Joining the many other free-to-play action-oriented live service games on the market, Ubisoft has thrown their hat in the ring with XDefiant, which after being live for a few weeks has now received its first season of content. This season’s content, inspired by different franchises developed by Ubisoft, includes:
New Faction: GS Kommando Inspired by Rainbow Six, the GS Kommando faction introduces unique abilities:
- Shock Wire: Creates a high-voltage perimeter around objectives.
- Active Defense System (ADS): Neutralises incoming enemy explosives.
- Flash Shield (Ultra): An LED-studded shield providing mobile cover.
- Hardhat (Passive Trait): Reduces the impact of headshots.
New Maps
- Clubhouse: Inspired by Rainbow Six, available today.
- Daytona: Inspired by The Crew 2, arriving later in the season.
- Rockefeller: Inspired by The Division, also coming in-season.
New Weapons Three free Battle Pass weapons are available:
- LVOA-C Assault Rifle
- L115 Sniper Rifle
- Sawed-off Shotgun (secondary)
New Arena Modes
- Capture the Flag (CTF): Available today, this mode is a fast-paced race to capture and return the flag while preventing the enemy from doing the same.
- Bomb: Coming later this season, this mode involves strategic play where teams alternate between defending and defusing a detonator.
Ranked Play A new 4v4 playlist will support Occupy, Domination, Zone Control, and Escort game modes. There are seven ranks to climb: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Ruby, Emerald, Diamond, and Legends.
Additionally, players can now support a content creator of their choosing through the XDefiant Creator Code Initiative. This allows players to grant a creator a commission for when they make in-game purchase. Any time a player buys an item from the store with XCoins, the selected creator will receive a commission from that purchase.
As with pre-season, this Season also introduces a new Season Pass, with both free and paid tiers. The usual with this, pretty much.
