Pages
Home
This is the page that is automatically opened when starting up SplatNet 2.
Sections
- Player Stats
This section located at the top of the page shows the player's Nintendo Account name, level, Ranked Battle rankings, and total turf inked, all of which are listed over their favorite color (one of six, cycled via the upper-right dashed-circle). This section also shows the player's favourite stage (changed by tapping on its name), as well as the player's current loadout of Main Weapon, Sub Weapon and Special Weapon, its Freshness Rating, total turf inked, and gear with abilities. There is also a share button allowing players to share this information to social media.
- Splatfest
If a Splatfest has been announced in-game by Pearl and Marina, a Splatfest section will appear detailing the two sides which can be picked as well as the date/s of the Splatfest. Upon tapping this section, the Splatfest section will be opened. Here, the times of the Splatfest are shown and the teams that Nintendo Switch friends have chosen will be displayed here too. The 'Splatfest Stats' can be opened by going back on the top left of the screen. Here, all previously completed Splatfests and their scores will be displayed. The Top 100 of each team will also be shown with the top 5's weapons, gear and Splatfest Power being shown.
- CPOD FM
CPOD FM is where all of the latest Splatoon 2 news appears. This includes new weapons from Sheldon, the current stages, statistics for the last four battles from Judd, whether Salmon Run is able to be currently played as well as future shifts, SplatNet 2 gear that is about to expire, the player's Lifetime Inkage, and if a Ranked Battle rank has increased.
Stages
The Stage Info screen shows the upcoming stages for Regular Battle, Ranked Battle, and League Battle for the next 24 hours. Tapping on a stage brings up the player's current win percentages for Ranked Battles. A pink arrow on the side of the page shows how far through the current rotation is. The times shown are linked to the region specified by a Nintendo Account.

— SplatNet gear
| ||
SplatNet Gear Shop (Japanese: ゲソタウン geso taun, tentacles town) is an online retail service run by Annie. A new piece of gear will be available every two hours and is available for 10 hours in total. Once the time is up, the gear disappears and is unable to be purchased. There will only be 6 items available at one time.
All orders can be picked up from Murch in Inkopolis Square immediately after ordering. The gear available for purchase can be found again later with different main abilities. However, only one type of gear can be held at one time so if one orders a duplicate with a different main ability one will need to choose which to keep and which to throw away once the player meets with Murch.
Only one piece of gear can be ordered at one time. If another piece of gear is ordered without the previous one being picked up in-game, the player is asked to replace the ordered item.
Pricing for items in the SplatNet Gear Shop is based on the rarity of the item. 1-star items are 2.5× the original price, 2-star items are 2× the original price, and 3-star items are 1.5× the original price.
Trivia
- SplatNet 2 can be refreshed by tapping the Spawn Point-looking icon in the bottom right.
- An account that uses more than one region of Splatoon 2 can use the same SplatNet 2 app for all regions. It will simply display the data for the game region the account most recently played.
