Learn about Splatoon 2 gear types, beginner ability priorities like Swim Speed Up, and how gear progression works.

There are three types of gear in Splatoon 2: Headgear, Clothing, and Shoes. Each piece of gear comes with abilities that affect gameplay. As you use gear, abilities unlock over time, and additional slots can improve their effectiveness. Later, re-roll systems allow for optimization.

Beginner Priorities:

• Swim Speed Up
• Run Speed Up
• Ink Resistance Up

Situational Abilities:

• Quick Super Jump (for mobility recovery)
• Ink Saver (for resource efficiency)

Key Insight: Speed and mobility are the most reliable early advantages in Splatoon 2.
