You see an enemy in red color and the same on the map. It gets difficult to check the map from where the enemy is shooting. Whenever you are getting a shot arrow above the dot/crosshair means the enemy is shooting from somewhere above you and vice versa.

Its highlighting feature does a great job of revealing enemy locations. Once the enemy is revealed, you can easily kill them through portals or one on one combat.

Tip 5 : Learn Guns and its Locations

Private matches against bots can be used to reveal weapons locations. Guns like the sniper and the rocket launchers are real deal weapons. You need to learn where they spawn. You can play the gun game to try different guns.

Different maps have different spawn locations of guns, so you can always explore the area to find guns, and if the spawn gun is the same as what you own, you collect its ammo.

Tip 6 : Get a good Crosshair

Change crosshair for guns to a one you like. You can change the crosshair in the settings of the UI section. Drag down to find all crosshairs. Learn the map so that you get the best help from the surrounding in a gunfight.

A smaller crosshair makes it easy to hit on the head and deal much more damage than the body and leg hits.

Tip 7 : Enhance Portal

You can only place strong portals on certain walls. These walls are highlighted in blue color as shown above. Use one portal like the left portal for your entry and the right portal as you exit.

Use Q and E to place portals. If you place the portal with one key, then use the other key for the portal. The same key does not create two portals.

Tip 8 : Learn to Use Portal to Find Guns

The race is a training game mode where players run across the map as fast as possible and collect disco balls that appear in a set order. This training mode is developed to have faster movement, better crosshair, and portal placement.

You get a score based on the time you take to collect all the disco balls. Lower time means better performance. There are no guns to spawn, and you also don’t spawn with a weapon.

Tip 14: Portal Placement

Portal Placements refer to how fast and how accurately you use portals to reach a particular destination. Portal Placement can be learned in the Race mode referred to above. With better portal placement, you can travel across the map easily.

Try to use the triple portal as it helps faster rotation, and your movement range increases through triple portals. Spend your time in race mode and develop different strategies to learn portal placement and reach the target.

Tip 15: Quick Scope Vs No-Scope(Sniper)

No-scope is a fancy way to kill your opponent. This also proves how better your aim is. In splitgate, this is not always accurate as your bullet size doesn’t increase when shooting without ADS. So there will be a chance that the bullets will not hit the opponent.

In Quick Scope, you ADS, shoot, and then return to hip fire. In splitgate, when you ADS, your bullet seems to increase the size that means it’s easier to hit the target when you scope in and shoot as compared to no scope.

Tip 12 : Best Settings to use

Screen ModeFullScreen
