rainmaker and squidding around to the side has a bit of situational awareness too. I see the inkling waiting to ...

Another great start to Camp Triggerfish Rainmaker. I lurk for a bit after bursting the shield to refill my ink tank, to see if someone foolishly rushes in to grab it. No one this time, so I take the Rainmaker for myself and squid along with squidmate support around the ...

I throw the standard Aerospray MG Seeker to help get us quickly to the centre of Camp Triggerfish, where we make short work of bursting the Rainmaker's shield, splatting two of the other team in the process. That shield has a large burst radius, and it can easily catch you ...

The Walleye Warehouse podium must be one of the hardest to reach. At least, it feels like it, with those ink-proof slopes and chokepoint right by the podium. But having said that, our opponents got a knockout victory against us a couple of times during the evening's session, so maybe ...

I'm sticking with the Aerospray MG on Camp Triggerfish. I send out a Seeker to get us to the Rainmaker, which works really well. It's probably better on this map than some others, though. And despite the Aerospray's rapid rate of fire, the other team is up at the Rainmaker ...
