Splatoon 3 equipment and skill guide

With Splatoon 3, you can expect endless hours of chaos-filled fun filled with bloody combat on the battlefield. While winning fights is undoubtedly the primary goal, looking nice while doing so is also very significant. If you're not going for the newest fitting in Splatoon, you're not playing the game correctly.

We will now dissect every aspect of Splatoon 3 gear. We can answer your questions on where to get it, how to equip it, and what each ability means. However, in my opinion, the only justification for purchasing new clothing in Splatoon is their attractiveness, so I wouldn't start min-maxing (at least not anytime soon).

Now that you have all the information you need, scroll down and play Turf War like it's the catwalk in Milan. See why we believe Splatoon 3 is worth it by reading our Splatoon 3 review if you're still not sure. Along with a Splatoon 3 weapons and Splatoon 3 Salmon Run guide, we also have a segment promoting the amazing Splatoon 3 soundtrack.

Well, let's stroll about.

How can I modify my gear abilities in Splatoon 3?

Murch, a humanoid marine monster that looks like a teenager, is available for conversation if you go to the front of the lobby at the top of the stairs. When it comes to gear abilities, he is there to sort things out.

Ability chunks – use these to change a single ability
