Guide – All headgear, clothing, and shoes in Splatoon 3

You can’t jump into a Turf War without some styling threads! Splatoon 3 is here and that means there’s a whole new wardrobe for Inkling and Octolings to collect. Don’t worry, some gear from the previous Splatoon and Splatoon 2 have made the journey to Splatoon 3, but there are also plenty of new items.

Gear is still split into three categories: headgear, clothing, and shoes. Each piece will have a main ability to help you in battle as well as up to 3 secondary ability slots (also called sub abilities). Each item’s main ability can’t be changed (in most cases – SplatNet 3 may offer items with different main abilities, like in Splatoon 2 with SplatNet 2, and/or Salmon Run’s gear having multiple payout versions), whereas it is an RNG free-for-all with the secondary abilities (these can be altered via Murch with the use of chunks).

To add gear to your collection and battle build-out repertoire, you’ll be shopping once again. There are three main shops where you’ll get your gear and you must reach Level 4 before being allowed in. Each is dedicated to a particular set (headgear, clothing, or shoes). They are:

 

 

• Headgear: Naut Couture (run by Gnarly Eddy and Nails)
• Clothing: Man-o’-Wardrobe (organized by the esteemed and fashionable Jel La Fleur)
• Shoes: Crush Station (manned by Mr. Coco)

 

Purchasing gear from these stores will require Cash (those gold-looking coins referred to as “G” in some Sunken Scrolls). Inventory from these shops changes daily at 5 p.m. PT | 8 p.m. ET (instead of midnight your time like in Splatoon 2). You’ll also be able to find gear for sale (at a higher price) via the Nintendo Switch Online mobile app’s SplatNet 3. You can also buy gear from players you’ve played with or against in multiplayer. There are some limitations though, as your order will be delivered the next day, can only order up to three pieces of gear in advance, and might have to pay a higher price thanks to Murch.

Note: Gear you already own may appear in stock at Naut Couture, Man-o’-Wardrobe, and Crush Station. If that particular piece of gear doesn’t have 3 secondary slots, you can add an additional slot. This is also true for increasing the item’s star rank. The prices are as follows:

• First repurchase: 10,000 Cash
• Second repurchase: 30,000 Cash
• Third repurchase: 50,000 Cash
• Fourth repurchase: 100,000 Cash
• Fifth repurchase: 200,000 Cash

You can only purchase one slot upgrade at a time/store restock (can’t go from 1 secondary slot to all 3 in a day – same is true for star rank). You can also trade in gear, for a fee and it’ll revert to its original number of secondary slots, original main ability, and starting star rank.

 

 

You can also increase a gear’s star power and secondary ability slots with Super Sea Snails obtained from participating in Splatfests. These will be distributed after Splatfest results have been posted. To use these Super Sea Snails, go to Murch (who resides just outside of the Lobby building in Splatsville).

For Splatoon 3, there’s also a brand new shop – Hotlantis. While Harmony mainly deals in selling goods to decorate your locker with, she’ll also hand out a seasonal catalog. These catalogs will reward players with Splashtags, gear, emotes, titles, and more. Gear that’s listed as a catalog reward has also been spotted on SplatNet 3 and has a base price, so they might also pop up in clothing stores (but might be limited to adding on secondary ability slots or trading it in).

 

Note: Catalog Gear appears in stores after you’ve unlocked it via the catalog OR buying it off of another player and paying Murch’s delivery/finder’s fee. Select items cannot be purchased from other players until you’ve obtained the item from the catalog (these are listed under the tables of each gear section).

 

 

Gear can be obtained in other ways too – specifically with amiibo, promotional releases (i.e.: if copying Splatoon 2, then via My Nintendo rewards, released via the Splatoon 3 Channel on Nintendo Switch, etc.), story progression, and Salmon Run.

• amiibo: Splatoon amiibo, when scanned, will give out specific gear. These pieces can only be obtained via amiibo and cannot be ordered from another player. Check out our amiibo guide to see it in action.
• Promotional releases: Generally, these items are exclusive to a promotion. They typically require a one-time-use code, booting up Splatoon 3 via a particular post on the Splatoon 3 Channel on the Nintendo Switch, scanning a QR Code with SplatNet 3, etc. As for if they can be ordered from another player, we’ll have to wait for the first set of gear to be released. (Typically no, but some seasonal sets released in Splatoon 2 via the Splatoon 2 Channel could be ordered and also appeared in SplatNet 2.)
  • The examples given are based on distribution methods for Splatoon 2.
• Story: Gear specific to certain characters and/or specifically made for Splatoon 3’s Story Mode can only be obtained by completing the necessary levels. These cannot be ordered from another player.
• Salmon Run:
  • Mr. Grizz is ready to pay you in Grizzco Points again. You’ll be able to exchange these for capsules and if you earn enough points you’ll get a piece of gear too!
  • Your Grizzco uniform is available in different varieties now! They require Fish Scales (which are obtained from Xtrawave rounds with King Salmonids) and can only be purchased at Grizzco’s company store. You won’t be able to order these off of another player as they’re limited to being worn only in Salmon Run. Pity.

 

Notes:

• Some data (prices, clothing brands, number of sub-ability slots, etc.) may be incomplete due to recent seasonal releases. They’ll be updated accordingly over the next few days/weeks.
• Gear obtained from Splatoon 3’s Story Mode is listed.
• Headgear items from upcoming Grizzco payouts have been found in the game’s data and are included.
• It has also been discovered that some gear is currently planned to be a future season catalog reward item.
