Splatoon’s Kelp Dome Multiplayer Map Is Now Live

It's just a single player map retooled for MP although it is quite a fun map in SP will try multiplayer version of it in a few!

There is only 2 words to describe this map. (charger paradise)

@Uberchu all of the maps are in SP. This one is so dope tho!

No need for more levels if there is no more locked content. Otherwise people would just be unlocking the ability to display a higher number - and people arent that petty, are they? We're Wii U gamers, not CoD pre-teeners.

This article is very kelpful!

There's a very different strategy for this one, in part because you can get to the other base very easily.

Kelp me get my feet back on the ground,won''t you please please kelp me.

I really enjoy this map. In fact I think every single map in the game is a stroke of genius. I mean, a good set of maps can make or break the game. And Splatoon has some of THE most well designed maps I have ever played in a competitive shooter, bar freakin none.

Glad this game is going to keep being supported with updates, it'll keep the game fresh and keep people playing. Excited for Splatfest.

After 15 or so battles I'm thinking ths is my favorite map.

@MasterWario can you actually climb up there though?

I'm still waiting for Nintendo to make these new maps and weapons available in the 1v1 battles.

@shinesprite yeah I actually love battle dojo and play it for hours on end sometimes so I would love these maps and content to make its way there

I love this map! It's incredibly easy to rack up well over 1000 turf points (not counting the win bonus)!

It doesn't cater to snipers and campers like Arowana Mall does, love it. Pure ambush-or-be-ambushed fun!

So that's a total of 7 maps now, I believe. Nice. Let's keep it coming, Nintendo.

Thanks to NL's heads up yesterday, I made sure to be on at 10PM (NYC time) to play in the Kelp Dome. Another great map. So much turf and so little cover! Love how you can see the dome's shadow during the judging--nice little detail.

This map is brilliant. I think it might be my favorite map. I really love the catwalk where you can spray far away but people can kill you from underneath.

@JaxonH - Signed up for friend battle w/ you around 10 last night but you never showed in game. Played a few matches w/ william, Im guessing your friend, think I outscored him and even beat his team once, proving w/o a doubt the aerospray is OP, as Im just not that good.
Well maybe not OP, I still get killed a lot, but its the undisputed score leader.

Enjoyable map in turf wars, easily defended in splat zone. Only played ranked once though so maybe my team was just doing it wrong, the other team captured it and surrounded it below, they seemed well coordinated, we seemed all wily nily and it didnt last long.

I don't think there's a reason for a new level cap. There's lots of new players and I think it allows people to get comfortable within the boundaries.

New levels should only become available with new equipment, and I'd be totally down with unusual or tactic-heavy weapons unlocked with higher levels. Even new skins for the old ones. Simple pleasures

@rjejr
You probably joined right as I quit to play single player. I hit rank 20 and want the Aerospray. Speaking of which, what must I do to unlock the Aerospray? I just defeated 2nd boss and got 2 Kelp Splatterscopes (one with zoom and the other without) from hidden scrolls... Do I need to find a specific scroll or just any old scroll unlocks the next weapon on the list?

@JaxonH I believe you need to clear the third boss to get the Aerospray, if not then it's the fourth one.

@Iggly I'd been told the 3rd boss by a few people, but so far had only gotten weapons from scrolls, so I began to question if they didn't just coincidentally get a scroll around the time of the 3rd boss.

Good to hear... Did TJ tell you about his new Wii U we got him?

@JaxonH The bosses do come with scrolls, but it's pretty reasonable to think you get the weapon scrolls from specific levels.

And oh I haven't, I still gotta add you guys on my Wii U. I can probably play this weekend, but I'll be busy next week due to exams. After that I'm free to play whenever.

@Iggly @JaxonH - What Iggly said. My guess is the scroll you get when you beat the 3rd boss, which I suppose you could technically miss if you rushed to get the zapfish, but most people probably pick it up. And there are 2 aerospray, MG and RG, silver and bronze looking, and they both showed up in the shop unlocked after I beat the 3rd boss.

On the bright side world 3 is by far the best of the 5 worlds so you have that to look forward to. OK, time to go give the final boss another shot.

@Uberchu No but it would be a death sentence anyway as they are safe inside the spawn point.
