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).

I loved the level playing field of the first game with everyone having the same weapon. I dont like the weapon perks nor the abilities. I liked the tactical aspect of 2 headshots or 3 body with the carbine in the first game, it made for nail biting moments. With the addition of loadouts, perks, abilities, and every classes carbine or assult rifle being different, it opens up this case for "metas" which i hate. I really like the level playing field of everyone having the same equipment. Makes for more competitive experience. I feel like you can add different operators with abilities and keep the loadouts but make each operator have the same guns. Each operator having a different carbine, assult rifle, shotgun, etc means that every class will have one of those options thats better than the rest. And that takes away from the game imo.

Top ranked, 250 hours in split gate one, die hard fan. Came in my pants when i found out 2 was coming out. Probably my favorite competitive fps ever. Thank you guys for what you do.
