Welcome to Splitgate: Battle Royale!

Hey, Splitfam, we told you that we still had another ace up our sleeve and we are so excited that we finally get to share it with you:

Splitgate: Battle Royale!

That’s right, in addition to our core Arena modes like Hotzone and Firecracker, our 24-Player Onslaught modes like Domination, and The Lab (our map creator), Splitgate 2 has a Battle Royale!

HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

• 15 teams of 4 drop in and battle it out to be the last team standing
• At the start, you and your team decide when to drop from an airship flying above Split Worlds, a gigantic map comprised of 5 unique biomes connected by huge World Portals
• You start with just a pistol and collect powerful loot from Chests, Air Drops, and Player Pods that get left behind after you take down an enemy player
• Collect Credits and spend them at Buy Stations for Power Weapons, Upgrades, and more
• Find Armor Plates and Armor Upgrades to stay in the fight longer
• Pick up Portal Gun Upgrades to use your portals to their full potential
• Chests refill with better loot each round, so be sure to keep checking them
• The Ring gradually forces teams together, closing Worlds from play and dealing damage to players who get caught in its path
• If you are killed you can be revived by teammates, and you also have a chance to respawn–but only if your team stays alive
• Lastly, watch out for Events that temporarily change gameplay, like the Portal EMP Event, which disables portals, or the Drop Frenzy Event, which increases Air Drop frequency

A FEW MORE TIPS:

• At the beginning of the match when you drop from the ship, you will travel the direction you’re looking.
• As the match progresses, World Portals will close if they lead to a biome that is outside of The Ring.
• Remember to use your armor! We’ve found that players familiar with the Arena modes of Splitgate 2 sometimes don’t realize you need to press a button to armor up after you take damage (you start with full armor)
• After you’re killed, if you have teammates who are still alive, a countdown will appear for when you’ll respawn back into the action. You’ll respawn near the teammate you’re spectating (and will be blocked from respawning if the ally you are spectating is in combat)

SOME USEFUL KEY BINDS:

• Macro Map: Tap M
• Scoreboard and Inventory: Hold Tab
• Apply Armor: Tap 4 to use your Armor Plates
• Player Pods: Hold F to Revive a teammate; Tap F to loot an enemy or to pick up and carry a teammate’s Player Pod

THE FIVE BIOMES OF SPLIT WORLDS

• Drought – the desert biome
• Fracture – the floating asteroids biome
• Glacier – the snow biome
• Inferno – the volcano biome
• Sanctum – the central ruins
  • Sanctum is filled with special loot and connected to all the other worlds. In our lore, only the Sanctum is on Earth. The other worlds are spread across the galaxy, each connected by giant World Portals at the Sanctum, the hub of Split Worlds. Pockets of geothermal activity, mysterious gravitational patterns, and other emerging anomalies all seem to be connected to the presence of proelium, the mysterious substance that makes portal travel possible.
