Though *Splatoon Raiders* is marketed as a single-player adventure, it offers a multiplayer mode that lets players join forces with friends. However, the game doesn’t explicitly guide you through the process, leaving many players in the dark. Here’s a clear breakdown of how to engage in multiplayer sessions, both locally and online.
Getting Started with Multiplayer
After completing the introductory missions in *Splatoon Raiders*, players gain access to their team’s ship base. Located at the far end of the platform, opposite the treasure bot, is a radio that serves as your gateway to multiplayer. Interacting with this radio initiates the multiplayer setup.
Choosing Your Nickname
Upon your first interaction with the radio, the game prompts you to select a nickname for online play. This name defaults to the one associated with your Switch 2 account, but you can customize it, provided it adheres to Nintendo’s online terms of service.
Multiplayer Options Explained
When setting up your game, you can choose between online wireless and local wireless options. However, it’s crucial to note that local wireless does not support split-screen play. If you want to play with friends nearby, each player will need their own console and a copy of *Splatoon Raiders*.
Team Dynamics and Gameplay Adjustments
Opting for online wireless allows you to join a room created by another player, add friends from your console’s friend list, or create your own room with a password for others to join. It’s worth mentioning that when playing in a party, the game adjusts its difficulty, introducing more enemies and amplifying the chaos during raids.
