Sheldon License

Icon of a Sheldon License in Splatoon 3

Sheldon Licenses are a type of currency introduced in Splatoon 3 that can be used to acquire new weapons in Ammo Knights, which differs from previous games where players instead used cash.

1 Sheldon License is obtained every time the player levels up or increases a weapon's Freshness to 1 star, as well as at the end of each season.

Each weapon at or below the player's level costs 1 Sheldon License to purchase. Unlike in previous games, weapons above the player's current level can still be bought, although they cost 3 Sheldon Licenses each instead of 1.

If a player has purchased every weapon, they can exchange extra Sheldon Licenses for Shell-Out Tokens at the Shell-Out Machine.

Gold Sheldon Licenses

Gold Sheldon Licenses can be used to purchase any weapon regardless of the player's level. Players who import their Splatoon 2 save data at the beginning of Splatoon 3 receive three Gold Sheldon Licenses after completing their first online battle,[1] which is the only way to obtain them.

If the player has one, a Gold Sheldon License is spent automatically when purchasing a weapon above the player's level, or when purchasing any weapon with no regular Sheldon Licenses remaining (though in this case, Sheldon will warn the player that it may be a waste of a Gold Sheldon License).

Gold Sheldon Licenses do not have a counter in the user interface. Instead, Sheldon will tell the player how many they have left after they make a purchase with one in Ammo Knights.

Trivia

  • A news article on the official Splatoon 3 website reveals a tip about the ability to spend extra Sheldon Licenses to purchase weapons above the player's level, but it contains an error: the website states four Sheldon Licenses are required, whereas only three are actually required in-game.
