Rare weapon wildcard rotation
Every few months, a wildcard rotation has golden question marks instead of the normal green ones. This signifies that the supplied weapons are all rare, but still randomly loaned. Each player is equally likely to receive any of the four rare weapons. The first such rotation took place on and was announced in a Tweet citing a message from Mr. Grizz saying he could not get the standard weapons ready on time, so the shift would take place using only his personal belongings.[3] Like other random rotations, Frantic Aspic replaces Deluge Dirge during normal waves.
Local mode
There is an option to play and host a Salmon Run locally at The Shoal, requiring other players having a separate console and copy of Splatoon 2 to participate. Local play is independent of the online Salmon Run rotation, thereby being available at all times. The host of a local Salmon Run can select which maps are played and set the hazard levels (not to be confused with the Pay Grade), which range from 5 – 200% as of version 4.0.0. Versions before this one had a range of 5 – 100% at the start of a play session, where the players have to clear a match set at the highest hazard level to be able to gain the option to increase the difficulty by 10%, with 200% being the max limit. A hazard level of 100% is the equivalent to Profreshional 100, having a Pay Grade of 215%, meanwhile, a hazard level of 120% equals to Profreshional 200 with a Pay Grade of 240%. Matches played in the local mode do not affect the rankings and battle records of the online version.
The following is a table of the different hazard levels corresponding job title:
| Title | Hazard level |
|---|---|
| Apprentice | 5% – 15% |
| Part-Timer | 20% – 35% |
| Go-Getter | 40% – 55% |
| Overachiever | 60% – 75% |
| Profreshional | 80% – 200% |
When playing locally, Mr. Grizz has a darkened icon and is known as “Raspy Voice” while he comments as usual. At the end of the result screen, there is no dialogue present, unlike the online version of Salmon Run.
Players can choose the weapon that they play with during a match, with a selection screen being similar to the Equip screen. There is also an option to choose a random weapon. The weapons that are available to use are not tied to the weapons that are purchased in Ammo Knights, having a separate weapon selection.
The following is a list of all available weapons in local Salmon Run.
