Proelium is the upgrade currency in Splitgate 2, and it’s used to unlock extra cosmetic options for certain skins. That includes new color variants, visual effects, and other upgrades.
It doesn’t boost your stats... it just makes your gear look cooler.
If you're staring at it in your inventory wondering what it’s for, here's exactly how it works.
What Is Proelium?
Proelium is a cosmetic-only upgrade material.
You can use it to enhance certain character skins and weapon skins that support upgrades. These upgrades include things like:
Alternate color styles
Unique tracer and death effects
Visual animations like reload changes or reactive textures
Jetpack effects or special emotes (for characters)
It’s similar to how Valorant handles skin upgrades, but in Splitgate 2’s case, it’s only tied to specific skins available in the Battle Pass or shop.
How to Use Proelium
To use Proelium, you’ll need to own a skin that supports upgrades.
Right now, this includes things like:
Mythic-tier skins, like the Jackhammer
Weekly rotating skins that support visual unlocks
Skins in Founder’s Packs or future event bundles
Once you own an upgradeable skin, the game will let you apply Proelium in the customization menu to unlock each level of cosmetic change. These are usually unlocked in steps... like first a color variant, then a visual effect, and so on.
You won’t find gameplay buffs in these trees, just style.
How to Get Proelium
There are a few ways to get Proelium, though not all are fully live in the Open Beta:
Battle Pass rewards: Some tiers give Proelium directly
Daily Login rewards: These are expected post-launch
In-game shop: You can buy Proelium for Splitcoin
Challenges: These are listed, but currently not working for some players in the beta
If you’ve already bought a skin that supports upgrades but can’t get enough Proelium yet, you’ll likely need to wait for the challenge system or more login rewards to go live.
Final Blurb & FAQ
Proelium isn’t for getting stronger, it’s for looking cooler. Whether you want custom tracers on your Jackhammer or a jetpack trail that screams “I spent money wisely,” this is the stuff you’ll need.
Just don’t confuse it for a currency that helps you win... it’s strictly for cosmetic flex.
