Hiding as a Ninja Squid

I'm playing as a ninja squid, but for some reason some people still see me while hiding in ink.

Is it possible to see a ninja squid hiding with normal weapons?


Solution 1:

Ninja Squid means opponents cannot see your squid's movement or surface ripple in your own ink. However there are several things that bypass this:

  • Getting hit by a weapon will give your opponent a very noticeable sound and screen effect, alerting them to your location
  • Accidentally moving into enemy ink
  • Any sort of effect that reveals your location, such as with a Point Sensor or Thermal Ink (indicated by a dark grey transparent squid circling around you)
  • Swimming up walls (thanks @LyricsBot)
  • Popping up out of the ink for any reason, such as leaping up after going up a ramp
  • Your opponent just guessing and getting lucky
