The mode is round-based with a set weapon loadout, and the first team to 6 points wins. After that, the losing team’s loadout will improve.
The Splitgate Beta Season 1 update boasts other features as well. Such as new challenges, Season 1 referral rewards, and a new Battle Pass. The Beta Season 1 Battle Pass has 100 levels of free and premium tiers. Even more reason to get in on Beta Season 1. Included are new characters, jetpacks, skins, wraps, and other items.
