  Considering we have things like thermal ink, it feels weird that they removed bomb sniffer

  Seeing the Hammerhead footage at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJs_ox1_MU8&amp;t=222">3:42</a> I thought, &quot;Wow Hammerhead was cool, they should bring it back.&quot; And then I remembered.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJs_ox1_MU8&amp;t=1043">17:23</a> to this day i can&apos;t wrap my head around why the splatoon 2 devs decided bringing splatoon 1&apos;s most infamous ability back for most weapons was a good idea.

  Honestly, I am so glad that straight damage buffs have not made it to Splatoon 3. The closest thing we have to a straight damage buff to weapons is Special Power Up, Sub Power Up and Object Shredder. Those effect certain aspects of how the weapon&apos;s kit deals damage, but they never directly buff the weapon&apos;s damage.

  I imagine bomb range up, being favored by Enperry had they existed in Splatoon 1.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJs_ox1_MU8&amp;t=697">11:37</a> I miss Recon. I would always sneak around the enemy team, and (after dying and having to sneak over again) knowing if the enemy team was clumped up or moving in a certain direction was often enough information to plan out the next sneak attack. I didnt miss the gear slot outside of spawn, since aiming at their back was going to guarantee me the kill anyways. <s>sighs</s> You can still make educated guesses by looking at ink trails, and Haunt helps a bit, but I still miss the Splatoon 1 days. And the Splatoon 1 maps, oh god.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJs_ox1_MU8&amp;t=711">11:51</a> I&apos;m guessing recon would be much more useful in comp or just playing with a team in general cuz it allows to callout enemy locations, flanks etc to ur teammates

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJs_ox1_MU8&amp;t=907">15:07</a> How this reads to me is that the 40% and 20% values they list here are with no Damage Up or Defence Up taken into consideration, not that they aren&apos;t factored in by the game itself.
