How to Use REEF LUX 450 Effectively

Focus on inking instead of fighting. Jump and shoot for an insta-splat. Use the Tenta Missiles when enemies are grouped together.

Better to focus on painting areas with ink than fighting due to its great inking potential.

When there are no enemy Inklings in the area, use this time to coat areas with ink especially the zones near your spawn. This will provide support for your allies who have weapons with higher combat potential.

It is easier to land shots when you are jumping while attacking.

Shooting while on the ground unleashes three ink shots horizontally. If you are facing a single enemy, make sure to jump and shoot while in the air. This will force the weapon to fire all the shots vertically instead. If you manage to hit all shots directly, this will result in an insta-splat!

Use the Tenta Missiles in crowded areas to fully utilize the auto aim feature of the special weapon.

The REEF LUX 450 is a slightly more complex to use than most weapons in terms of aiming, you can compensate for this by using the Tenta Missiles to easily target and attack multiple enemies at once.
