How To Get Ability Chunks In Splatoon 2
Okay, so you wanna talk Ability Chunks in Splatoon 2? Awesome! It's, like, the secret sauce to making your gear totally OP. Think of them as tiny little power-ups you can Frankenstein onto your clothes. We've all been there, staring longingly at that perfect piece of gear, just wishing it had the abilities you want, right? Well, chunks are your answer. So, grab your coffee (or juice box, no judgement), and let's dive in.
Splatoon 2 Ability Chunks: Your Quest Begins
First things first: what are these magical chunks? They're basically fragments of abilities. Collect enough of the same kind, and bam! You can add that ability to a piece of gear. Pretty sweet deal, huh?
There are a few key ways to snag these beauties:
Must Read
Option 1: Scrapping Gear - A Sad, But Necessary Evil
This is probably the most common method. See that gear you're not using? The one collecting dust in your inventory? Sacrifice it to the Chunk Gods! Okay, maybe it's not that dramatic. Just head to Murch (that spiky-haired dude chilling in Inkopolis Square), and he'll let you scrub the gear. BOOM! Ability chunks. The number of chunks you get depends on how many abilities the gear already had. Think of it as recycling, but for fashion-forward squids.
Important Note: Gear with more abilities equals more chunks when you scrub it. So, the more a piece of gear levels up and gains abilities, the better!
Option 2: Spyke’s Deals (When He Decides to Show Up)
Remember that shady sea urchin, Spyke, from Splatoon 1? He's back(ish)! Actually, more like his spirit lives on in Murch. Sometimes, Murch will offer gear with specific abilities attached. If you don't want the gear itself, buy it and scrub it. Instant chunks! Keep checking back, though, his stock rotates and you need to be online for it!
This can be a bit pricey, but hey, sometimes you gotta spend money to make money (or, in this case, spend cash to get chunks). Plus, you might find something you actually WANT to wear in the process. Bonus!
Option 3: Salmon Run - Chunks with a Side of Salmon
Salmon Run, that chaotic wave-based survival mode? Turns out, it's a decent source of ability chunks too! As you earn rewards, you'll sometimes get gear with abilities. Scrub that gear, and you guessed it: CHUNKS!
Plus, Salmon Run is just plain fun. Who doesn't love splatting Salmonids with their friends (or, you know, random squids online)? It's a win-win!
Option 4: Splatfest Tees - Temporary Fashion, Permanent Chunks
Ah, Splatfests. Those glorious weekends of ink-splatting mayhem! You get a special Splatfest Tee to wear, which levels up and gains abilities. Once the Splatfest is over, you can scrub that tee for chunks. Just remember to play a LOT during the Splatfest to max out those abilities! It's a limited-time opportunity, so make the most of it!
Pro Tip: Use drink tickets during Splatfests to boost your experience gain and level up your tee faster! More levels = more abilities = more chunks!
Okay, I Got Chunks... Now What?
So, you've got a pocket full of chunks. Now what do you do with 'em? Head back to Murch, and he'll let you add abilities to your gear. You'll need a certain number of chunks of the same type to add an ability, so start saving up! This is where the real customization begins. Experiment, create your perfect loadout, and dominate the Turf War battlefield!
One last thing: Remember to be patient! Collecting chunks can take time, but the payoff is totally worth it. So keep playing, keep scrubbing, and keep splatting! You'll be swimming in chunks before you know it. Happy chunk hunting!
