In Side Order, what are weapon loadouts called?

In Side Order, weapon loadouts are called Palettes.

A Palette is the starting build Agent 8 takes into an attempt inside the Spire of Order. Each Palette is associated with a particular main weapon and comes with its own initial abilities, giving players a defined playstyle before they begin choosing upgrades. The system makes weapon selection part of the expansion’s roguelite structure rather than a simple equipment menu.

During a run, players collect color chips and attach them to the selected Palette. These chips strengthen traits such as movement, ink efficiency, damage, or special-weapon performance. Because floors and rewards are randomized, the same Palette can develop differently from one attempt to the next.

Side Order includes twelve weapon loadouts, and new Palettes can be unlocked through progression. They are not the same as Scrolls, which are collectible lore and artwork items in earlier Splatoon campaigns. “Kits” is also easy to confuse with the normal weapon combinations of a main weapon, sub weapon, and special weapon, but Nintendo’s Side Order terminology specifically uses “Palettes.”
