Splatoon 3's Side Order DLC will take players to Inkopolis Square, the original hub area for Splatoon 2 on the Nintendo Switch. However, all the color has been removed from the area, and you'll need to get past 30 floors of The Spire of Order to restore color and save the citizens of the Splatlands.

Once you start the Side Order expansion and access the new single-player content, you'll have to go through ten floors. The thing is, when you first play, you'll be forced to use the Dualies. For those wondering how to switch weapons or get new weapons in Splatoon 3's Side Order DLC, here's what you need to know.

As soon as you complete the tenth floor and beat the boss, you'll see the opening credits for Side Order and then return to the area outside the tower. Marina will speak to you in the plaza and show off her hacking techniques, which players can utilize by spending a currency called Prlz.

After that, players will get their first different weapon in the form of Marina's Palette. You can change weapons in Splatoon 3 Side Order by pressing the + button and then choosing the weapon you want. At first, you'll only have the Dualies and the Brella, but as you keep playing, you'll get more.

It's worth noting that once you pick a weapon (Palette), you cannot change it during a run through The Spire of Order.

Locker Time

During this tutorial sequence, you'll learn all about lockers near the tower's entrance. You'll start with three keys for the lockers, which will open the first three. You'll get Agent 4's Palette for unlocking the third one, which will grant you a third weapon to use.

You can get more locker keys by progressing through The Spire. It seems like keys will be available every 10 floors. There's also a boss to fight on the tenth floor, so make sure to come prepared with the best Color Chips.
