Split

These are the 24 callouts the game shows on Split's minimap, the names your team sees in the HUD. Site callouts start with the site letter, so "A Main" is the main entrance to A site.

   • A Main Box
     • Boost box next to the orb has been reduced to give Attackers a new position looking into A site.

     • The under-over area has been removed, making this much easier to deal with as an Attacker.

7. Patch 5.0 June 22, 2022
   • We are temporarily removing Split from the map pool in Unrated and Competitive queues

   • There are reasons! You can read more about our decision in our map pool update article.
8. Patch 3.08 October 19, 2021
   • Attackers at A Lobby in Split could previously hear gunshots from the A Ramps during the buy phase—this was unintended and is now fixed
9. Patch 1.02 June 23, 2020
   • Defender Spawn

   • Collision and Nav Mesh (playable terrain) improvements
10. Patch 1.0 June 2, 2020
    • Restructured mid chokepoint
      • We felt like Defenders were able to effectively plug up the main choke point in mid for a large percentage of the round. The new layout hopes to alleviate this issue. These changes open up the space quite a bit and provides an additional path to get around stalling abilities on the stairs. It also gives Attackers a few different angles to help siege B Tower and Vents.

    • The train station maintenance crew was able to replace the burned out speaker system

    • A certain frog’s head is now a little warmer

    • Expanded our new system that combats map exploits to all other maps—this will eradicate anyone trying to escape the playspace

    • Continued to fix level collision in order to enhance the smoothness of the gameplay space

    • Completed draw call optimizations

    • Also continued to block spots for Cypher’s Spycam that prevented counter-play; as always, huge thanks to everyone who helps us find these!
11. Patch 0.50 May 12, 2020
    • Barrier locations (those clear blue walls) have been adjusted across the map to provide attackers more of a foothold into territory control across the map
      • Defender barrier in B Mid has been pulled back. New barriers are in the entrance to Vent and atop the staircase in B Tower
      • Defender barrier has been pulled back at A Ramps
      • Attacker barrier has been pushed forward at A Main
      • Attacker barrier has been pushed forward slightly at B Main

    • Angled the wall on the left interior of B Tower when pushing up the stairs from Mid
      • This removes a 50/50 angle check when pushing into this space, which should make it more approachable for you to try and gain control of B Tower

    • Radianite crate in B has been changed to a metal crate to provide more cover when planting the Spike

    • Revised art to improve performance throughout the map

    • Added fixes for Cypher Spy Camera exploits to all three maps— a huge thanks to everyone who has helped us track these down, including clutch stream’s we lurked in for two days, writing down every camera placement and fixing them in real time

    • Backside of spawn barriers are now opaque to prevent some abuse cases

    • Added ability for Spike to automatically fall from elevated boost positions

    • Fixed multiple spots where Sova’s Recon Dart could over-penetrate map geometry—another shout out to everyone that helped with these as well!
12. Patch 0.49 April 28, 2020
    • Adjustment Multiple fixes to the geometry on Haven, Bind, and Split to fix exploits and help optimize gameplay
