Has Rainmaker Ranked Mode Changed in Splatoon 3?

The quick answer to that query is a resounding yes. In the new Rainmaker Ranked Mode in Splatoon 3, games will no longer end that quickly as players must now carry the Rainmaker to a checkpoint before they can head to the end point.

Each game will have two different checkpoints about halfway to the end point with clear markers indicating where they are. If a player plants the Rainmaker on a checkpoint, the checkpoint will lower and another will pop up closer to the final goal. The shield will reform, and either team can then break the shield and take the Rainmaker.

To keep players updated, when the Rainmaker is held, there is a new UI element showing which player has it in your special gauge as well as the squid UI at the top of the screen, so keep a look out.
