Grizzco is so different from other modes that is essentially its own game. Grizzco (or Salmon Run) has no enemy team but instead has salmon enemies that you and your team must defeat. There are many enemies, and each has its way of defeating. There are also mini-bosses that you must defeat to collect their golden eggs. Once you have, you throw them into a basket. You must have a certain amount of golden eggs by the end of the game, otherwise you fail. There is only one sub weapon that every weapon has, that being a Splat Bomb. Everybody gets 2 specials as well, but they are all randomized. These specials include Booyah Bomb, Wave Breaker, Killer Wail 5.1, Inkjet, Crab Tank, Reefslider, Triple Inkstrike, Kraken Royale, and Triple Splashdown. After a few games of salmon run, you may encounter a King Salmonid, which are hard bosses that take your team's entire coordination to defeat. King Salmonid waves give you one special, no matter how many you had before the third round ended. Instead of throwing any eggs you receive from bosses into a basket, you throw them at the King Salmonid, which does extra damage to it. Some Kings have weak spots, so aim at those with the power eggs. There are also events in Salmon Run, including Big Run and Eggstra Work. Big Run is essentially a Splatfest for Grizzco. But the unique part about it is that you can play on normal turf war maps in Grizzco, and all weapons are randomized. Eggstra work on the other hand is a more difficult run. It has 5 waves, each getting increasingly harder. Your goal is to collect as many eggs as possible, and finishing the run isn't a requirement.
Smallfries are extremely quick, but are weak and don't do much damage. Alone, they are easy to kill. But in groups, they suck to deal with. Also, they don't drop Gold Eggs. Make sure that you can see them, and take them out.

Chums are a big pain. They also spawn in decent sized hoards, and like to combo off of other enemies. Make sure there isn't too many of them, or else they could become a challenge to remove.

The Cohawk Is basically a giant chum with more HP and deals more damage. To keep things balanced, they spawn in small hoards but are a huge pain to deal with because they can 2-shot you. Corners are your enemy, so stay away. Also, ledges can be a death sentence around these guys.

Steel heads are the first of many bosses. At first, he is completely invincible to all attacks. But when he does his attack, he can take damage. His attack has an inflatable sack on his head to puff up, and he then throws it at you, which then explodes after a few seconds. If you shoot the sack as it inflates, it will create a massive explosion of your ink and can kill enemies nearby.
-Max
Flyshish are just tenta missles. It's main form of attack opens up dumpster lids and shoots missles at mostly everybody. To defeat it, wait for the lids to open, and then throw a bomb in each dumpster.
-Max
Maws aren't much of a challenge to defeat and are free eggs. When a maws is chasing you, it appears as a fishing lure on the ground. If you walk over the lure, it waits a second, and then jumps out of the ink and tries to eat you. If you are caught, then you will be eaten alive in one hit. If you time it right, then you can throw a bomb into its mouth, and will kill it in one hit.
-Max
Steel Eels can be a pain to deal with, due to how they are supposed to block exits and target one person specifically. This thing is just a living wall, but the wall hurts to be near. to kill it, go to the back and shoot the salmon until it dies.
-Max
Drizzlers are fun but tedious to kill. It hides under a metal umbrella, and loads up a gun on top. The gun looks around a few times, before firing out a balloon that if isn't shot at, causes an ink storm. If you do shoot at it, then the balloon will be launched in the direction it was aimed at, and can be used to kill the Drizzler. or, after it fires the balloon it gets stuck on top of its umbrella for a few seconds, allowing you to kill it by shooting.
-Max
Scrapper requires little skill to defeat. Scrappers drive across the ground as if it is in a car. If it hits you, you will take some damage. Shooting at the machine causes it to temporarily break down, allowing you to go to the back of it and shoot at its body to then kill it.
-Max
Stinger is just a living Sting Ray, but you can kill it. Stingers are an enormous stack of pots, with the salmonid on top, controlling it. You can kill it by shooting at each pan until the salmon is defeated.
-Max
Big shot is a living wave breaker. When it spawns in, a cannon appears alongside the shore it spawns in. The Big Shot spawns in with a metal ball, which he loads into the cannon and fires near the egg basket. When the ball hits the ground, it causes a wave to fire out of, similar to wave breaker. The ball will hit the ground one more time, and releases another wave. In order to kill it, shoot it once it spawns in.
-Max
Flipper-Floppers are also just free eggs. When it spawns in, it throws an ink ring onto the ground, which then makes a circle of turf. After staring at it for a few seconds, it dives into the ink and pops out to fire another ring. In order to kill it, cover the circle with turf, so it dives into your ink, and breaks it helmet, leaving it vulnerable for hits.
-Max
Fish Sticks are pretty easy to defeat, and don't put up much of a challenge. When it spawns, it flies in from the sky and drills a metal pole into the ground. After this, the salmon begin spinning and spewing ink all over the ground. Just think of them as the turf coverer of salmonoids. To defeat a Fish Stick, cover the tower in ink so you can swim up it, and shoot down all of the smallfries.
-Max
Goldies are the first of 4 rare occurrence enemies. They can spawn during special events and can do many different things. sometimes, they do nothing but run. Other times they are extremely fast and attack you. But one thing they all have in common is that they have a lot of health and drop a LOT of eggs.
-Max
Grillers are a rare occurrence but are pretty simple. they target the person that they have their laser set to, and won't stop until they die. Grillers can also one shot, so be aware. Their main form of attack is running into you and can cause a wipeout easily. To kill it, wait until its back is facing you, and shoot at its tail until the lid opens, and shows all of the salmon inside that you can also shoot at. Once defeated it will drop 5 eggs.
-Max
Chinooks come out of the mothership as a rare occurrence, and place down summoning boxes that have enemies pour out. Killing the Chinook will destroy the box and have it drop an egg. twice within the time limit, the mothership will attach itself to the egg basket and slowly steal eggs. Shooting at it will cause it to retreat and wait until the next time.
-Max
Mudmouths are a rare occurrence and have tons of enemies spawn out of their mouths. It has no other ways of defending itself, so you can throw a few bombs into its mouth, and will eventually kill it.
-Max
Megaladontia is the first of 3 king salmonids. They act similarly to Maws but are almost the same size as the map. Once they pop out of the ground, you can shoot at its weak spot, which is a pink bump on its back. Also, defeating bosses on a king salmonid fight will still drop eggs, but now you can throw them at the king and do tons of damage. Megaladontia only has one attack, and that is the chomp.
-Max
Cohozuna is the only boss that doesn't have a weak spot, and you just shoot and throw eggs at it. It has two attacks, one being a jumping bellyflop, and another being tipping over for close-range attacks. Be aware of its noticeable speed, and make sure you land your egg shots.
-Max
Horroboros flies around in the sky and charges an explosive comparable to a booyah bomb in its mouth. Its only attack is charging the bomb and then firing it at you. Shooting the bomb will eventually cause it to explode while in its mouth, and do a ton of damage.
-Max
Triumvirates are uncommon boss fights where all king salmonids appear at the same time. This boss is very, very hard to beat, all of the king salmonids have the same amount of health as usual. Mr. Grizz does give you two extra specials to use instead of the usual one.
