I still need to get a single one of those, but I do have two 4 star badges and am currently getting some other favorite weapons to 4 stars so I can easily find them in my weapon select screen. I have six 3 star weapons that I’m working on getting to 4 stars, and four 2 star weapons I might try to get to 4 stars (two are guaranteed because I like them, the other two maybe because I still need to get used to them). Being a multi-main is kinda fun actually, always enough weapons to choose from if a play style gets a bit stale.

@@bestevil2 Well yeah, it takes longer if you keep switching between weapons, not to mention Salmon Run is my favorite mode because it’s so relaxing. Though I wish I had some more friends to play with instead of having to rely on in game friends to appear in the Grizzco lobby. I did get that opportunity yesterday, but their rank was a lot lower than mine, so my rank stayed the same. But I didn’t mind that because I still got reward points for it and it’ll still count splatted enemies for the badges.

a gold weapon badge shows that you have a huge dedication to a weapon and have a great understanding of it, it really is something to be proud of

Agreed whenever i see that badge and they have that weapon it fills me with confidence theyre a good team mates cause they know their weapon in and out

1:57 also in splatoon 1 Judd would give you cash for the amount of freshness you currently had for the day and it isn’t tied to weapons

Weapon Freshness is actually one of my personal favourite new additions to S3, especially with how the weapon licenses are tied to it (and leveling normally, but shhhhhh). Encouraging you to try different weapons with the allure of stickers and badges is honestly super addictive to me, and helps me find more weapons I enjoy playing! Just getting a full page of weapons I like to 4 stars and seeing the little 4 stars above them just feels great, in a way those tacked on turf point badges in 2 never did tbh.

I'm looking to get every weapon to max freshness. Currently I have everything at 3 stars and 26 weapons at 4 stars. One of the things to note about the bonus points in turf war is that it was originally added as a system to splatoon 1 in an update to curb a problem where players were way more likely to pick a high paint weapon and ignore their team in favor of a high score at the end. An aerospray could easily score you 1800 points which was often times more points than any member of the enemy team got even with the 500 win bonus. It was a very unfun play experience so they moved away from giving you experience per point painted and went for a threshold system instead to cap it. The system exists so that low painting weapons are more incentivized since you only care about clearing a certain threshold for points. Which is why a 1000 point threshold would defeat the purpose. One thing from Splatoon 1 that I greatly miss is how ranked modes used to give gradually more experience and money the higher your rank went. I believe it was 500 points more per knockout and I don't remember if it went all the way to 5000 but I do remember 4500 being a threshold. As an S+ player in 3 it would be nice if I was at least rewarded with more points per win for playing with such difficult opponents but oh well I suppose.

I’m in the process of 5 Starring Flingza. Now that I know how it actually works, I don’t have to completely focus on painting anymore. Update: I've done it!

This is such underated content, it would be nice if you could cover what each of the main abilities do, like LDE/Comeback etc.

I could never, I have so many weapons at 4 stars because playing the same weapon day after day just to get a gold badge sounds boring to me.

I never would of known this

Really simple, comprehensive and awesome explanation of this. I didn't know the point system of winning a match had many details about it. This video is really useful.

Wow, I just assumed it worked the same as player xp. The turf war freshness actually does have a small cosmetic use. Upon hitting certain numbers, the weapon's flag on the equip screen changes to green at 5, bronze at 10, silver at 15, and gold at 50! In Splatoon 2 you would also get an xp bonus for hitting green, bronze, or silver for the first time with a weapon, but that was removed in 3

I have 5 Stars on only one as of right now - the Octobrush - but I have four stars on Inkbrush and Vanilla Splatana Wiper. I plan to grind for 5 Star Wiper (both of them) soon and this video is really helpful to put the numbers in perspective. Time to practice more Wiper! (And after that would be Painbrush and my rollers but it’s been a while since I’ve touched any of my rollers…)

​@CurtisVito it's theoretically possible to wait until a lot of players have left the game to make it easier to grab. When splatoon 4 comes out, for instance, you can come back to this game and have a much smaller pool to compete with. Keep in mind that this is the inverse relationship with top % badges. The more players playing, the more players get to be in the top %. So those ones are generally easier the earlier in the game's life you do them as the players that leave a game tend to disproportionately be the worst ones.

I have 3 golden weapon badges the 1st one was the squeezer the 2nd was the splatana stamper and I recently got the splatana wiper on 5 stars too

Thanks for this! I've been trying to figure out exactly how many wins are needed at the bare minimum for a full 0-5 star freshness journey, but this really puts the numbers in perspective, especially, considering a good 100, 200, or even 300 extra games might be needed due to bad losses or poor performance in won matches.

Nice job with this video. It was great

For some perspective, I first started trying to 5 star Tri Noveau but stopped after getting tired of trigger spam. Then I switched to Octoshot and am en route to 5 star that weapon. I did a lot more turf war than anarchy with Tri Noveau where as I did a lot more anarchy than turf war with Octoshot. The result: I reached about the same amount of freshness points with 269 wins for Octoshot compared to 289 wins for Tri Noveau. So playing anarchy can definitely expedite the process, even though there have been times where I went on a 50 minute losing streak with some tough, close losses.

That’s very interesting. I currently have 4 stars on my main weapon, the inkbrush, and I plan to 5 star it in the future. I’ll use what you talked about in this video to help me get there! Thanks!

The amount of people I’ve seen with 5 star on undercover and both dapples scares me

Very cool thanks!

I appreciate this alot because I've been on the grind for 5* but had no idea what affected the points going into it

I used to focus so much about the Freshness *rating* (That number thing you see on the side when you're about to select Turf War) but because I mostly abandoned Turf War, I focus on Ranked. Now this vid inspired me to get the stickers. I knew someone who got gold Ttek Splattershot sticker and seeing how he played and his knowledge of the game of his age, I'd say he definitely deserves it because for me I go kamikaze with Painbrush when my team acts too cautious.

Just got a 5 star rating on my dark tetra dualies before I saw this video! I'm working on getting 5 stars for my 4 star N-zap next but I had no idea how I got Freshness points on it specifically other than "just play a lot". So now I know what those battle points are for, lol. Thanks for the video!

I only have (as of now) one 5 star weapon and it’s Tri-Stringer. It took almost a full year because I only use it in Anarchy modes (because I feel like I’m throwing if I use it in Turf Wars) but I am and have been committed to the bow and got it around the end of July. Although I’ve been playing a lot of secondary Nautilus 47 and Ballpoint which are both around 4.5 stars but I have used them in both Turf, Anarchy, and even Splatfests during the current (sizzle) season

I’m happy I found you channel

This is completely off topic butbu should get the gold super chump badge, it’ll go well in the middle with the ds and cds on the side

This is super helpful thanks you! I always thought it was paint lol

I've already got the ballpoint 5☆ and very much looking forward to grinding ballpoint nouveau as soon as it releases so this video is perfectly timed😭

I'm an idiot and seriously needed this, thank you.

Thanks for the informative video. Also the way you speak reminds me a lot of nicobbq

I'm a five star Hydra player, I don't really pick it up all to often any more, but everything I learned during that makes me the worst nightmare of most Hydra players I encounter

The funny thing is that I was looking for a video like this a week ago 😅

This is literally the type of vid I was looking for. Assumed battle points were what was given to u but I wasn't certain. I have stamper 5 starred but I'm half way to getting light tetras 5 starred

I know it sounds insane and no one’s gonna believe me, but I’m trying to get ALL of the gold badges for all 55 base game weapons (yea, every single one) and even tho I’m on my 4th weapon that I’m getting to 4 stars first (I’m doing all the 4 stars and then 5 to get a feel of what it’s gonna be like), I still don’t understand how the entire thing works, so this really helped me! Thank you!!!

Cool video! Lays it out in a easy to understand format, idk why the game itself doesn't explain this much 😶 I did a few calculations on my own, and this is what I came up with. It's From best to worst, 1) Anarchy Win KO 2) Anarchy Win Time (67+ pts) 3) Turf Win 4) Turf Loss 5) Anarchy Lose Time 6) Anarchy Lose KO This is when the amount of objective points is held constant, and assuming you score 500p. So, KO-ing in anarchy always gives the most points, even if it takes a whole 4 minutes and 59 seconds to KO. What's tricky is that, winning Anarchy from Time running out is _not_ always better than winning in Turf. You get more raw points, but you have to remember that a full anarchy game takes longer than Turf. I'll put the calculations in a reply to this comment, since it's a bit complicated. But basically, you need to score 67 or more objective points to "break even" compared to turf. That means lowering your counter score down to 33. So there's a few more things to consider: • If you're specifically grinding to get 5 stars, don't bother with Anarchy unless you're confident you can win _and_ overcome this 67 point hurdle (which means the counter drops to 33). Playing in _Open_ with some friends is a good way to ensure this confidence, since u control your team comps that way, and can communicate. Playing in modes that your weapon dominates in (blaster -> tower), or (inkbrush -> clam blitz) is another good way to ensure that confidence. I get that it's kinda obvious advice, boiling down to "play in the best conditions to get 5 star faster". But it matters more than you might think, because just winning in anarchy isn't always good enough. It's actually kind of difficult to break even. ...well anyways, it's not the end of the world if you can't break even. It's still more efficient than losing in turf. I was just curious how the numbers worked out :D Calculation for 67 thing below:

@pkchiptune

11 ай бұрын

So for the 67: A turf win with 500p inked is, 600 + 300 + 500p = 1400p. Over 3 minutes, that's 466.6 points per minute (PPM). An anarchy win due to time running out, with 500p inked, is 500 + 1500 + (5 * x), where x is the amount of objective points you score. To get 467 PPM, solve for x in: 500 + 1500 + (5 * x) / 5mins = 467. x equals 67 objective points 👍

I've only gotten up to 4 stars on dark tetra dualies before new weapons came out and I found a new favourite, now I have a few with 2 or 3

Seems like the only reward from freshness that's Worth it are the Sheldon licenses

1:58 I had no idea, I would be so sad if I went from fresh to raw 💀 and took turf war serious bc I wanted to win

I just looked it up last night trying to figure out why some points weren't counting in a splat zones. I thought it was just paint amounts

This was really helpful for me as I didn't know how freshness worked, thank you! btw if it took you 2 months to get 5 stars on your dualie squelchers, how long did you play a day? because im trying to calculate it for myself as I try to get 5 stars with Enperry Splat Dualies

@mossyquartzz

5 ай бұрын

I don't know exactly how long I played on average but I usually tried to get 20k to 30k points a day when I could! So the time varied depending on how much I won/lost

Even though it's slower, I just like grinding freshness in turf most of the time. Took me about 21 days from Sizzle season's start to get all the way to five stars with Big Swig Express. I'm assuming the absolute fastest you can get to five starts is 3 days of nonstop grinding? You'd have to truly be gifted in the art of KOs lol.

@HK_on_YT

10 ай бұрын

Turf War is actually the fastest way to grind Freshness since a Battle takes only 3 minutes and it's easier to win if you are good (see the calculation above your comment by @pkchiptune). I find the matchmaking of Anarchy to be so bad that many times it does not even matter how good you are. You can have long losing streaks in Anarchy due to being matched with teammates way below your rank while being Overall Splatter and Splat Assister each time. And if you do have a long winning streaks, you can be sure to encounter very good teams that have badges with green and silver X's (I have never encountered a golden X yet, which you get when you are a top 3 player in X rank), which are the best players that play solo.

Thank you, been trying to get 3 stars on ALL weapons but they keep adding more every season. Plus pausing the game for 2 month didn't help much. Anyways ty again.

Splatana Stamper is my only 5⭐️ weapon so far. My next closest weapons are Tri-Stringer and Ballpoint. It took me around two and half months to max out Stamper. Imo, I feel like the requirement to get 5⭐️s should be lower - at least get rid of the additional 160,000 pts from 1,160,000 pts and reduce it to 1,000,000 pts. This is coming from a person who doesn’t like grinding too much btw lol

The devs are in a roll with the weapon balancing and glad the game is still growing and getting better

I started playing June 15th of this year and I already have the N-Zap '85 5 starred, and the N-Zap '89 and S-Blast '92 4 starred. I almost exclusively play turf and salmon run 😅

Yea I remember getting 5 stars on vanilla slosher and blob 100 hours on those weapons is painful but at least I got the badge

i have the first badges for like 7 weapons and i’ve been trying for a while to get the gold mini splatling 😭

I have 5 star Vanilla Splat Brella it took me about 5-ish months because at the beginning it was suffering from the Bugs & Kit is not suitable that’s why it took so long for me

Where was this video when I started playing splatoon 3.

I have yet to 5 star any weapon. Or even get halfway there. I got 4 stars on bamboozler mk2 day 1 of its release but I can't even get close to 5 stars. I've made a commitment to only play bamboozler mk2 for this season and haven't touched other weapons but I'm still under a quarter of the way to the top. I play a lot of salmon run and unfortunately that doesn't help at all. This game is so much more grindy than the previous games and it's pretty frustrating.

Would you ever upload any gameplay? It’s sooo difficult to find dualie squelchers gameplay and I crave to see the ingenuity of other DS mains.

I tryhard to level up my freshness but it's difficult but i think it's because i have 4 star on spaltdualies, ballpoint, splatana deco and dynamo too 😂, it's very difficult for me to focus on 1 weapon, i always change, that's why i play 52'gal, n zap, S blaters, Range blaster, carbon deco, and heavy deco too. And when i saw the trailer, i was like, omg the new splatling will become my new main, kit is soo cool And i have a question, did you know if title for banner depends of what weapon you play more? Because my first title was "Nautilus user" so idk if i had chance.

you didnt mention this but exp tickets do not effect weapon freshness if you get a knockout with a 2x exp ticket and get 5000 exp, you'll still only get 2500 points for your weapon freshness

So, you're telling me that if I want to get every weapon currently in Splatoon 3 to 5 stars, I would need to log 50 days worth of non-stop K.O win grinding in series to reach that goal?
