Third kits are located in the good maps

[fireyocean]

"Lost potential" is how I'd describe Splatoon 3 in general. I'd say it's the best game in the series in a lot of aspects but it's also the most frustrating because we all know it could've been so much better.

I want to believe in third kits and I'm sure eventually it'll happen, but there are a lot of reasons to believe they won't. One theory I saw was that Tableturf Cards implied there wouldn't be third kits because of how the cards are designed for alt kits, and my theory on top of that is that the new weapons for each class we got are meant to fill in the gap of them. Ever noticed how weapons like S-BLAST and Snipewriter got the subs of kits like Grim Range and Kensa Charger?

Maybe third kits were the good maps the devs made along the way…

I always thought that for how hard Nintendo pushed the theme of 3 and referencing S1 and 2, it was weird not to have 3 years of content and third kits

[astro_dwarf]

I always thought 3rd kits would be announced along side the "Switch 2." As a business decision, when everyone is looking forward to the new console, they're also looking at the new games. Which is the perfect time to release 3rd kits and potentially get some more people to purchase a copy of splatoon 3. If this doesn't happen, it means we'll probably have switch 2 launch year Splatoon 4. I don't realistically see the devs doing nothing during such an important time.

[ContainerYeast]

no 3rd kits in a game that puts the number 3 everywhere is absurd

[crashur]

Honestly, if the Splatoon devs aren't giving us third kits, they should just put us out of our misery and say, "Third kits will not be coming to Splatoon 3." Anything else is just cruelly letting us hope.

maybe 3rd kits were the friends we made along the way...

I also think Splatoon 10th anniversary could be when they drop as a celebration

[Sun-Three-]

Part of the secret sick and twisted third group being 100% sure third kits are a thing

[MattisticStatistic]

honestly i don't think the devs want them to be a thing
with how little they've nudged the balance towards any direction, i doubt they'll just drop like 20 weapons with 3rd kits - some of which probably will be broken or significantly shift the meta
this has to be testing for s4

[Frye-nk]

My mentality is it happens if it happens and it doesn't happen if it doesn't happen.

[TheNorilla]

I don’t expect 3rd kits to happen; if they do happen, it’s a pleasant surprise, and if not I wouldn’t be disappointed.

[dynamorolleruser]

third kits WILL happen, and nothing will make me believe otherwise.

[Mimiyan_or_Pikapikafan]

My expectations are at "3rd kits could happen, but don't expect it"
My thoughts on S3 without third kits is also missed potential

[Zilreal-yhsf]

Third kits not being on their third game seems so wrong.

[VGF]

What i find disappointing is that third kits should've become the standard after splatoon 2. There's no reason for them not to be part of the regular update cycle.
But the discussion on third kits is a red herring to the real issue, which is whether this kit system that has been in place since the first game should be changed or not. In my opinion, it has become archaric, it has overstayed it's welcome, and it's part of the reason why we're in this third kit dilemma to begin with. IT NEEDS TO GO!
I'm all up for a customizable kit system or at least a weapon pool system with access to a sufficient variety of aubs and speacials. The system we have now has served it purpose in previous instalments, but it's not sustainable nor comaptible with the demands and seasonal update structure of splatoon 3 and possibly future splatoon games.


But hey, at least we can throw shame on team past for letting this outdated kit system return in splatoon 4 if that does happen. Lol.

Undercover deadass needs splatbomb and kraken fr😭

[dartcolors]

The copium in me says that third kits aren't happening, but the hopium in me is saying there's gonna be a semi big update either just after the switch 2 or splat 4 announcement to build hype for the next thing

[Pikatwig]

It would be very ironic if the game with the three theme was the only one to lack third kits.
