SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded brings a full rebuild of Splitgate’s progression systems. Our goals were simple. Progress should be easy to understand. Rewards should feel consistent. Long term goals should feel worth chasing. Most importantly, you should be able to make progress no matter how you choose to play. So let’s jump into the new systems that players will see on December 17.
In order to break down progression, we first need to break down some changes to our upgrade currency, Proelium.
Reworked Proelium
Proelium has been fully reworked for SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded. It is now a true progression currency that you earn simply by playing the game. You will gain Proelium from ranking up your Career Level, completing challenges, and progressing through events and the Battle Pass.
You can spend Proelium on a range of cosmetics in the Proelium Exchange. This is a new section of the store where you can spend Proelium directly on weapon cosmetics from a rotating catalog. If you see a look you like in the Proelium Exchange and you have earned enough Proelium, you can pick it up.
By unifying cosmetic color variants, weapon progression, and long term goals under a single currency, Proelium now serves as a reliable path for players who want to build out their collection over time and express themselves in the arena through the cosmetics they choose.
Introducing Career Level
Career Level is your new long term account progression in Splitgate, and it increases as you play any mode in the game. Unlike your rank, it is not tied to skill and does not affect matchmaking. It exists to give players a clear, reliable way to show their time invested in Splitgate and to unlock rewards along the way.
Rookie Levels
The first 75 levels are your Rookie Levels. Think of this as the new on-ramp that replaces the old faction tracks. Rookie Levels are where you unlock the core pieces of the game: weapons, equipment, character skins, and other essentials. If you already earned something in the old system, you keep it. Even if that item now unlocks later in the Rookie track, it will still be available to you on day one. For example, the Blitz Shotgun now unlocks at level 53 in the new system, but if you unlocked Blitz through factions, you can use it as soon as you jump into SPLITGATE: Arena Reloaded.
In addition, all of the XP you put into that previous system carries over here, and the total XP needed to finish the Rookie track is the same as before, so none of your time is lost. That means if you maxed out your factions, you’ll skip right into Challenger Levels. This is where long term progression really opens up, with a much larger climb and new ways to show how long you have been in the arena.
Challenger Levels
From there, Challenger Levels become your main long term path. This track is built for a steady climb with clear goals along the way. As you level up, you will earn additional Proelium and some of the rarest prestige cosmetics in the game, including badges, new color variants for player card titles, and Proelium Character Skins.
Challenger Levels spans 1000 levels and is split into tiers (beginning with Challenger and advancing to Prime III) that highlight how long you have been in the fight. Every 100 levels moves you into a new tier:
Challenger
Veteran I
Veteran II
Veteran III
Elite I
Elite II
Elite III
Prime I
Prime II
Prime III
Whether you play a few matches a week or grind every day, Challenger Levels give you a clear sense of progress and an easy way to show your history with Splitgate every time you load into a match.
Expanded Weapon Levels and Unlockable Camos
Every weapon now has an expanded leveling path. As you use a weapon, you gain XP for it. Leveling up that weapon unlocks attachments and new camos for each weapon. Within the track players will find 3 earnable camos that unlock with continued play with those weapons. Each of those camos will have 3 additional colorways unlocked via Proelium, offering up to 12 new earnable looks per weapon.
Mastery Camos Across All Weapons
Weapon Mastery was something we added during the beta, but many players never got to experience progressing through these challenges. Every weapon now includes a full suite of Mastery challenges, including our new LMGs.
The structure is straightforward. Complete challenges for a weapon as you use it. Finish each tier of camo to unlock the subsequent tier’s challenges. Complete the full set of challenges and you unlock that weapon’s Mastery camo. These camos are designed to be aspirational, obvious in a match, and a clear showcase of your dedication. While each gun will have Carbon, Gold and Proelium camos at launch, we have plans to expand these challenges even further in a coming update.
Bringing It All Together
All of these changes build toward a progression system that feels clearer, more flexible, and more rewarding the longer you play. Whether you are chasing mastery, leveling weapons, collecting cosmetics, or just jumping in for a few matches, your time always moves you forward.
