Hi Splitfam! Even though this is the final major update to Splitgate, we still have a bunch of patch notes to share. If this is the first time you’ve heard about a final update, check out our recent letter and FAQ. Those two sources will tell you why Splitgate development is ending, why 1047 Games is focused on the next game, and some other questions you might have. If you’re already informed, let’s talk about what’s new!

Like our previous seasonal updates, there’s a new Battle Pass, some gameplay tweaks, and a ton of bug fixes. The main difference with this update is our focus on making Splitgate last for the long-term without new features. Earlier this week we revealed the free Infinite Battle Pass and the new duplicate item drops system. Read all about it in our previous blog or keep reading about it in the patch notes below.

• New, free 100 level Battle Pass complete with three new characters, weapon skins, Splitcoin, and more
  
• After completing 100 levels, the Battle Pass will reward players with a free drop every 5 levels after that, infinitely
  
• Premium Season challenges are now free - this means all parts of the Battle Pass are free for everyone
  
• High-quality brand new character season reward for completing all “Free” tier challenge stages
  
• Added Beta Season 2 Ranked Reward gun skins, will distribute sometime after the Sept. 15 update

• Bullet size no longer increases when being shot through a portal
  
• Improved melee damage connections around portals

• New Simulation Map “India”

• Added “Download Map” button to custom lobbies for the host
  
• Added “Promote to Host” button for custom/forge lobbies

• Fixed issue that prevented bots from moving at the start of a game on some custom maps

‍

• Added a No Portals playlist to Quick Play, which includes
  
• Retro Domination

• Retro King of the Hill
  
• Retro Capture the Flag
  
• Removed the Fiesta playlist

‍

• Added many more items to the item drop pool
  
• New duplicate item system introduced to drops:
  
• If a drop would give the player a duplicate item, instead, it’ll give XP with a chance of Splitcoin depending on the rarity

• Added new nametags
  
• Added moderator skins for the Splitgate moderator team

Added the following game modes to the game for future featured playlists:

• Laser Flag
  
• Laser Ball
  
• Grif Flag
  
• FFA Snipers

That’s all for this update, so what’s next for Splitgate? First, expect a post-update hotfix to resolve unexpected issues that may come from today’s release. That will come in the following weeks. After that, Splitgate won’t be receiving any more updates unless a widespread, game-breaking bug needs fixing. A game-breaking bug is any issue that prevents a large number of players from playing the game. Other than that, our engineers and artists are completely focused on the next game.

But that’s not the end of Splitgate’s story! Servers are staying up indefinitely, and the community team and I will continue to cycle featured playlists, update the item shop, put community made maps on rotation, and host community events! We’ll continue to pay close attention to any feedback you have about featured playlists and events by giving the community surveys and polls on Twitter and Discord. Definitely follow us there to stay up to date!

Beta Season 1 has been a long time coming, for both us at 1047 Games and for the Splitgate community! 5 months ago, we released Beta Season 0 with Karman Station, its Battle Pass, and a few other additions like the Contamination game mode.

• Map Creator mode enables players to make their own custom maps in a new blank-slate level called, "Flat Earth"
  
• Place a wide variety of map geometry such as ramps, walls, floors, blocks, props, and more
  
• Place a variety of portal surfaces such as cubes, walls, ceilings, and floors
  
• Place weapon pads
  
• Move objective spawners for objective-based game modes like CTF, Oddball, Domination, and King of the Hill
  
• Save, rename, and play your maps in Custom Games

• Reimagined Foregone Destruction with new art and design
  
• Complete visual overhaul of Foregone Destruction
  
• Adjusted the level layout
  
• Added weapons, a jetpack, and portal gun named "Estranged" to compliment Foregone

• Beta Season 1 Battle Pass
  
• 100 levels with free and premium tiers
  
• New characters, jetpacks, skins, wraps, and items
  
• New Beta Season 1 referral rewards
  
• Added new challenges
  
• Distributed ranked player rewards from Beta Season 0

It’s an incredible day for everyone at the studio! All the progress we’ve made during the Beta was no small task, and all that work has resulted in what you’ll see in Season 0. On to the Patch Notes!



Karman Station – A reimagining of the original map, Outpost. Karman Station replaces Outpost on our roster of Maps. Those of you who played before the Beta will recognize the similarities, but most importantly, the improvements!



Season 0 Battle Pass – The Battle Pass has 100 Levels of brand-new items, exclusive to the Pass! Included in the Pass are: New Armors, Weapon Skins, Name Tags, Banners, and a Portal Skin! Season Challenges are fully unlocked with the BP!



Contamination – New asymmetrical mode with two teams. The “Contaminated” team starts with Bats only and seeks to frag the “Human” team, who have shotguns. When a Human team member dies, they respawn on the Contaminated team. Game ends when time runs out or if all players are contaminated.

Casual Team Rumble – A new casual playlist with various game modes too wacky for normal casual! Game modes include Contamination, Big Head Snipers, Splitball, and more!

Final Kill Cam – Feature added by popular demand, you can now see the final kill of the game!

Pistol Rework – Balance Changes: Fully Auto, .125 fire rate,15.5 body, 17.5 head

Overtime – King of the Hill, VIP, and Oddball now has Overtime.

Doing all Daily Challenges gives a drop.

New Referral Pass – 9 Levels with new items! New referrals will only count towards the new referral pass.

Hill Mesh updated.
