This article is about experience points gained in standard online multiplayer modes. For a similar type of points earned inSalmon Run, seeSalmon Run#Rank. For the reward points earned in that mode, seeSalmon Run#Rewards. For points earned inSide Order runs, seePrlz.

Battle Points, usually shortened toBP,Points, or simplyp, act as experience awarded to players after completing amultiplayer match. These contribute towards the player'slevel and are also the determining factor in the winner ofTurf War battles.

Use of Battle Points

Points are primarily used tolevel up players and unlockabilities. Points are also converted intocash and can be used to purchasegear such as clothes, shoes, and headgear, or buyweapons. Battle Points are counted at the end of everyTurf War match to decide a winner and are also used to fill theSpecial Gauge.

InSplatoon, from Level 1 to 20, Battle Points directly translate to the amount of experience earned to level up. From Level 20 to 50, the amount of Battle Points earned in Turf War and performance inRanked Battles correspond to a specific amount of experience.

Earning

Players can earn points inTurf War,Splat Zones,Tower Control,Rainmaker, andClam Blitz. In all these modes, Battle Points are used to fill theSpecial Gauge, which allows players to use theirspecial weapon.

FromSplatoon 3, the first win of the day also awards a bonus 7500p.

Turf War

InTurf War, points are earned by covering ground withink. Eachstage has a set number of total Battle Points, based on the amount of land available for inking. However, players may easily earn more points than this amount because ink is often recovered by the opposing team. In a given match of Turf War, the team with the most turf covered after three minutes wins.

Points are awarded based on the amount of turf covered by individual players and some bonuses:

Ranked Battles

Battle Points are based on the team's score, which is how much the team moved their counter for each mode's objective. The counter goes down by holding the control of the Zones inSplat Zones, riding the Tower inTower Control, moving theRainmaker close to the opponent's podium inRainmaker, and tossing clams inside the opponent's basket inClam Blitz. The players earn five Battle Points per score point, where the winning team gets a win bonus depending on the player's rank and whether they scored a knockout.

Anarchy Battles

InSplatoon 3, all ranks have a flat Battle Points system.

• Winning with a KO awards 2500p KO bonus.
• Winning without KO awards a 1500p bonus.
• Both teams are awarded a time bonus of 100p for each minute of gameplay, and a progress bonus of 5p for each objective point.

Trivia

• InRegular Battles, players are ranked on the results screen in terms of Battle Points earned. In Ranked Battles, every team member earns the same amount of points, so players are instead ranked by the number of splats they caused and how many times they were splatted.
• In the demo version ofSplatoon shown at E3 2014, after a player splatted an opponent, the number of points earned from splatting them would show up where the player was splatted. This is the amount of points inked from the explosion the opponent made.
• In theRainmaker mode, battle points continue to count when using theRainmaker weapon for the player's total Battle Points of the match and the total turf inked with their weapon.
• According toSplatNet 2'sink milestones, a single point inSplatoon 2 is equivalent to roughly 3.31m².
