    Opening Gambit in Splatoon used to be one of the most irrelevant Gear Perks in the Splatoon Series. In the recent Patch 3.1.0 this Gear Ability has received a special buff that makes it usable in Splatoon 3.
    It enables weapons that have point sensors so it can receive the powerful boost in Run Speed, Swim Speed, Ink Resistance and newly added Intensify Action.
    Weapons like the Splattershot Nova benefit GREATLY from this perk if you can get a splat or assist with it which this weapon is very hungry in that!

    i think the only thing opening gambit needs now is a timer somewhere that tells you how much opening gambit time you have left

    • @calvin2914
      @calvin2914 Рік тому +30

      Just remember that it’s in intervals of 15s. It’s gauranteed til 4:30, then for each splat or assist it moves to the next. 4:15, 4:00, 3:45, 3:30, 3:15, 3:00, 2:45, 2:30, 2:15, 2:00, 1:45, 1:30, 1:15, 1:00, 0.75, 0:50, 0:25, 0:00. If you get 18 splats without letting these intervals pass, you will have it all game long.

      It would be nice if we could reactivate OG if you make the kills/assists needed for that time in the game, example, if you don’t make any kills/assist the first 30 seconds of the game the ability turns off but at the minute 4:00 you make a quad, it would add all the seconds of the kills (15x4=60 seconds) and then OG would reactivate until minute 3:30 (and you can still add more time doing kills/assists), that would make the ability less frustrating to use and more fair without making it too strong or unfair, you can reactivate OG at anytime only if your kills/assists adds the necessary seconds to match the time of the game you’re at, but I doubt the developers will ever touch OG again so we can only dream

    10:52 it does go very well with wiper, with rainmaker being the best example of it. I've been using opening gambit wiper since day 1 of the buff, and it's so much fun. Qr pairs really well with OG, making it so you spend less of your precious OG time respawning and more time fighting. It doesn't work all the time, but it's always fun

    I’ve used it with ninja swim on slayers. You move so fast that you are really a Ninja. The only problem is if people camp heavily in the beginning. It is very hard to get it started. It makes me wish the initial timer was 45 seconds or a min. So many times I would barely miss the kill needed to keep it.

    This weapon does not get actual splats itself, but it makes up for it with map/enemy awareness and assists in spades.
    A main or 2 subs of sub weapon up, mix of swim speed and run speed so you always have a little at least and you will be taking names in no time. It honestly is a pretty fun weapon to play, just a bit gear dependent is all.

    The opening gambit buff is nice, but it's still a race against time when it comes to extending the timer by getting kills. I think that they should replace it with an ability that gives you the same perks for 5-15 seconds after every kill, even if the previous timer had already run out. It would essentially be like the Spy's Big Earner knife from Team Fortress 2, which gives players a three-second speed boost on kill.

    • @sonicrunn3r895
      @sonicrunn3r895 Рік тому

      I think honestly that's an awesome idea. I don’t think they'd do it, at least not for 3, but it would be a great extra layer to possibilities for QR builds. Run full QR/QR SJ if you wanna cause chaos and get back in, run QR comeback if you wanna give yourself an advantage post respawn, or run QR…splat booster (awful with names sorry, calling it that as a placeholder) if you want to go for the risk reward.
      THAT BEING SAID, if it was for every kill it would definitely need to be toned down slightly (maybe to 2 mains of everything and not 3 mains), with 10 seconds max that refreshes for every kill.

    I'd love for OPG to be overhauled or something where if you get a kill or assist (in any combination) twice without dying, it activates for 30 seconds and any kill or assist after that it increases by 15 seconds.

      Splattershot Nova isn't really a slayer tho. In my experience, the real perk to playing Nova is "Oh, hey! It's that new trash can of a Weapon!...Wait, why is my free kill running around the battlefield at 3 Swim Speed Mains an hour?!"
      I found the Nova-ing Gambit combo entirely on my own, all I remembered was Splat2n letting you get a few more seconds off of an assist. In my first match with this combo, I was running out of Ink because there wasn't enough time to reload between two destinations!
      I'm kinda sad that everybody's preaching about it now, since it could get nerfed into the floor next update. If _any_ Weapon abuses it, we could see a nerf to OG, and subsequently hurt Nova...

      It depends. From what I have been told, mobility perks aren't super necessary on Tetras because of the way you move with the weapon, and you should stick with either Comeback or Last Ditch. But if you want to try and feed very early and running lots of QR, any one kill can get you going. It depends if you feel like the mobility perks are better than the efficiency perks.

      The problem is that with nova it's really easy to get an assist at least in the first 30 seconds, but with a slayer if you die first life without getting a kill that's basically the 30 seconds up by itself.

    • @Chibuga
      @Chibuga Рік тому +2

      Yes and no. If you get the kills you become broken.
      Major issue is that in higher level lobbies the other players camp hard in the begining of the match. Effectively making you have to over extend hard to get kills, which leads to you more than likely getting jumped and dying. Wasting the ability.
      At most unless the other team is not paying attention, you are just going to get a trade and leave your team at a disadvantage. Only for you to have to repeat the cycle of trying to rush in for another kill after spawn.
      LDE is way easier and more consistent to use.
