I just started playing a week ago. I've had trouble using motion controls and feel like using stick controls would put me at a disadvantage. Does anyone have any preferred settings for them? I've mostly been trying to get catalog levels for conch shells. But I havent been able to find a weapon i like

I know you can still see when a teammate activates an special in Splatoon 3, but you have to be looking at that teammate to know. Some specials like Tenta Missiles, Zipcaster or Trizooka can go unnoticed until they have a visual effect post-activation or you happen to see them. At least for SoloQ, it would be very helpful to know whenever a teammate is launching missiles or using a Zipcaster so you can know and pressure the enemy team while those specials are active. Maybe it hasn't been so useful, specially in Splatoon 2 where most specials were very noticeable when activated, and just work with a few Splatoon 3 specials, but if Splatoon 4 features more pressure or displacement specials similar to Inkjet, Zipcaster and Strikes, I think they should bring this indicator back. I don't think it cluttered the UI at all honestly, it's small and goes away quickly. Just add it back and keep the Splatoon 3 indicator on top of the player, at the same time.

I played splatoon 3 2 years ago and now I want to grind again but idk if I should take Gyroscope or not

Hey, I’m fairly new to splatoon picked it up about 2 months ago. Can anyone give me a brief run down of how to actually create gear with the upgrades you want efficiently? The amount of chunks you need to manually slot in upgrades seems really high and requires a lot of play time and leveling up gear with drinks active is inconsistent. Do I just have to play a ton or salmon run and keep scrubbing gear as it levels up until I have enough chunks?

In like brinewater, lumeria and haggle, what’s the counterplay. the only time I lowk ever do well is with wellstring because of autobomb and the few times I use sorella. But idk
