Catalog

"Earn Catalog Points in battle or on the job to get your hands on inkredible items!"

The catalog is an item in that can be obtained from Harmony at Hotlantis. It allows the player to unlock various seasonal rewards, primarily for customization.

Description
The catalog is a free in-game seasonal collection of rewards the player can unlock through accumulating points in-game. It can be received from Hotlantis upon reaching level 4. Catalog rewards include exclusive emotes, gear, locker room items, and Splashtag banners, titles, and badges, as well as food tickets and ability chunks. Its structure can be compared to the battle pass system of similar games.

Catalog Points
With a catalog, the player can accumulate Catalog Points to increase its level. Each level requires 9,500 Catalog Points. When the player earns experience from online battles and job shifts in Salmon Run Next Wave, they receive the same amount in Catalog Points too. (Note that any food ticket multiplier does not count toward catalog points, however.) They can also earn Catalog Points through achievements.

Some actions can lead to earning bonus Catalog Points. Winning a battle such as a Turf War or completing a shift in Salmon Run Next Wave for the first time in a day will award 7,500 Catalog Points.

If the player raises their catalog level during a Splatfest Sneak Peek, they receive a conch shell to spend on the Shell-Out Machine. Catalog Points received after Splatfest Battles or Big Run are multiplied by 1.2×.

Seasonal catalogs
Following Splatoon 3 launch, a new catalog is distributed every three months for two years. In the Splatoon 3 Nintendo Direct, each planned catalog is labeled after a season and year. New weapons plan to be added to the game in updates around the same time as catalogs.

Some of the catalog gear must first be unlocked through leveling up the appropriate catalog. The other pieces of gear can be obtained through Shops beforehand, in which case reaching the catalog level that would give the gear instead gives the player the gear's cost in Cash.

Trivia

 * As of Version 3.0.0, it is now possible to obtain any unobtained titles, banners, decorations, badges, or emotes from previous seasons' catalogs in the Shell-Out Machine.
 * Despite being introduced in the 3.0.0 update a day before the end of Chill Season 2022, the Catalog Closeout Bonus wasn't active during this time.
