Search and Destroy
Search and Destroy is another trademark shooter mode, featured in Call of Duty, Battefield, and numerous other titles. As such, it seems like Splatoon 2 should implement some kind of mode like this, and there’s a perfect item to put as the objective – the Zapfish. These electric little creatures are the main objectives in Splatoon’s story mode, and they’re surrounded by a protective barrier that you have to ink and explode. This could be taken one step further by significantly upping the creature’s shields, and making the Zapfish a kind of bomb that an attacking team has to attack and capture.
The best way to put a Splatoon spin on this would be for the Zapfish to move around the map constantly, inking areas as it goes. This would create a more mobile game that has both teams darting around the battlefield, while adding another variable into inking turf with the Zapfish. Another alternative on this mode would be a Zapfish that one team member could pick up and move, but like the Rainmaker it would alter their ability to move and shoot. Either direction you go with Splatoon 2, there’s some real potential for a Search and Destroy type mode.
