Tips for the homies, running with your secondary to objectives is crazy fast, especially with the M9. I use the RPK, so this is a must for me.
I picked up on this the other day. The difference in speed is crazy
how fast did it take you to get the RPK??
@@envy6727 pretty fast. I think I had to do 10,000 damage. Shoot all shields and everything else. Should get it in a few matches
@@CallMeMonti didn’t know shooting shields counted as damage toward unlocking the rpk
@envy6727 tbh I'm not 100% sure it does, but I just shot anything that moved and got it in 3 games I think
They need to add pinging into this game, even if it's just to people in your party. You can't have a team based game with no way to communicate with teammates.
Agreed! I keep trying to ping like in COD
Yes. Please.
no way to communicate? .. well.. this game has ingame voice and for ranked that's pretty much essential
@@CaptainMumpitz that's a good point tbh. But I'd rather not have people hear my dog or fiancé. I also haven't heard anyone talk yet
@@CallMeMonti I do have VOIP off as well, for the same reasons.
12 year olds screaming into a 5$ microphone while their mom shouts from the balcony in the background because the dog shat in front of the door? No thanks.
But for proper teamplay in ranked it would be crucial
Wish they had kill cams in the game. I like to watch them early on in a game cycle to learn from them
Same!! I have learned so much from watching kill cams. Can't wait for this to be in the game
Everyone does the same thing just jump around and spring and slide everywhere
Mark rubin confirmed they are working on killcams but said its actually a difficult thing to code
Stop copying other people and stop rage revenge killing and actually get good at the game the legit way.
@SuperYtc1 killcams can help with reducing cheating. You are aware xdefient has a serious hit reg problem , in case you aren't aware, emptying half a mag into someone and still getting killed isnt fair. I've also died behind cover and around corners. I used the shotgun at close range only to get a hitmarker and then get killed by a guy with a pistol??? The hit reg is inconsistent and having killcams would allow people to record thier game footage to help ubisoft with thier net code and anticheat . Killcams aren't just in cod, many games have it. It would also be nice for xdefient to include a play of the game camera, see who helped thier the team the most. I want xdefient to succeed, its better than call of duty but it could be improved
Tip for the homies below. So you'd think the Echelon faction (Splinter Cell) is all about suppressors and running around solo. No, the passive, Low Profile, means any and all actions that would normally ping you on the radar are completely negated.
This means suppressors (except if you want to reduce your noise) are absolutely pointless. Go for another muzzle attachment.
Also the MP5A2 beginner class has the full-on suppressor which reduces your effective range drastically. The light suppressor does not have a damage range issue.The mag, light weight, and all the other goodies are fine, but that suppressor totally neuters your gun. Make a custom build and slap a red dot asap. I performed so much better because I had more range and a better sight picture vs being reliant on useless attachments (for Echelon).
Also to piggy back Ace, emp will stop those Phantoms very, very nicely. Fisher would be cackling over destroying mag walls and shield. A defenseless Phantom is a dead Phantom.
Good tips brah 🤙🏽
Oh and if you wanna be a complete gremlin on the field. Get the cloak and run around with a shotgun, especially in the tournament map. You'll earn your Sonar Goggles very quickly, agent.
Gonna make this a tip thread since your top comment.
Know your weapon class.
If you're running an Assault Rifle kit, know that you excel in medium engagements.
If you're running a Shotgun or SMG, know that you excel in close engagements.
If you're running a DMR or Sniper, know that you excel in long-range engagements theoretically(game balance for these guns are off and they will 1-2 tap you in close engagments as there is very little flinch in the game)
What this means is, if you're getting smoked by some guy running a Vector the whole game, and you're running an Assault Rifle, you need to either switch weapons to a Shotgun or SMG or you need to capitalize on your distance advantage. The vector and all close engagements weapons have a massive damage drop off the further you are from there so keep that in the back of your mind as you're playing. If you have the opportunity to get down a narrow short hallway or an open distant field, you want to go down the open field. That is because if that Vector player chooses to engage you there, you will be able to capitalize on the distance between the two of you and put more damage down on them before they can kill you. Now had you chosen to run down the hallway, Vector player pops out of a doorway and mag dumps you before you can even pull your gun out.
To add onto this, know what map you're playing.
A map like Liberty tends to be open, excellent for medium-long range play but somewhat difficult for close engagement weapons so if you had to choose in a competitive environment, you'd go with a rifle over an SMG. Then you have Echelon's HQ or Arena, a close engagement weapon's wet dream. Narrow hallways, sharp turns, funnels, and plenty of cover all to the benefit of a mobile SMG player who can bob and weave through the cover while reloading to continue mag dumping. Don't take a rifle in this situation take a close engagment weapon.
Make sure you swap kits throughout the game to match the situation, if you're playing escort and you are on the attack, take a Phantom character with a Rifle and sit down on your shots whereas if you're defending get a close engagement weapon and stay in the enemies face so they can't effectively push the objective.
Who let you cook like this 😮💨 your actions must be studied lmao
Jokes aside this is amazing advice at any level. Put the ego aside 💯
@@Lewis-ec5snI was worried this would be a fun game to pick up on the weekend for the boys. I’ll let em know it’s for people without full time jobs and a spreadsheet.
I hate the way people play cod. Xdefiant is refreshing and I’m genuinely having fun playing hot shot
Hot shot is one of my favorite modes
In CoD, Hardpoint or Kill Confirmed mode 90% of the time I'm the top player, everyone else is just lying low trying to collect a few kills or doing challenges. In this game, however, 50-75% of the team is constantly playing objective.
@@Birodalom1yea cuz k/d doesn’t seem to matter to people on this game. People actually playing the game
yea so less camping and throwing lethal tactical
Im seeing more and more cheap bunny hopping trick crap in this game. Its ruining the game
OG COD player here having a blast on XDEFIANT! Thanks for the tips Ace!
Same! I love how the game massively rewards shot placement and accuracy. Don’t get me wrong, the game needs some work, but I have been having a blast, thus far.
Same here. Xdefiant is so refreshing, it's like playing cod nearly 20 years ago again, it's so much fun
@@Bullwinkle39no one played CoD 20 years ago
@@bobdarrick2628 are you sure about that? Really really sure?
@@bobdarrick2628 are you sure about that? Are you really really sure?
My favorite thing about XDefiant is when I play for several hours, hundreds of kills, to see that the gun I used the entire time is still at level 1.
lol my m4a1 hasn’t left level 2 been playing with same gun
Physically impossible, I dropped 61 kills in 1 game and it leveled up 4 times.
not possible guns lvl up pretty quick if ur good at the game
The weapon levelling does feel a lot more grindy than cod. But so far it hasn't killed the enjoyment for me.
Yeah it’s a grind I’m lvl 28 and only been using one gun and just got it to lvl 40
If you are struggling at the game just keep pushing. It is OK to not be good at every game you play. Get used to the movement, the guns, etc and you will get better eventually. Do not give up or blame the game for you being bad at the beginning.
Youre going to have the usual COD sweats on here and they will bash you on the KD. I dont care as there is nothing to be competitive unelss they have a tournament or something. good motivation hermano
@@CCM1199 there is a ranked mode man.
So true. I'm a hell let loose vet and loving this game
Game has a lot of cheese tho. Two shot weapons need to go. Snipers are too easy to use and shit like shields that you can shoot through but enemies can’t is lame
@@i_amChrisJxmes no it does not. GET BETTER. Stop making excuses and taking the easy way out.
This game is a blast from the past. My buddies and I haven’t had this much fun in lobbies since BO3 lol the no skill based changes everything
If you have trouble tracking enemies, try to switch to some color-blind mode (don't know which one), every enemy then shows up in bright yellow instead of red which sometimes goes well with the background
deuteranopia :)
12:39 I still remember when I first heard Ace give the mindset advice back in the BO3 days. I stopped blaming everything else for my problems. Smiled and laughed at situations that would've previously made me mad. Genuinely looked at how I can learn from my mistakes. It improved me as a gamer, but also as a person. I applied it to my education, sports, and relationships. I feel like that kind of mindset has slipped away from me recently and hopefully I can pick it back up. Thanks Ace!
The red dots are virtually invisible as they blend into the background.
That and some characters are completely immune to radar, like they're running ghost.
@@alexfrimershtein347Echelon (Splinter Cell) faction's passive hides them from the mini-map regardless of action performed. Firing weapon, gun kills, melee kills, damaging equipment, killing ultimates, kills with ultimate, ability / equipment kills, etc., they're literally invisible to the mini-map 24/7 and don't need to run suppresor on their guns.
They also have invisibility cloaks / active camo as an ability choice. Which can only be countered by EMP grenades or damaging them, they aren't too hard to see up close, but can get blend-in with the background at further distances; you'll just see a slight blur if they're far away.
Definitely agree with that. The minimap is something I tend to look at all the time in when I play an FPS game.
Before XDefiant came out I was playing TF2 and looking at it was super easy to see and not at all hard, in fact sometimes it felt distracting. For a closer comparison game style wise the same was true for Black Ops 3 and even a bit for BO4. Yet for XDefiant it feels like the minimap just isn't there because its so hard to even see any of the red dots or teammates dots period.
I hope they up the size and contrast a bit more so it can come into play overall. Because I barely even look at it anymore despite being someone who used it constantly ever since they had started playing CoD since Black Ops 1 on the Wii and 360 days and even on other games like shooters for the Wii like The Conduit and even a little bit of GoldenEye.
@@CmoIsDaNam3i i'm glad i'm not the only one who feels like teammates aren't easy to quickly identify on the minimap
Yeah the minimap fucking sucks, too hard to see anything, it's like a mini-minimap
Thanks for the tip on the EMP grenade, I hadn't even looked at that.
Yup can’t wait till I unlock it. Those dang shields man lmao 🤣 almost as bad as the sonar ping
Bro I didn't even know that🫨 guess ill be running that from now on
Biggest thing I want is more love for solo players. It needs to SHOW WHOS PARTIED together in pre game lobby. Currently it has no way to see if you're against a party. That shouldn't be hidden information. Either that or add a mercenary playlist. If not, as a solo player that might push me away from this game. I don't wanna play parties then get bad teammates on top of that.
This 100%. I’m so sick of getting 50-60 kills with 3k objective score and breaking 10k score and losing cuz no one on my team can go positive unless they stay away from damn objective.. oh look at my 3-4 KD with 200 obj score. If that. Ego Shitters.
I'm a COD player myself and just tried Xdefiant tonight for the first time, and dear oh dear, your tips are all excellent X. You da man. I always learn something ❤
It’s so refreshing to be absolutely smashed on by another player and know it’s not due to an algorithm which decided your date, the players were matched against based on connection are simply better
Very detailed and well put! TY that was awesome
A thing i came to really like is how you can react to getting killed, i usually actively try to think how it made me feel and choose accordingly, really helped me to relieve some emotions and stay focused instead of tilting
couldn't have said it better
The sonar pluse is Mad op. Like low budget wallhacks.
I appreciate this type of video its not someone just saying get good its someone actually giving you helpful tips.
One thing people often forget is this isn’t cod. It plays similar but it has its own identity and style. It’s more akin to an objective based hero shooter like overwatch, but with the class customization of standard arcade shooters. It’s a nice mix that imo blends the gameplay elements very well. It’s also has satisfying gunplay and team dynamics
This is an awesome video. I know that it’s aimed at “beginners” who have a couple of hours on FPS games but honestly, I know so many people who have several days on COD that don’t do half of these tips which is worrying!
Some games cause us to learn really bad habits. After watching this video, I realize I have after binging hundreds of hours on COD's small map Playlist, despite having thousands of hours of fps experience
The last bit of advice "focus on the things you can control" is also good general life advice!
Thank you so much I can’t wait for the gun guides you will make, would really appreciate that!
Don't give up! I'm a really average player (for example I had to stop playing Apex Legends simply because I can't keep up with all the movement tricks in that game, I like pointing and shooting lol) and my first 20 or so games in Xdefiant were always me bottom fragging and high skilled players just bullying me. I kept at it, unlocked some attachments that helped, and learned the game and classes better, and now I make play of the game and top fragger 7 times out of 10. So keep it at m'bros!
I really enjoy these Xdefiant videos!!!
Based off the last half of this video, I think it’s an awesome opportunity to bring back your old gameplay analysis series! I’d really love to see some real world do’s and dont’s for the less aware newer players based on regular peoples clips. I learned a decent amount from those videos, would be cool to see it again.
Much appreciate the information 👊🏿
great video, Ace. One tip I would add: because the ttk is much higher in this game compared to COD, you need to be more aware of the gun you have. If you have an AR, try to avoid close range areas of the map because you will lose to SMGs. Likewise, if you have a close range gun, try to avoid open areas because longer range weapons will destroy you.
Thx for the tips bro I've been trying to figure out the hit detection and why my hits aren't registering but help me out 💪👍
Netcode is buggy rn, I assume they will clean it up
Much appreciated King 🎉
Solid video
-Thanks X
Thank you so much!
spittin big facts in this one 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That last tip is not only a good tip for this game but a good tip for life
🤣🤣
Very helpful video. Very helpful comments
Good stuff ace
cheers for the tips, I'm dying a lot, especially in games with objectives but enjoying the game.
Honestly not having SBMM is mentally refreshing. Playing cod and overwatch it feels like no matter what I do, the match has already been manipulated and makes it more exhausting to play knowing I have to hard carry and still lose. With no SBMM I blame nothing and I’m having a blast just KNOWING the outcome wasn’t predetermined. I guess attitude is everything, but I’m enjoying this more than I should. Reminds me of Crysis 2 multiplayer for some reason. Just fun and not too serious.
Damn, you are such a good teacher.
I've been playing shooters for a long time, and TBH I'm struggling more in this game than most. I find the mid air strafing and constant jumping super annoying. Trying to adjust and push through the frustration. The game has a ton of potential. I hope they keep improving and polishing.
I am 30 and can still react and jump shot back? How've you been playing for years yet can't do a jump shot lmao
@@kezzab7961 its just not fun to start bunny hopping every where. At least in apex movement takes skill but here just bind jump to scroll wheel with little movement penalty
@@unityman3133 I do it on controller with no added buttons lad
@@kezzab7961 Check back in with me in 13 years when you're 43 and let me know how that reaction speed is my man. Lol. Enjoy your 30's. :)
@danbeforetime shit, I'm 53 and have come over from hell let loose but am still having fun and doing OK
That last tip is HUGE. Always blaming other people or situations is something that most people fall victim to. Its hard to break the habit but if you do then you will improve quite alot, and more often that not, enjoy the game more!
Great vid Ace.
some tips I'd give regarding Phantom abilities based on my experince playing as and against them
1) A phantom's mag wall blocks bullets both ways, so always try and shoot around it. Also if you're using grenades it won't block them, so you can use them to either kill a phantom using their mag wall or at the very least force them to move into an uncomfortable position away from it. EMPs will also disable them entirely and allow you and your team to gun them down with relative ease. (Also if you can work around the innately slow movement speed, try using an LMG if you're constantly dying to phantoms with mag walls set up as they'll shred through them faster and if you also have one set up will help compensate for you maybe being the only one shooting at them or allow you to destroy their's and then subsequently them first. But be warned: the belt fed LMGs have 9 second reloads and the RPK starts with only a 45 round mag.)
2) A phantom's ultimate hard limits their range, so you can get fairly free damage on it so long as you're not in or close by to the dome. And like the mag wall, it doesn't block grenades, except unlike the mag wall they move very slowly so a well timed grenade in the dome will very likely kill them and any allies of their's who're close by. Also, try to get rid of their allies first if you can do so as they're VERY MUCH relying on them to kill you if you're far away. Lastly, if I'm not mistaken EMPs do not disable ultimates so don't try to use an EMP against them because you'll just give them and their allies a free or much easier kill due to the time you have your gun lowered when throwing one.
3) Force riot shield phantoms to get into either open areas or bait them into getting themselves surrounded. If you can get your teammates to help you then they'll very likely end up DOA. But try not to let them get too close to your teammates, and if they try to focus your teammates before killing them use that chance to shoot them. I *think* you may be able to shoot through the glass hole on the shields but I very rarely encounter people using said shields, but even then you can still shoot their heads and feet if you jump (or are above them) or aim low enough, however jumping would require you to be very close and likely end in your death if you don't one shot them.
You can shoot through the shields as the Phantom player using it I've tested it. BUT it seems inconsistent. :(
can you save custom setups for guns to equip quickly later like COD or do you have to re equip all the attachments when you wanna re equip a gun again?
Lot of times in tactical based shooter, the scapegoat is always inept teammates, for a lot of the same reasons mentioned here. Not wanting to play the object, not pushing objectives and simply wanting to turle back and camp corners.
You said it as well. That simply camping and getting a high k/d is only going to take player so far in this game.
It's also going to negativity affect other players and thier ability to do well in the game. Because there is only so much a single player actually can do, when thier teammates aren't helpful at all.
Sad part is, a lot of players are going to jump into xdefiant with that COD mindset. Because that is what the game is being marketed as.
The game is way more in line with a game like Overwatch than COD.
Unfortunately that seems to be the part of the game that's least fun, the OverSuck elements. The part of the game that feels most like playing COD is awesome.
For the slower TTK topic, try using an attachment that increases rate of fire... I found that added recoil is pretty negligible, and I can outgun SMGs up close a lot more frequently now...
TTK is not slow. The weapon balancing in this game is some of the worst. You can melt people pretty easily with the right weapons, and of course the bad ones won't feel as good.
People, if this game feels amazing in movement, it's because of Ace helping in designing that subject, so thank you my man \m/
What’s up Ace glad to see ya watched ya years ago !
My biggest complaints about this game are the controller aiming and hitreg. Even on Standard, small movements seem super exaggerated, so I'm struggling with precise aim
Turning my min threshold way down and putting my ADS multiplier to like .5 made the aiming feel a lot better. The netcode is still ass though, and the recoil is really weird in this game
Yaay!!! More Xdefiant!!
I swear i die everytime i look at minimap
😂 same
Exactly why I never use it. Im uses to shooters that don't rely on mini maps.
CoD Timing still persists, even in another game
The TTK is not slow. One shot and done
@@brawler5760 COD Lol
Thought this game was DOA..? lol looks healthy to me
Say that in 2-3 months from now. 🤣
Even if it "dies" in two or three months, dead on arrival would still be wrong. 🤣
It's the honeymoon phase. Give it a month or two and we'll see
@@xxPhoenixX-sg9trbait + trying too hard
Nah it prob be dead when bo6 come out bc you know how big that game will be but hope xdefiant success long term so call of duty have to do something to stay on the top of FPS .
As someone who primarily plays tactical shooters now it took a couple hours to adjust and forgot about minimaps 😂😂 So this definitely helps me. Playing HLL requires different habits so I appreciate this video a ton
Just wish there was a way to move minimap separately from other hud elements. It's so far away out I can't see it without removing vision from what's in front of me or might might pop up. And I don't want to get other hud elements too close. So hope they patch and gives us a way to move everything.
Ace is giving life advice...❤
Tips I’ve got just from playing, low sens with mid-high dpi goes crazy, learn the recoil patterns, and strafing while shooting is op
Hey Bro, Im a new content creator and I really admire the stuff your doing, your an inspiration !
I’m really loving this game so far. I don’t know if it’s because we just had back to back MW2 and MW3 but it feels refreshing.
I also love how everyone on the teams are actually playing for the objective. Nobody is sitting and really camping other than snipers or people regenerating health. But the game keeps things moving and I’m all for it.
Only gripe so far, and not sure if it’s just me but in game voice chat sounds muffled and very inconsistent. May need to hop on Discord but sound quality for voice chat isn’t great.
I've personally been both used to the way the bullets work In xDefiant but also REALLY feeling the latency issues with the bullets seemingly not connecting at all.
If you're turning your screen slightly to the left or right while consistently shooting, you'll see what I mean. The bullets are about a half sec away from where you're aiming at the time you pull the trigger while turning your screen to shoot.
This basically means that unless someone Is right In front of you, you need to be leading your shots by half of a character model against who ever you're shooting to stay consistent. The bullets do not come out as fast as the older COD games do. Keep that In mind !
Do you use mouse and keyboard? It has been really rough trying to dial in aim.
Used to watch ur vids back in 2012..then I switched to overwatch, now that I started playing xdefiant ur vid popped up
Watched this video. Changed my settings started straffing and jumping more dropped 49 kills with 9 deaths 2 streaks above 10 and got player of the game cheers ace!
The hit detection for me has been dreadful. Ive been getting shot around walls every single game and its almost unplayable. Is this a common issue or something on my end?
Its a known problem your not alone on that one
Same, a little bit of bullet curving is one thing but there are times I make it VERY far behind a wall with like half health and then I just die
I get shot around walls all of the time. Basically you have to change your mindset of last second cover, that isn't going to save you. Instead I fully commit to duels and that has helped
Check challenges in the profile section for weapon and skin unlocks. Also as others have stated, switching to your pistol makes your movement speed much higher and this also affects your movement while using the shield with the phantoms. This helped alot in getting the 25 kills for the rhino skin for phantom. And counter shield point: shield users can not crouch, shoot their legs, also their sides are pretty exposed too.
Don't beat yourself up if you were killed by someone using a sniper. There's no flinch in the game so a skilled sniper is going to win any 1v1 because they 1 tap leaving no time for you to put damage down, the only time you may have a chance is if you get the drop on them but again, there's no flinch so their camera will remain steady rather than jerking up despite being shot allowing them to flick to you really quick.
Yeah thats my biggest issue with the game currently. Also may be made worse by the rough connections in many matches.
Immediately deleted the game after my second match was full of snipers. Just like COD 🤦 fps games are so dead
The sniping is really frustrating :(
Snipers as they are currently have no place in a game like this imo
I noticed how wicked snipers are. No flinch? Really? I just assumed (reasonably) that they were just way better than me. Probably are too. But 0 flinch mechanic is not good.
This was all great. Subbed
This is the second video. I've heard you say that spawns are intuitive. Why do i feel like im getting shot in the backnout of spawn constantly. Are they flipping as soon as i run out? Is the hot shot mode? Im always runnig into people's faces but always getting shot in the back
sounds like you are either playing the wrong gamemodes or have utterly no gamesense. learn to play and learn how the maps work before spewing your stupid comments
Flanking, usually. I've noticed people flank a lot more often in this game than others because you can't just instantly drop to the ground when you see someone. Unlike CoD if it's gonna spawn one person at the enemy spawn to flip them, it'll do so with everyone else too. It's also way harder to hear people than it should be given ib my experince you can't always trust footstep sounds not to just be friendly footsteps or even your own in some cases.
@caramelgrace2156 I switched to domination and the spawn deaths have slowed down. Thanks for your advice
The aiming took some getting used to been playing a lot of halo haven’t played cod in years so I was happy when I tried this. I was doodoo at first lmao. But it’s just some adjustment to the physics. Good stuff
I know it do well view wise but you should make an in depth general (not game specific) spawn guide for how to actually figure these things out like you mentioned
Good looks ace
That D50 is underrated and sounds so good when you fire it.
Reminds me of the old cod games. I always prefer a simple shooter. And this nails it so far. It has work to do though but its early!
You're gonna do a full faction breakdown at some point right?
The one thing that I really really want is more control over my mouse sensitivity. Currently there is just a long zoom and short zoom sensitivity. The short zoom affects scopes that are 3x or less. I want a different sensitivity for when I'm using a 3x scope, or an acog scope vs when I'm using my red dot.
Question.. the faction that says they stay off the radar, are they also immune to being revealed by the dumb wallhack ability?
no
Is there any counter play at all against snipers, i keep getting floored by snipers even if i get the drop on them and they seem to always one shot me
The headshot multiplier with acr is gods gift when u tap fire long range u can melt people down
Good tips
Out of context, a lot of the tips in this video, are good general life advice.
emp grenades are super good. highly recommend
Pinging is essential, teammates seem to be half blind so it would really help
What are the best attachments for the ACR ??
What are the chances that we get weapon breakdowns for Xdefiant?
Is there a way to counter abilities? The damn recon thing constantly pinging my location is annoying
EMP can shut that down if you manage to find them and dead sec is capable of hard countering with the ult.
I been doing pretty good but i’ll get into some lobbies where it’s a full team of bunny hopping strafing hopping maniacs and idk my hops aren’t nearly as high or fast as theirs
You have any tips on how to counter the horrible hit detection?
hey ace, ive noticed in the practice zone that the red dot and the tracers of the bullets/bullet holes dont line up on many guns. the MDR with reflex and m4a1 with reflex specifically. would love if you could check that out. I dont have many attachments with them so there might be an attachment that helps with this that i havent seen yet but as of right now thats still the case for me.
also on pc at least for me the Desync seems to be insane
The MDR seems pretty bad imo. Crazy recoil compared to the other assault rifles.
Hot shot is my favourite mode. As when you pop off YOU POP OFF 🎉. It is an amazing feeling I have not had from cod in at least a decade.
Almost lvl50 here and I always recommend staying together with a couple other teammates that helps alot.
Is there a way to make the icons bigger for the domination flags
when does it makes sense to use your handfire weapon? I mean when your primary weapon is empty of course but I die way before this is the case and my problem here is that you dont lvl up your handfire weapon when you dont use them.
The game is brand new but overall I love it, does it need things tweaked yes. Being able to ping on the map where an enemy is or where to move to to your team is needed, does it take way too long to level anything up especially weapons yes, are spawns a little sus at times sure, maybe add skill streaks for unranked potentially, etc. but people the games brand new and regardless of the delayed launch it’s still new. It’s got cool factions with different passive and primary things, I personally feel like the weapons are balanced decent, I love there’s no SBMM, I like its built around comp, the maps are pretty solid and they have taken pieces from each game of the factions to resemble the games landscape, there are a lot of pros and cons but overall it’s fun and las time I checked it free right? Unless you wanna buy skins battle passes etc.
I’ve already went on too long but my point is in time we will see if they are receptive to the public and overall majority opinions but right now I’m excited for its future
Its a fun game, something cod hasnt been for a while. I dont worry about kd, i just complete challenges, try out different guns and just play to destress.
Any idea how to change my server region to US West?! I literally live in Western Canada and it keeps automatically connecting me to the US East server for some reason.
As a person who played a lot of BF, Hell Let Loose etc. I must say I barely look at the minimap - 1. I'm playing on a 27' monitor and sits relatively close so it's not comfortable to shift my eyes all the way up from the main part of the screen, 2. the maps are small and after a few matches on them you know basically every nook and cranny and in combination with general awareness, listening and paying attention to what is going on around me I don' really feel the need to use the map at all. Maybe if the game was a bit slower but right now the split second you look up at it can get you easily killed so I'd rather watch what is in front of me.
To track targets I had to change the sensitivity based on feel rather than sticking to my usual cm per rotation - my sensitivity is 10-15% faster than on any other fps I play. On mouse and keyboard. Maybe this helps someone else too
Minimap in XDefiant is so tiny to me, I personally like being a lone wolf flanking enemies, and most of the time I can't even check where's my teammate to predict the spawns, awful, any advice?
Skipped COD this year and this really scratches the COD itch bar the kill streaks
Can you explain what you ment by aim assist being stronger here compared to COD?
I thought it was the other way around, and it also feels like its much much weaker in XDefiant.
Just love that Ubisoft factions are in this.
Wouldn’t be sick to have the assassins creed faction in this!?
Lost it seeing DedSec/ Watchdogs in this!
Addicted to the game 🤣
Thanks for this i'm legit like 0.6 k/d so trying hard to improve, was never that bad in CoD
because you where protected on cod by sbmm. Now it's time to die a lot noob. jam jam jam free kills
Us og cod players that had quit cod, that's how we all started. We didn't have sbmm to protect us. A lot of people felt this way: seeing the guy in the opposite team go off and stomped the lobby and strive to be that guy. Eventually we became that guy stomping the lobby and in xdefian, us ogs are stomping. Just keep in mind that not all games you're going to stomp since you will get into a sweaty game here and there, where it's back and forth. And games where its super easy.
Idk if this is weird but my k/d is literally the same in both games
@@katser5023older CODs all had SBMM.
