Spectre Divide: Best Sponsors For New Players

Summary

Pinnacle International offers familiar aggressive abilities for new players in Spectre Divide.
Morrgen United provides strategic and easy-to-learn sponsor abilities for beginners.
Bloom Technologies offers defensive support with varying tools for holding positions in the game.

Spectre Divide has caught the eyes of many gamers since its launch. In many ways, it is redefining the first-person shooter genre with its strategic aspects and heavy teamwork focus. Some elements are reminiscent of gems like Valorant too. As players control two different bodies on the battlefield, it's their responsibility to be smart with their positioning, tactical in their gun choices, and to communicate with their teams to get the best out of this 3v3 format.

One unique element of Spectre Divide comes from its sponsors. Players can pick and choose between a range of teams, each of which can aid them with individual abilities. Much of how players will choose to play is ultimately decided by this sponsor choice, shifting one's gameplay between defensive or aggressive, depending on their selection. But with so many sponsors available, it can feel overwhelming to know where to begin. Here's a look at the best sponsors for players who are new to Spectre Divide.

5 Pinnacle International

Familiar Aggressive Abilities

Ideal for new players learning the ropes, Pinnacle International offers a set of abilities that many should already be comfortable with from playing other first-person shooters like CSGO or Apex Legends. Starting with the core Splinter Grenade ability, which explodes into 8 splinters doing 40 damage each, it's easy to play offensively with a grenade tool that's familiar. The flash grenade is just as standard, blinding anyone in line of sight and allowing for more aggressive play.

The third ability for Pinnacle International is the Adrena-Link, a spectre-linked stim that heals for 80 health and gives the player's spectres enhanced vision while ignoring weapon move speed penalties. This choice is a little more complicated, encouraging players to get more comfortable swapping between their spectres. But with similarities to Apex Legends' Bloodhound, it doesn't feel too complicated to pick up either.

4 Morrgen United

Strategic But Easy To Learn

With elements of easy learning as well as strategy, the sponsor Morrgen United is a great choice for beginners. Offering one of the best mobile tools in the game, players can throw out a cloud of smoke either with or without their spectre puck, teleporting without a recall line to new locations to make bold pushes or hold angles. The second grenade ability is one of the weaker ones in the game, creating an area of caustic fluid that damages players. It's good for stalling for time, but offers minimal damage output.

Finally, the invisible Hidden Grasp ability is great for almost any situation in the game. By exposing enemies that get too close and creating a slow zone for them to travel to, this recon-based piece of kit makes sure that players can always have one angle covered around them, gathering intel to help players communicate with teammates or friends. What's more, it requires minimal effort to learn.

3 Bloom Technologies

Defensive Support For Teams

Bloom Technologies is a great sponsor selection if players are looking to sit back more and play with a little more patience. With the Swarm Grenade ability, players can create a bubble of smoke that blocks vision and damages enemies that traverse through it. This can block off angles or the ability to diffuse. The Twin Mend ability can be used both defensively and aggressively too, healing either a damaged ally and their spectre, or one's own character for a little less healing.

The most integral ability comes in the Hex Barrier, which all teams should utilize. Blocking bullets, this shield splits into four different sections. It is great for holding an angle that otherwise lacks cover, while gathering intel through its see-through walls. With little thought needed from the player other than selecting a good location to hold, this ability is an incredible way to learn the ropes, and allows players more freedom in positioning.

2 Ryker Industries

Hold Positions With Varying Defensive Tools

Ryker Industries offers a great mix of tools that are perfect for holding positions, particularly when planting. With different hull mines, players can block off certain angles for the enemy team, forcing them to either push through or break their mines, giving intel on where they're pushing from. An arc sentry is equally powerful when it comes to covering angles that players can't, slowing enemies that get within its line of sight and alerting teams to their presence.

The Wave Scan tool is one of the most interesting to use, throwing a sonar spike that will scan enemies through walls for 3 seconds. The alt fire also allows for it to bounce once off a wall, making the positioning harder to track for enemy teams. With this assortment of strategic ways to hold a location, players can sit back a little and learn more about the game before diving into ranked play ready to put their skills to good use.

1 Ghostlink Collective

More Strategic Choices That Appeal To All Levels Of Play

While Ghostlink Collective is one of four sponsors that aren't instantly unlocked when one begins playing Spectre Divide, the kit is still one that beginners wouldn't have too much of a challenge picking up. With their Deadzone ability, players can throw out a large distortion field that blurs the vision of all players inside, creating a static effect that makes it harder for enemies to orient themselves or shoot nearby players. The Partition Wall is equally simple, going through walls and blocking off large sections of the map while distorting vision for anyone that nears or walks through.

The Dupe ability is perhaps the most strategic of the bunch, allowing players to throw out a decoy of their current body, reminiscent of Apex Legends' Mirage. This decoy makes noise and walks in the direction players choose, catching enemies off guard and revealing their positions. If players have a charge remaining, they'll also leave a dupe behind when they puck throw their spectre.
