Applicable gear

Opening Gambit is an ability in Splatoon and Splatoon 2.

Opening Gambit boosts mobility for about the first 30 seconds of a match; in Splatoon 2, that amount of time could be longer (see below for details). This ability is restricted to headgear as a main ability, and cannot be rolled as a sub ability.

Tactics

The ability is ideal for reaching objectives before opponents during the start of the match, gaining a tactical advantage.

Mutual exclusivity

This ability is found as the main ability only on headgear, so other abilities found only on headgear are mutually exclusive with it; in other words players cannot have them together. These abilities are S Ability Comeback.png Comeback, S Ability Last-Ditch Effort.png Last-Ditch Effort, and S Ability Tenacity.png Tenacity.
