Badge



In, a variety of badges can be earned through achievements and playing the game, and up to three of them can be displayed at once on the bottom-right corner of a player's Splashtag.

Badges are awarded for fulfilling certain criteria such as getting 50 Turf War wins, earning 10,000 Grizzco points, and defeating DJ Octavio in Return of the Mammalians. Some badges have multiple tiers, such as 4- and 5-star Freshness on the main weapon. Some Splatfest-related achievements, such as reaching Ruler rank, also reward badges.

Lists of badges
There are currently badges as of version, and the following tables of badges are arranged in the order that they appear in the Splashtag menu. The only exception to this is the Weapon Freshness tables for shooters and blasters, where in the ingame menu, the blasters are displayed between the badges for the Annaki Splattershot Nova and the L-3 Nozzlenose.

Weapon Freshness badges
These badges are obtained for raising a main weapon's Freshness to 4 and 5 stars respectively.

Special weapon wins
If a player wins a match while using a special weapon at least once for a specific number of times, they obtain normal, silver and gold badges.

Trivia

 * The badges depicting the Squid Sisters and Deep Cut are the only ones who share an unlock requirement each.
 * In a promotional image for badges, the player has 5★ weapon badges for weapons they don't have the 4★ badge in, which is impossible as a 5★ badge's requirement is an extension of the 4★ badge's.
 * As of Version 2.0.0, it is possible to obtain all 4 badges relating to Tricolor Battles during a single Splatfest, as players are not locked to be attackers or defenders.
 * In Version 3.0.0, the 4★ and 5★ Splash-o-matic, Sploosh-o-matic, Rapid Blaster, and Rapid Blaster Pro badges were graphically updated, with tweaks made to the weapons' coloring.
 * During Fresh Season 2023, the base-level Z+F badge could technically be obtained for free as the catalog during the season only included gear from Z+F, with the total star value equating more than 30 stars, the amount of stars needed to get a brand badge.
