Backward Cap

For the other pieces of gear that include backwards caps, see Backwards Cap (disambiguation).

The Backward Cap is headgear in the Splatoon series.

In Splatoon, it is a 1-star item produced by Zekko and comes with the primary ability Quick Respawn. It can be purchased from Cooler Heads for  700.

In Splatoon 2, it is a 1-star item produced by Zekko and comes with the primary ability Quick Respawn. It can be purchased from Headspace for  700 or from SplatNet 2 Gear Shop for  1,750.

Appearance

The Backwards Cap is a flat-brimmed cap worn backwards. It has a dark gray brim, a tiny version of the Zekko logo on the front (the back, if worn normally), and Zekko's name in large, black and white Inkling letters on the other side. The main part of the hat changes color to match that of the wearer's ink.

Despite looking strikingly similar to the CoroCoro Cap from the front, the Backwards Cap is worn differently: it is almost completely straight, while the CoroCoro Cap is angled, with the Zekko logo over the wearer's left eye. The lettering seems to be the word/emblem Zekko rather than CoroCoro.

Splatoon

Abilities

The Backward Cap comes with Quick Respawn as the primary ability. As a 1-star item, the Backward Cap comes with one additional slot for secondary abilities, which may be increased to a maximum of three slots with a Super Sea Snail or 30,000 cash for each slot. Since it is made by the Zekko gear brand, it has a higher chance of rolling Special Saver and a lower chance of rolling Special Charge Up to fill its secondary ability slot.

Splatoon 2

Abilities

The Backward Cap comes with Quick Respawn as the primary ability when purchased from a shop or ordered from Murch. When purchased from SplatNet 2, it comes with any other primary ability normally available to Headgear. As a 1-star item, the Backward Cap comes with one additional slot for secondary abilities, which may be increased to a maximum of three slots with a Super Sea Snail for each slot. Since it is made by the Zekko gear brand, it has a higher chance of rolling Special Saver and a lower chance of rolling Special Charge Up to fill its secondary ability slot.
