SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded News

[p]With Season 2 right around the corner, we are excited to announce one more Season 1 Limited Time Event: Skybreaker. Skybreaker is here, and it’s putting your aim to the test.
[/p][p][/p][p]Skybreaker is focused around Instagib. Every player spawns with the Railgun with infinite ammo with near-instant charge time, and each successful shot grants an immediate kill. No loadouts, no weapon swaps. Just you, the Railgun, and your ability to land the shot. Precision Kills also count as eliminations and players can progress multiple challenges at once, so headshot hunters will have an edge climbing the event track.[/p][p]Complete challenges in Instagib to earn points and unlock rewards along the way at 500, 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, 4,000, and 5,000 points. The playable maps for Instagib are: Trihard, Abyss, and Karman Station. As always, players can progress the rewards at a slightly slower pace by playing the game normally.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Hit your shots, stack your points, and grab your rewards before March 20th[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

[p]We polled our community over the last few weeks to gather input on proposed Ranked changes and whether we should change the game modes that currently populate the Ranked Playlist. We heard your feedback loud and clear, and Takedown was the winner of this month’s poll![/p][p]Today we are shifting the Arena Ranked mode from KOTH/DOM/TDM with loadouts to Takedown with even starts (Carbine/Pistol). This change is intended to keep the core arena experience feeling fresh and challenging. Takedown is equally competitive in its own right, and we are excited to see how the players engage with the new Ranked playlist.[/p][p]Additional Details:[/p]

• [p]Your rank will not change, and you will progress the leaderboards the same as before[/p]
• [p]There will be no “rank reset”[/p]
• [p]Ranked Takedown will have even starts and not customizable loadouts[/p]
  • [p]Primary: Cadence Carbine[/p]
  • [p]Secondary: Blink Pistol[/p]
• [p]Ranked Takedown will be 3v3[/p]

[p]We are excited to see the meta form for Ranked Takedown and will be monitoring feedback continuously.[/p]
