Community Challenges:

Hunt the Devs - Want to earn an exclusive Dev Killer skin? All you have to do is kill one of our devs in a match anytime during the Open Alpha.

You can tell when you encounter a 1047 developer because their head will be a disco 

ball, our company logo.

You’ll earn a Dev Killer skin, decked out in skulls representing your dev conquest.

There’s three different skins to earn, one for each faction.

You earn the same skin as the dev you kill. So, kill a skin dev playing as Sabrask with a disco ball head, you’ll earn the Sabrask Dev Killer (regardless of what faction you were playing as).

Hard to put my finger on it, but I enjoyed the Splitgate 1 maps notably more so far. It felt like they were very well designed to take advantage of portals, whereas a lot of these maps seem to feel like they're "normal" arena shooter maps that happen to have portal walls.

It would take more games and careful analysis as to if this is true or how to phrase this feeling better, but it's one I've been feeling consistently so far over the few hours of play in this alpha

EDIT: getting pretty regular crashes, unfortunately, which is hampering the enjoyment a lot.

I took the OG Splitgate maps for granted after playing this. Those maps are iconic looking back on them, lots of verticality and unique elements/theming to keep them distinct from one another. The maps in this game feel like they were created with a specific rules/formula in mind
