Locker room
The locker room is a Splatoon 3 feature located in the Battle Lobby to the right of the battle kettle and under the second story. This area contains three walls of customizable lockers, with one belonging to the player and others belonging to players they've recently played with, friends, and lockers that have been deemed very 'fresh'.
The locker room doors are blacked out from a distance as well as before they are unlocked by the player to reduce items being rendered. After reaching level 4, the player can enter the locker room and interact with their locker by pressing . When queuing for a match, the player can still enter the room, but they cannot open any lockers.

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... | ” |
