How to scan an amiibo
- Return to the Hideout Ship.
- Press Plus to open the Gear menu.
- Enter Style and move to the amiibo tab.
- Choose Scan.
- Touch the figure to the controller's NFC point.
- Check the Outfit area of Style for the newly available cosmetic.
If the amiibo tab is not available, continue early progression and recheck the Style menu. Do not buy a figure solely on the assumption that an unlisted model will work.
What Nintendo confirms
Nintendo's official product page confirms support for Splatoon-series amiibo and describes the reward as stylish fits for the Mechanic. It also makes clear that amiibo figures are sold separately.
Paid unlock policy
Raiders Atlas labels every amiibo-dependent outfit as paid or hardware-dependent content. These cosmetics are kept separate from ordinary progression rewards, and no amiibo outfit is described as a combat advantage without in-game proof.
