Freshness (stars)

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.

Rewards

Obtaining a new star for a weapon grants the player the reward associated with that level:

Stars	Freshness required	Reward
1	10,000	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	Golden badge of the weapon

Once a player has reached five 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.
