The Info Screen, known in Splatoon as the Gear❌ or Equipment screen, is a menu that displays the player's current information. It is located on the Wii U GamePad in Splatoon and on the menu's Status tab in Splatoon 2.

It includes the player's:
 * Mii name (Splatoon) or Nintendo Switch username (Splatoon 2)
 * Current Level
 * Current Ranks
 * Current main weapon
 * The amount of Turf Inked in the form of Battle Points
 * The loadout of that weapon (sub and special)
 * Current Gear
 * Current headgear
 * Current clothing
 * Current shoes

Splatoon's Gear Screen also provides a link to the Ability Guide.

Pressing on  or any Nintendo Switch controller opens the equip screen.

Equip Screen




From the equip screen, the player can change their weapon or gear. Information about each item can be read by pressing. When a weapon is highlighted, can be pressed to access the Shooting Range with that weapon. The player's Inkling can be rotated with.

Splatoon 2 introduced the ability for players to sort their gear based on a variety of factors by pressing. Gear can be sorted by recent use, brand, or ability, while weapons can be sorted by recent use, main weapon class, sub weapon, or special weapon.

Splatoon 3 made this sorting idea easier by having the sort display icons at the top.
