Splitgate 2 Factions List and Guide — *Image Credits: 1047 Games, Splitgate 2*

There are three main factions in Splitgate 2: Aeros, Sabrask, and Meridian.

Each one gives you a different playstyle, unique loadouts, and a little flavor of sci-fi lore. They don’t change your base stats, but the weapons, perks, and abilities tied to each faction definitely affect how you’ll play.

If you're wondering which to pick... here's what each faction actually does.

AEROS FACTION

Look Good, Win Often

Aeros are the showboats of the arena.

They come from a peaceful Earth, now turned into a utopia full of music, sport, and style. Their combat focus is speed, precision, and momentum.

If you like to outplay instead of outgun, this is your crew.

SABRASK FACTION

Do What Must Be Done

Sabrask is all about strength, grit, and blowing things up in the name of honor.

These warriors come from Mars, where life’s tough and the guns are tougher. They’re built to hold objectives, survive damage, and push the enemy back with raw firepower.

MERIDIAN FACTION

Perfection Requires Dedication

Meridian is the high-tech faction with tools that can see through walls, heal teammates, and make every second count.

They come from Venus, where domed cities and AI tech keep people alive. Meridian fights smart, using strategy and gadgets instead of brute force.
