Power Egg



Power Eggs are a type of collectible currency in ' s single-player mode, Octo Valley, and in Octo Canyon and Salmon Run in.

In Splatoon
Power Eggs are small, orange orbs that appear similar to fish eggs. They can be found on all Octo Valley missions, usually placed in a way to show where the player should go to progress. They can be collected by directly touching them or hitting them with ink. When inked or touched, they will fly towards the player and disappear on contact. Although they are often found in the open, they may also be hidden in crates, balloons, or Octarians. Power Eggs can be used to upgrade the Hero Shot, Ink Tank, and Splat Bombs, as well as unlock and upgrade the Burst Bomb and Seeker Sub Weapons. The Power Eggs do not have any use in multiplayer modes.

Upgrades
Power Eggs can be spent to upgrade the player's Hero Equipment. Upgrading the gear also changes the colour of the lights on it.

Upgrading the Hero Shot increases its rate of fire while upgrading the Ink Tank increases its capacity and upgrading the bombs increases their blast radius.

Any upgrades purchased do not affect any of the amiibo challenges.

In Splatoon 2
Power Eggs, retaining their appearance from Splatoon, are found in the game's single-player campaign, as well as in Salmon Run, and are collectible in the same manner as in Splatoon.

Octo Canyon
Power Eggs function the same way as in Splatoon, their main usage being upgrading the player's Hero Shot and Ink Tank, unlocking Curling Bombs and Autobombs, as well as upgrading the other Hero Weapons that Sheldon makes available at the Ammo Knights Enhancifier.

Once everything is unlocked and upgraded, they can also be traded in for food tickets that can be used at the Crust Bucket.

Salmon Run
Power Eggs can be found by defeating smaller Salmonid enemies, such as Chum, Smallfries and Cohocks. Power Eggs collected during shifts do not transfer over to Octo Canyon, although they will get added to the player's Grizzco Point Card for rewards.

In Octo Expansion
Power Eggs can be collected by splatting enemies, or by finding them in the open and then shooting or touching them, similar to in Octo Canyon and Octo Valley. When collected, the player immediately receives CQ points, which are then stored on the CQ card. CQ points can also be gathered by clearing tests and unlocking new lines, among other methods. CQ points are required when entering or retrying tests.
