How does Splat Zones work in Splatoon 3?

Splat Zones is similar to a King of the Hill mode for Splatoon 3. There will be a marked portion on the map that both teams will fight over. When one of the teams gets a large majority of the area covered in their color ink, they will be in control of the zone, and the timer will start counting down. Whatever team depletes the timer fully or has less time at the end of the match wins. If the team with more time has control when the time limit expires, the game will go into overtime until they pass the other team or lose control.

Splatoon 3 tips and tricks for Splat Zones

Use Super Jumps to get back into fights around teammates quickly. Be ready for a brawl.

Use weapons and supers that are better at eliminating enemies. With both teams often converging on one point, the team that wins is the one that can wipe the other players from contention.

Don’t jump into fights on your own. Stay around teammates, so you regularly have the numbers advantage.

If possible, take the higher ground to give yourself better sight lines on enemies and make it harder for them to hit you.

When your team has possession of the zone, don’t just camp in it. Work on covering the area between the zone and the opposing team’s spawn in your color ink to make it harder for them to get back to the zone.
