Me: “Look at all these coins I have! Can I buy chunks please?” Nintendo: no

MMM CHUNKY

Never even knew that brands of clothing prefer and avoid specific abilities lol

I really hope that in Splatoon 3, customizing gear will be much easier and not require grinding.

There’s actually another unmentioned way to grind but it’s very similar to salmon run in a way, OCTO EXPANSION. if you beat it then you’ll be rewarded with this vending machine looking device in the main station that you can exchange CQ points for A LOT of coins,gear, and ability chunks, but as previously mentioned it’s very similar to the salmon run grind as it’s not a 100% guaranteed to give you ability chunks it’s purely random, personally what I do is grind an OCTO expansion whenever I don’t have Internet

"Most of the time, you just wanna show off." That's good knowledge of people. Very helpful video, I love to farm! Nice art by the way.

It ain't much, but it's honest work.

Vasko, this is actually incredibly useful - and the editing is perfect! Just eye catching enough to keep me interested but not distracted!

Ah yes, the perfect guide to help me get a the last bomb defense pure that I need Don't worry, I already completed my 3 pures of sub power up, so all is good

salmon run is definitely the fastest if you are over fishing- when at 999 rank and getting 100+ eggs every match you can get multiple pieces of gear per match, although this does require playing with friends and being good at salmon run

One thing to keep in mind when ordering Gear in the Square, is that 1 or 2 star gear will always have 1 or 2 sub ability slots, respectively, regardless of what the piece you ordered looks like. In other words, you can't order a one star gear and have it show up with three sub ability slots, full or otherwise. (unfortunate, given 1 star pures are so common, for the reasons Vasko gave) Great Video, Vasko 👍

THAT GUY!

I maxed out every single ability at x999 except for the last ability, I forget what it’s called but I’m close to maxing it, just from only playing salmon run, so since I don’t play turf or ranked I don’t use chunks so there’s that as well, it just takes patience most of all 👍🏽

5:03 guess I’ll hydrate or I’ll diedrate

Here’s a tip for speeding up the grind (if you have enough cash, that is). Only use 1 star gear for the grind, and wipe the gear after the first chunk. With a ticket, plus 500 points, plus a win, you get the first chunk after 1 turf war (two if you lose). Assuming you win only half the time, it should work out to around 45 chunks per ticket (20 matches) or around 2.25 chunks per match (depending on which matches you win or lose, since two wins next to each other is more chunks that a win next to a loss). Of course you will go thru a A LOT of cash doing this

thank you mr Vasko games I will now work to make all my gear have pure special saver

Something else! For an easy 20 gear chunks you need to go to the news’ splatoon channel that no-one uses or looks at anymore. Anyway, go the entrees about gear abilities. Just go to the bottom, redeem your first chunks, and do that for all the rest. But if you already did that then get the ones you haven’t gotten.

This was genuinely helpful. I didn’t think there was anything left to figure out about the system but reducing odds of all other chunks by using a drink that favors an ability different than the gear is genius.

Fun Fact: SplatNet can provide gear that has different main abilities than their vanilla variant, such as Negative LongCuff with Main Power instead of Haunt (was worth getting lmao).

Bro, I've needed this information for so long! Thanks

Been grinding chunks pretty close to this for a while! At this point I have enough to start working on semi-pures now Was wondering on the point system for gear in Ranked so that was interesting, too! Great video as always!

If you keep playing Salmon Run, and you get your ranking higher, the rate you get rewards can increase quite a bit. If you're really good at SR and you get your rank up into the 800s or 900s, your average hourly chunk haul can get way higher than 7

Pretty solid guide and explanation, will use this in Splatoon 3 ty.

I’ve been grinding with drink tickets and specific gear, but this helped clear a lot of questions I’ve had (especially finding out that EXP tickets don’t count toward gear.. god dammit I’m so dumb.) very well made & informal video about one the grind-fest that is abilities, I really really hope they at least let us buy chunks in 3. Thanks!! :)

This video is soo entertaining and helpful. Thank you Vasco :)

“Are their any abilities that you have less then 30?” *Yes all of them :’)*

thanks for the guide! really needed this

0:04 splash is 2 mains and 4 subs and you can also do 3 mains and 5 subs for the bamboo

That's me at 5:19 ! I have friends to play league now. Winning is another story though...

Thanks for the tips, ive been doing a lot of this too just in turf wars, splatoon 3s stage balance is just too painful sometimes and thats why i play 2 more often personally. I use sea snails for reroll if i really want the chunks from said gear that i have already full and use one shirt for chunk grinding (or a couple rather), im doing special saver+ special charge and some quick super jump just because its fun

I remember asking you in a stream what was the best way to get perfect gears, you didnt have a concrete answer back then, but here we are now!

JUST WHEN I NEEDED IT

Thanks for the info.

I needed a guideline like this. As much as I like variety on gear, sometimes you just need what works: overpowered stuff that only helps your self esteem a small hit before getting slammed by a Japanese lobby.

7:41 well actually using a drink ticket gives x1,5 gear exp points on top of increasing the odds for an ability, not sure if you mentioned it in the vid I might have missed it ^^;

Slight correction for the weapons at the start: Splash can use 1.7, 2.4, or 3.1 MPU for 33.3 damage. Of these, 2.4 is typically the most optimal because it both gives you room for a main-exclusive ability as well as all your value subs. For Bamboozler, 2.8 is technically a good amount, but 3.5 is usually a better idea because you can fit values along with a couple of subs of ISM.

I once ordered gear from someone and it came with a full set of special power up. It costed like 120000g but it was worth it. I recommend ordering gears from people that are full set with two stars as you can get those with the two sub abilities on the first two slot and you'll need only one sea snail and 30 ability chunks to have a full three star set.

Me when I actually play the game all day: *laughs in time

Oh? 2 days before splatoon 3 and absolutely no reason to farm ability chunks but I have nothing else to do? YES PLEASE VASKO!

Vasko: Alright open up your menu and check how much ability chunks you have. Me: *Bold of you to assume I even have said chunks*

Vasko The Chad Helping Me Grind Grind

Thank you very much

I mean, if you need some drinks you need salmon run boi

I ain't gonna lie, this was really useful

For those who want the grind method, here you go 3:00

Heres how it hopefully is like to get abilities on gear in splatoon 3: *gear levels up: nice! Your gear leveled up! Pick an ability to add to it! *pick any ability

Well im suprised i saw this video RIGHT AS I WAS IN A MATCH TO GRIND FOR PURES. yay!

This guy really said "then play a little squid game" I think I'm fine sir

Actually, if you are profreshional 400+ and can consistently pull 100+ golden eggs, then Salmon Run is a really good and fun way of getting fast chunks

Why are the little drawingings so cute

Lemme just say, your avatar/character is super cute, I love the way you drew her

This vid should have been called "Splatoon math"

ive watched this video over 70 times because i forgot if i watched it or not

This is perfect way to get bit more chunk

about to have a nice chunky snack

thumbnail is beautiful

When I try to click the video with my right hand finger, my left finger just presses. This shows how I want to watch your vids.

this will help me get 3 pures of main power up for my kensa octobrush. infinite speed, and a fast super to boot.

... yeeeeeeeah, I think I'm just gonna chill with the gear I have now HAHAHA 😂😂😂

i'm glad i'm not the only one that calls it squid game

Yes

Me: not understanding anything teachers says to me Me: watching this video understanding every single word

You can also pet pures from Salmon Run. It's incredibly unlikely, and you have no control over what ability said pure is for, but it is possible. I've only gotten 1 in 5 years of Salmon Run, and I regret scrubbing it. It would have been worth keeping for the pure (pun intended) novelty.

I like you funny words magic man.

I once ordered I think the punk boots and it pure ink saver main and when it came in it was pure and that's the only one I've ever gotten

For this rerolling tactic, I know it isn’t possible in Splatoon 2 that much anymore if you don’t have snails, but I’ll probably apply it to Splatoon 3

I personally go with play alot squid game… I’m use to grinding and training from playing Pokémon. I tried to get 3 stat gear but then decide mis and match for fun. For me I personally like use Rank, The outcome win, people are cutthroat win because all of the points outweigh the loss. Don’t use Salmon run because it RNG…

I just hope they improve this mechanic in the third game. If you have enough ability chunks you can basically go full main power up if you wanted. But in one case, lets say you had two subs on one piece of gear. obviously you'd use ability chunks to fill the last spot but it has to cost so much chunks compared to filling the first slot. Or at least give us the ability to scrub a single slot out of the three instead of all three.

Kpro and bamboozler users: nervously sweating

i just did this and rolled a perfect main power up through rerolling on one of my gear pieces haha like the third try

1 thing that is wrong is with the splatfest tee, you are able to get chunks past the 3rd slot.

important note for ordering gear: 1 star clothes always come with 1 slot unlocked and 2 star clothes with 2 slots unlocked, even if the person you orderd it from has 3 slots unlocked!

Salmon run would actually be an ok idea for people who are tight on money or drink tickets.

Full car quest gear

One way of getting tickets is either salmon run or if you’ve completed octo expansion the Vending machine

I don’t play splatoon but I’m here watching this a little confused but not bored

4:50 imma play salmon now just because you said not to

I love your videos and you taught me so much when I first started Splatoon, so can you make a video about how to get more drink tickets? Or if theres no point making a whole video, please just reply. Thanks, your awesome

Another option if you have way too much money is getting only the first slot on 1 star gear before scrubbing since that slot is faster to fill up. I wouldn't recommend this though since it's extremely expensive.

You have 10 more hours than you need on car quest, mr!

i think we can all agree that the worst thing when trying to get pure gear is when you're leveling a gear with the favored ability you want AND a drink that increases your chances, but it gives you some random ability you don't want-

It's time to get chunky 🤔 with the chunks

8:06 wow he appears in the square in my game!!

7:18 I got 2 gear from Grizzco Cuz I don’t play salmon run a lot but both came with 3 Chunks

Is Octo Expansion (vending machine) useful for chunks/drink ticket farming?

I usually just grind for having 3 of the same sub ability, and I scrubbed a shirt so much that kept getting 2 ink saver mains and a different third ability because I didn’t know you could just replace the third one with chunks, I thought the slot had to be empty! Well now I know I guess. On the bright side I am kind of close to thirty ink-saver main chunks since I think the navy-blue striped LS (I think that’s it’s name) has it as it’s

is a perfect way of getting pure abilities :)

I've gone through too much pain just to get full mpu way after splatoon 3 was announced

I’m really hoping in Splatoon 3 it’s a little easier to get sea snails. Honestly I think Salmon run is a good way to give them to players while being fair. Like everyone 2500 or so points gets you one sea snail. Not terribly difficult but not terribly easy either (maybe easy for others but I know for me it’s not gonna be salmon run is HARD)

5:39 Should be noted that these values are affected by your rank too - if you're X, you'll get about that much, a bit less for S+, less for S, even less for A+, and below is even lower but I'll assume most people actively playing aren't below A- idk

Playing around 2 weeks, really enjoying this game. But the sad part is that such an essential thing as super sea snails are that rare, haven't gotten to lvl 30 so still have 0

I'm surprised you said no salmon run, maybe I just play it too much but I have anywhere from 30 - 100 chunks for each ability and I mostly got them from grinding Salmon Run lmao

rng baby!

What if you drink the same ability as the one your gear favours? E.g. using sub saver drink + firefin gear (firefin favours sub saver).

This hurts my brain aaaaaa

I was wanting Ink resistance on my shoes then I got all 3 subs with ink resistance and it wasn't a favored ability soooooo... I GOT LUCKY!

I've gotten them all in almost every single ability. Thanks for the tips anyway. All of my Splatoon 2 friends on Amino asked how I got them. I reply Two words: Drink tickets. LOL

I remeber one time I orderd gear and got a pure the next day, but I didn't have enough money to buy it, so I grinded all day, so That i could buy it.

8:18 If you want the odds, it's 0.5% chance of getting all three slots filled. (30% 0, 60% 1, 9.5% 2)
