The '''Opening Gambit''' boosts your run speed and swim speed for the first 30 seconds of the match, allowing you to move much faster.  Ideal for reaching objectives before opponents during start of match.  This [[Ability]] is restricted to headgear as a main ability.
'''Opening Gambit''' is a [[gear ability|gear primary ability]] in the {{Ss}}.


== In-Depth Ability ==
Opening Gambit gives the user [[Run Speed Up]] and [[Swim Speed Up]] (and in {{S2}}, [[Ink Resistance Up]]) for the first 30 seconds of the battle. In ''Splatoon 2'', that time is extended by 7.5 seconds for each splat and assist the user gets while the ability is still active. In ''Splatoon 3'', the time by which it is extended is 15 seconds instead.

Open Gambit is especially useful to gain quick advance of terrain at the very few seconds of the match. Because the player using this ability is expected to arrive to the middle of the battle field before than other team members, an agressive and planned strategy is expected.
