The Reef is a multiplayer stage in Splatoon 2.

Description[]

It is a plaza located a short distance away from Inkopolis Square. The area is a popular destination when not being the battleground for a Turf War. The Reef contains several different types of shops in the city of Inkopolis.

Layout[]

The Reef features many wide-open areas with separate high and low levels. This creates many flanking paths around many of its key areas. The spawn point is not accessible to the enemy team and includes a path which allows easy access to the sides of the map. Dropping from the base is a small square raised area that leads into the main area of the stage. Notably, there is a stone bridge at the center of the stage which acts as a straight path into the enemy area. The stage also contains a large grass lot below the bridge, with a tree and a block as obstacles. The area directly underneath the bridge indents downwards and contains inkable turf.

Notable Locations[]

  • Bridge - The main area at mid. Can be used to cross from base to base.
  • Below the bridge - An area that can be easily controlled in Turf War. A sprinkler can be placed on the underside of the bridge to help control turf, especially in the Splat Zones mode.

Ranked Battle[]

  • Splat Zones - The splat zones in this map are located beneath the middle bridge of the map. One useful tactic to take control of the zones is to ink the area from the bridge right above it.
  • Tower Control - The tower's initial location is below the center bridge. The tower will move towards the tree on either side to get to the first checkpoint, which is right next to the tree. The second checkpoint is on the other side of the tree, and is reached after passing the opposing team's side path. After that, the tower will continue its path up the ramp, where the third checkpoint is further in. Once the third checkpoint is cleared, the tower will ascend up to the next level of the map, where the finish point is located.
  • Rainmaker - The Rainmaker spawns on top of the bridge in the middle of the map. The goals are located a layer below each spawn point.
  • Clam Blitz - Clam baskets are located directly in front of the parked cars on the same layer.

Hazards[]

  • Water at 2 sides of the stage.
  • If not careful, you could be jumped by enemies from below the bridge at mid.

Trivia[]

  • This was the first stage that was announced for Splatoon 2 and was officially revealed during the Nintendo Switch event in January 2017.
  • The map was released in the initial release of Splatoon 2 on the game's release date of July 21, 2017.
