Best gadget for Otis
52.0% of Otis players equip Phat Splatter. A gadget has no cap on uses in a match, just a cooldown between them, so the choice comes down to which effect is worth reaching for again and again. The other option, Dormant Star, sits at 48.0%.
Best gears for Otis
SHIELD leads the gear slot at 31.5%, with DAMAGE (28.2%) close behind. Gears add a smaller boost rather than a new effect, so this pick fine-tunes the build more than it redefines it.

What players who own Otis have unlocked, counted from tracked profiles over the last 30 days.
