GSK Faction: A Defensive Style of Gameplay
The GSK faction in XDefiant is built around defense and holding down key positions on the map. With abilities like the shock wire and the active defense system, players can effectively defend choke points and objective areas. The faction’s TAC Shield also provides mobile cover and a flash ability.
New Weapons: Aggressive Rifle, Middle Ground Sniper, and S Off Shotgun
Season 1 introduces three new weapons: the lvoa C rifle, the l15 sniper rifle, and the saw off shotgun. The lvoa C rifle is a souped-up M4 with better handling and fire rate, but less range and more recoil. The l15 sniper rifle is a middle ground sniper with consistent one-shot kills. The saw off shotgun is a secondary weapon with limited range but high lethality in close-range fights.
Ranked Play and Exclusive Rewards
Season 1 brings a full ranked mode to XDefiant, with seven different tiers and 10 levels within each tier. Players will earn ranked points based on performance, wins, and losses. Exclusive rewards are available for each tier, and players can keep all the rewards they unlock as they progress through the ranks.
Future Updates and Features
In addition to the Season 1 update, the developers of XDefiant have plans for future updates. These include a Prestige system, keyboard and mouse support for consoles, private matches, a killcam feature, and more updates to weapon Mastery. Stay tuned for more exciting content and improvements!
