By Gamers are uncovering more than just portal-centric maneuvers in Splitgate 2’s latest beta – they’ve discovered that you can unexpectedly unleash a loud, unmistakably pfft-like fart when you crouch.
You might recall Splitgate as the captivating FPS frequently labeled as ‘Halo meets Portal’ due to its retro competitive arenas, sci-fi arsenal of weapons, and portals that can be positioned almost anywhere on the map to flank or surprise adversaries.
Well, the free-to-play sequel’s beta is available now and the developers have managed to incorporate one butt-clenching crucial alteration to the formula: farting butts.
On social platforms, 1047 Games associate producer Jesse Griefenberg declared that there’s around a 1% probability you might pass gas while crouching, “so you may hear it at any moment in the game if you crouch once.” A squat has indeed been known to assist with constipation, after all. However, if the ‘brap’ and ‘thrrp’ sounds become excessively frequent, Griefenberg suggests the team might tone it down to “1-in-200 or something.”
I think we did like 1 in 100 chance of it happening, so you may hear it at any point in the game if you crouch once. We may do like 1 in 200 or something if it occurs too often https://t.co/QBuoXdhyaCMay 23, 2025
For the moment, why don’t we all collectively attempt to develop some form of meta around this innovative new component? The next time you engage in a round of Splitgate 2, position a portal behind your foes and then repeatedly hit the crouch button to distract and/or repulse them, paving the way for your allies to eliminate them from the other end. I dub it the Asshole Pincer tactic (Assportal Pincer was appealing, too).
All this chatter about flatulence led me into a poop-themed rabbit hole on GamesRadar+ that ended with me discovering this fantastic 2008 article simply named Gaming’s Most Important Farty Butts. If only Splitgate 2 had been released two decades ago, it could’ve competed against Wario’s enormous butt burps.
