Level



Levels, also referred to in-game as Freshness, are progress indicators in Splatoon as well as rank. Levels currently go from 1 to 20. The August 6th update raised the maximum level to Level 50.

Leveling up
Levels  are earned by playing any multiplayer mode. The amount of points received after a match go towards your level. Each level will require more points than the last, resetting each time you level up. Levels unlock new weapons from Sheldon, as well as better gear and features.

On levels 20-50, leveling works like Splatfest ranks. In Regular battles, you earn 3 level-up points if you win and extra points depending on how much turf you inked: 1 point for 200p of turf, 2 points for 400p of turf. In Ranked, you earn 1 point for each minute the match lasts, plus 3 points for a win by timeout. If you win by knockout, you get 10 points total. You still earn the "normal" type of points for cash and gear XP.
