Freshness (stars)
From Inkipedia, the Splatoon wiki
- For Freshness meter referring the number of flags, see Freshness (flags).
Freshness, also referred to as weapon rating or Freshness rating, is a progression system used for tracking main weapon usage in Splatoon 3.
Overview
Freshness is tracked for each specific main weapon and does not drop or reset. After each match, a player's weapon gains Freshness points based on Battle Points awarded.
The meter can be seen from the equipment select screen, and pressing on the weapon. Once a weapon reaches 4 or 5 stars, the number of stars that weapon can be seen when selecting a weapon.
Rewards
Obtaining a new star for a weapon grants the player the reward associated with that level:
| Stars | Freshness required | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 5,000 [a] | 1 Sheldon License |
| 2 | 25,000 | Normal sticker of the weapon |
| 3 | 60,000 | Reflective sticker of the weapon |
| 4 | 160,000 | Badge of the weapon |
| 5 | 1,160,000 | Badge of the weapon with a gold ink splat background |
Once a weapon has reached 5 stars, they can no longer earn Freshness towards that weapon, and the bar changes to "MAX".

Judd's Advice
Meow. (Each weapon has a Freshness rating, which grows as you use it. You'll get bonuses for boosting a weapon's rating, like Sheldon Licenses, stickers, and badges! Stickers and badges are great for showing everyone which weapons you like to use.
