Some, like the Marie, Callie, and Grizz badges can be unlocked in story mode, while weapon-specific badges or those locked to Salmon Run can take a bit longer. Some badges can even act as a way to show off either your achievements or just how much you have been grinding the game since launch.

Here’s how to unlock all the many badges in Splatoon 3.

Most of the badges come in different types. You have a basic badge and then a gold, or even sometimes silver. These badges have the same requirements but just more of what you did to get the original. If a badge has a silver or gold variant, we will list below the ways to unlock each badge in order.
