About Salmon Run
Salmon Run is a new co-op mode where players need to collect Power Eggs and Golden Eggs by eliminating Chums. To complete the mission, Inklings must bring a certain amount of Golden Eggs to a goal until the flag in their base is all the way up.
The Inklings that will try to gather Power Eggs and Golden Eggs will be equipped with a special gear that is exclusive to the Salmon Run mode. Although it is not quite clear what this new gear will do in the match, it is said that this will allow the players to maneuver easier around the area.
The location where players compete in the Salmon Run is quite far away from the main hub/location which is Octo Canyon. Inklings are placed in pieces of industrial-looking platforms surrounded by water and several boats.

Chums and Steelheads
In addition, the enemies in the game called Chums are mutated salmon-like creatures that wields regular items such as frying pans and uses them as a weapon to fight against you and your team. Chums vary in sizes as some will be small and some will be large, which also indicates how much damage they can take before they are eliminated.
There is also a boss that will appear during a certain time in the game called the Steelhead, which is a Chum wearing a rubber suit with metal parts around it. This boss does not wield a frying pan, instead it has a bag-like weapon at the top of its head that fills up over time. Once the bag is in its maximum capacity, the Steelhead will throw it at a nearby Inklings location.
This bag will not explode right away and the Inkling/s will have at least two seconds to run away from the bag before it explodes.
More information about this new mode will be released in the future, so stay tuned for our updates.
