18K Aviators

The 18K Aviators are a type of headgear in Splatoon. They are a 3-star item produced by Rockenberg and come with the main ability Last-Ditch Effort.

They can be purchased from Cooler Heads for 12,000 cash.

Appearance

The 18K Aviators are a pair of aviator sunglasses with shiny, gold-colored frames and dark brown lenses that fade from nearly opaque at the top to semi-transparent at the bottom. On the bottom of the left lens is the Inkling text from the Rockenberg logo in white. Interestingly, they are the only glasses in Splatoon to have nose pieces.

Abilities

The 18K Aviators come with Last-Ditch Effort as a main ability. As a 3-star item, they also have three slots for secondary abilities. Since they are made by the Rockenberg brand, they have a higher chance of rolling Run Speed Up and a lower chance of rolling Swim Speed Up.

Trivia

• The "18K" in the name refers to 18-karat gold, suggesting that the gold-colored frames may be actual gold.
• At 12,000 cash, the 18K Aviators are the most expensive piece of headgear. They are tied with the Varsity Jacket and Blue Moto Boots for the most expensive gear overall.
