A new update for Splitgate has left one of its exploits in the dust. The latest patch eliminated portal ripping from the game. Other enhancements include a better-looking EMP grenade effect and many CPU optimizations.

One of the game's most popular features is the ability to teleport anywhere on the map by putting down portals. With perfect timing, you can easily eliminate your opponents quickly. Unfortunately, some have used that a bit too much to their advantage and have been able to exploit it using multiple portals.

For example, you may place portal A at a weapon spawn spot, and it will remain there while you use portal B to go across the map. It takes a little practice and timing to get it right, but it's 100% repeatable.

The game's developers had admitted it wasn't part of the original game and was instead a bug that has been cleaned up in Patch 6.2.0.
