  • Season 1 of XDefiant is now live and with it, we saw a good handful of changes as well as some new content so in today's video, I wanted to go through all of the changes and at least briefly outline the new faction and weapons that came with the season. What are your thoughts on Season 1 and the changes that came with it so far?

      Also would've been useful without being OP. This game seems to really rely on completely OP type abilities. Here's an Ultra that doubles your HP and gives you instantaneous regen, here's a small spider that takes multiple bullets to destroy that completely removes the enemies ability to do anything, here's a freakin' passive that gives you 8 extra damage per shot with fire damage that also hurts your health regen technically and another passive allows you 120 HP. Now Snipers/Marksman rifles are useless going for headshots against GSK? I don't say this often, but the ability/ultra/passive balancing in this game is actually cringe inducing. There is just no balance at all for it, despite the weapon balance being mostly alright.

      When I used to play cod & apex, I would take clips on ps5 when I had a good moment I’d take a 15-30 second clip.
      Funny thing about this game is the only time I feel the need to take a clip, is when I die when already around cover. It’s laughable how stupid it looks and how I know I was around cover. I agree, it’s worse than it was before. This game is fun, but if I sign off angrily when that happens too often, I don’t see the game lasting a while at least for me

      @Will-zi6fn I said it's ehh because Mag Barrier has a longer cooldown, and if they already have the wall up, they usually are ADS'd. Having to use the hijack animation before trying to fight a pre-mag barrier Phantom will never be as efficient as tossing an EMP from around the corner.
      Admittedly, when Hijack does work fast enough, it's always funny watching the Phantom send an angry emoji. Unless there are like 4+ Phantoms on the other team, I'll take Spiderbot and EMPs or just another faction entirely.

    As someone who often is "that guy" with the spider bot. I have played deadsec a lot more than any other faction, and only 2 games or so with highjack. Even I think they buffed the spiderbod too much! And this has nothing to do with the patch notes - but something that I find very problematic!
    Mark is on record for saying something along the lines of "There will be no stealth nerfs or buffs, we will tell you about everything"
    But here we have a significant change to gameplay, and I have seen almost no one talk about it, and certainly nothing from the Xdefiant team about it!
    It used to be, if the spider bot jumped you, you could look down, shoot, and get it off that way. Even that would still take you of the game a bit, but a lot less than if you waited and let it do its thing.
    Now this don't work. So when I as a deadsec follow my spiderbot around and it jumps someone, I know they are fucked! Then add they wont ignore ppl because they jumped them before, and wont be wasted if a teammate also have the bot. Adds up to a huge buff! And even though I cant send out as many as I used to, 40 second cooldown, still leaves me a lot of bots to send out.
    I know. You can shoot it if you see/hear it, some say you can even melee it if times right, you can emp and hack. But often you are sprinting around this game, and you meet it right at a corner with no way to react. I really the feel the oportunity to shoot it off was nice, even if it wasn't a planned feature, it was something we all learned to do, and a good way to do it.
    They could also add some button mash combo you had to push to grap it off your face and throw it away.
    I have never really chimed in on the whine about spiderbot, because while annoying, it wasn't as bad as ppl often made it out to be - but now... Now I am on team "Fuck spiderbot"

    New content is great, but there are 2 huge issues.
    1) New bugs with the update:
    • Several abilities glitch out almost every match and won't recharge for the rest of the match. I've had this with Intel Suit and BioVida today, which are the only abilities I used.
    • Spider Bot can't be shot from your face once again.
    • Significant frame drops on PS5.
    • Increased game crashes on PC.
    2) The competitive side of the game is underwhelming:
    • Ranked has some maps and modes that are not suitable for competitive play.
    • There is no Faction Draft, which I expected to be a no-brainer. No-one wants to play competitive with 8 Phantoms.
    • Top ranks have a max party limit of 2, which makes no sense for a teamwork focused game.
    • Custom games are still not here, which means that competitive teams can't practice or compete.

    Have you noticed that whenever you kill someone with a headshot, a little icon pops up in your crosshair for about 1/4 of a second, which is really annoying as it's very hard to see your reticle in case you're trying to shoot another player after the first kill

    I've been a Hijack main since i unlocked it week 1, and have been waiting for some help. its so incredibly useful when the right situation arises. However, bc of the cooldown it always feels better to hold it for a worse situation. I have counted in TOTAL only 3 other players in any of my games so far playing hijack as well (lvl 75 ive played a bit)
    For those unfamiliar with the power behind Hijack, its not as simple as it sounds. When you use the Hijack ability it will hack EVERY HACKABLE PLACEMENT IN LOS (line of sight)
    In an escort match I had run into a full mag barrier squad and managed to hack 4 of those walls with one hack on a couple occasions. Needless to say each time 4 of their placements became mine.... my team swept those poor souls 😂

    • @Krydolph
      @Krydolph Před 8 dny

      It is not that the highjack is a bad ability. I just feel it is kind of wasted. Other people have to use their abilities, and I have to be there when they do. So while I can clearly see the upside, most of the things the hack can do, an EMP could do too, and on top of that, if I had something else, I could use my ability alot more, and not only when the right situation is there.

    • @psych0tykgaming670
      @psych0tykgaming670 Před 7 dny

      @Krydolph depends on the playstyle I guess, I heavily focus on gunplay and find myself not using abilities at all on most other factions. Leaving me to fallback on biovida boost (which is nice for agressive run n gun) or the hijack, I find that since I've been running hijack I can now semi consistently return Cleaners fire drones (this nets a kill pretty often) so while I agree it can be niche, it still proves to be an incredible utility tool for me that I find no shortage of uses for. That's the beauty of options, other people might prefer to gain info or kill potential from their ability. I personally want something flexible that can unexpectedly turn the tide when I'm going to lose due to an ability. To each their own, I'm just glad the devs are working so hard to balance things 😁

    I haven't played just yet since I got stuff I need to do and also one other game from 2016 was on sale (Its called SUPERHOT for anyone who is curious, great game. 10/10 IMHO) so I had to play that again, but I also think the GSK passive is just gonna be freaking OP and needs not a nerf, but just a complete change.
    Removing headshots from all guns is just simply stupid. No other way to put it frankly. Only way I could see it even remotely working is by making some add health thing to it like 10 extra points to the head, but even then the better ability would of just been something like a Tac Mask or Flak Jacket thing. Not a complete removal of being able to deal headshots to those players.
    Headshots should always be something that is rewarded, and its already bad enough with Phantoms with certain guns. But snipers in particular should always be a one shot kill to the head. I just don't see this working and honestly for competitive play this is even more stupid. Hope they switch that around in the future.
