Hammerhead Bridge Tips and Best Spots

Hammerhead Bridge Tips
Secure the central area. Don't forget to ink the sides. Super Jump to teammates.

Secure the Central Area

The central area of the stage is the only path to the enemy's base so it is important for your team to secure it. There is a single block in the area that you can use as a hiding spot but if you're using a long-ranged weapon, we suggest splatting enemies from the grates near the entrance of your base.

Once the area is secured, your team can continue forward and start inking the enemy's base. When in a pich, you can retreat safely knowing that the central area is covered in your team's ink

Don't Forget to Ink the Sides

The two areas beside the central part of the stage is a good place to ambush enemies so don't forget to ink them too! Remember that enemies can ambush you this way as well so watch out for surprise attacks from your opponents.

Super Jump to Teammates

Since the map is big, it will take you time to travel from your team's base to areas that are farther away.

Because of this, we recommend doing a Super Jump to a teammate every time you respawn so you can get back to inking turf right away!

How to Super Jump Effectively

Hammerhead Bridge Best Weapons

Rollers, Curling Bombs, and Reefsliders

Main	Sub	Special	Lv. Required
Splat Roller	Curling Bomb	Big Bubbler	2
Aerospray MG	Fizzy Bomb	Reefslider	5
Carbon Roller	Autobomb	Zipcaster	6
Sploosh-o-matic	Curling Bomb	Ultra Stamp	9
Dynamo Roller	Sprinkler	Tacticooler	12
Dark Tetra Dualies	Autobomb	Reefslider	17
Flingza Roller	Ink Mine	Tenta Missiles	20

The Reefslider is great for this stage because of its ability to charge forward and ink turf while splatting enemies on its way. With this special weapon, you can easily enter the enemy's base and have a good headstart because of the explosion the Reefslider will make.

If you're not really feeling the Reefslider, you can opt for the curling bomb instead.

Rollers are also a good choice because of their amazing inking potential. There are many horizontal spaces to cover in this stage and everyone knows rollers are just great for this kind of job!
