Locker room



The locker room is a feature located in the Battle Lobby to the right of the battle kettle and under the second story. This area contains three walls of lockers, with the player's own locker standing in the middle row, to the left of other lockers belonging to the players they've recently played with. Lockers belonging to the player's friends are located on the right side of the room, and lockers that have been deemed very 'fresh' are located on the left side.

The locker room doors are blacked out from a distance as well as before they are unlocked by the player to reduce the amount of items being rendered. After reaching level 4, the player can enter the locker room and interact with their locker by pressing.

Quotes
"Speaking of sports, let's check out the new locker room! Given the focus on fashion in the Splatlands, these lockers aren't just for storage. Folks trick them out with gear, stickers, and other decor. Is the Fashion Desk jealous? We did see them shopping for stickers online..."
