Finding the Hidden Radio in Splatoon Raiders Lets You Team Up With Friends Online
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Splatoon Raiders features hidden online multiplayer accessible through a radio on the ship base, scaling up the challenge when you play with friends.
Nintendo is positioning Splatoon Raiders primarily as a single-player adventure, but the game actually includes a fully functional cooperative multiplayer mode. The catch is that the game never explains how to access it. Players who want to group up will need to finish the opening missions and locate a specific radio resting in the corner of the main team ship base. Interacting with that unassuming piece of gear is the key to kicking off a session.
Once you interact with the radio, the system prompts you to set an online nickname and lets you choose between online and local wireless options. Keep in mind that local wireless still requires separate hardware, as the game does not support split-screen play. If you choose the online route, you can easily pull in players from your console friend list or spin up a private room protected by a password for your squad.
Playing with friends changes more than just the social dynamic, as the game scales its difficulty dynamically when you form a party. Expect denser enemy waves and a much more chaotic run during your raids. For the full breakdown on navigating the setup process, you can read the original guide over at Polygon.
