Talk:Medal

#1 (special) user
Could the fifteen rows of the medal table dedicated to different special weapons be condensed to "#1 User", with clarification that a unique award exists for every special weapon in the game? 03:58, 20 September 2022 (UTC)


 * I support this idea, but at the moment I am unsure of how word such a change to be both clear and concise. Squidkitt (talk) 07:58, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Medals compared to other teams
If #1 Overall Splatter is still restricted to just your team, then what is the difference between that and #1 Enemy Splatter? Rembi (talk) 16:56, 21 September 2022 (UTC)


 * The page says that Overall includes assists and Enemy does not. Lyichir (talk) 17:25, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

Splat Zone Hero
I believe the Splat Zone Hero medal is awarded when you are the one to take zone in overtime. These are the conditions under which I've earned it. Fizzybombz (talk) 07:25, 23 September 2022 (UTC)


 * I don't think that is the case as I earned it in a match where my team never had control of the zone. Perhaps it is awarded for spending the most time standing in the zone? Squidkitt (talk) 07:56, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
 * My current belief is that it's rewarded to the player that captured the zone the most times. It falls in line with similar medals at any rate. MissingNumbers (talk) 07:18, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * According to leanny.github.io, Splat Zone Hero is for retaking the most turf within the zones while your team is in control . Perhaps it refers to being in control of that specific zone, and not necessarily in control of all zones. Andrio Celos (talk) 23:00, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

Popular Target
After some testing, I have a theory that Popular Target is based on how long players have their reticles on you for the duration of the match. I was only able to test this in a 1v2 environment, but I would recommend experimenting with this theory with more players. MissingNumbers (talk) 17:16, 5 October 2022 (UTC)


 * https://leanny.github.io/splat3/medals.html This dataminer has uncovered the medals recently. Popular Target just uses the opponents 'Field of View', it doesn't matter how far away they are. Durygathn (talk) 11:26, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

#1 Enemy Splatter bug/requirement change ?
I found that, in a Turf War game, I got #1 Enemy Splatter despite having one less splat than the highest amount of splats on my team and the highest amount of splats on the opposing team. May be a bug, but could an update have changed the requirements for this medal? Lykl (talk) Lykl (talk) 16:26, 25 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Did you check SplatNet? The in-game numbers do not show assists. The person on your team with a higher number than you might have gotten enough assists to make their actual splat count lower than yours. The opposing team's numbers aren't taken into consideration.  16:52, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
 * #1 Enemy splatter only counts splats, not assists, while the in-game results screen shows splats and assists combined. Therefore, your teammate must've gotten less actual splats than you, but the amount of assists that they got, when combined with their amount of splats, was greater than the amount of splats+assists that you got.  17:15, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

Awards or Medals
In the game files, "Medals" are referred to as awards, should "Medals" be changed to "Awards" instead? I don't see anything stating the official names of the awards anyway, unless i'm missing something. 18:51, 25 October 2023 (UTC)


 * They're undoubtedly referred to as "medals" in-game, including when viewing match results in the lobby ("Medals Won") and the tutorial manual on Anarchy Battles ("[...]you'll earn Rank Points based on your wins and any medals you earned"). Driftin Soul (talk) 22:26, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
