Tips & Tricks for EVERY FACTION in XDefiant!

[@staycationtg]

Hope the video helps ya out! Loving the game so far 💛 Hope to see y’all in the streams :D Thanks for watching

[@weezer91101]

I love how people who dismiss this game say really dumb shit and go back to being abused by cod like it’s somehow better. People gotta break this battle royale spell. They treat it like it’s the gospel.

[@andrewroof8042]

I mean COD as far as the feel of the game I think is so much better. However, the state of COD (constant cheating and broken mechanics) makes a game like this a nice change up a few times a week. I do think this game once they get better established could finally be a great new game in the meta multiplayer scene.

[@4rm4n2k4z]

Battle royale will never be broken. The feel and the satisfaction of a win, even a kill, is just so much more than a kill or win in tdm or dom or whatever. It just has so much more meaning, risk/reward and so on, than a respawn game mode.

[@Mercer2003]

thanks for the break down I picked up a couple things I didn’t know. I’m mostly a Libertad or Cleaner player depending on what my team needs.

[@srija744]

Here's a fun tip for countering the Blitz shield: of course you can EMP/Grenade/etc. at them but also you can shoot their feet. The shield doesn't cover their feet and you can do some decent damage even from the front by aiming down a bit.

[@rexex345]

Or turn and run while kiting, if you try to backtrack on them they WILL catch you. Taking the shield down is slow and loud, and if you simply back up, it's much easier for them to lead you into a wall and squish you. Above all though, phantoms really embody "face the enemy or die, being behind them is a death sentence for them, even their Ultra is vulnerable to rushing them from behind or sides and playing Looney tunes with them.

[@pointlessvideos2321]

The blitz shield is terrible so it’s basically a free kill whenever u see someone using it

[@Mr.D_Agoons]

OKAY like why did that intro go kinda hard.🔥🔥

[@midtgrecording3816]

I've noticed in the time I've been playing that if you have two phantoms, an echelon player, two cleaners, and a Libertad player, you almost always win. Especially if everyone knows how to use there class.

[@BIGKEY_1234]

I agree you need player with different characters in one game

[@ningen1712]

Honestly it doesn't matter all too much on what people pick if you're good you're good. I've had games where we were all cleaners, phantoms and even libertad and we dominated its really all about playing to your strengths and acknowledging your weak points that make you a good player

[@davidtaylor606]

If everyone plays echelon and intel suit and use teamwork every 30sec one teammate pops and pop UAV it’s OP. Good luck with us

[@brendangabriel5820]

Dead sec is nice tbh if theirs a shit ton of phantoms I use hack if it’s cleaners I use bot. Loving this game even though the industry is hating on it !

[@deshan119]

I feel the libertad passive range is a little too small

[@Marlon17]

In the beta i loved the mix of cleaners and phantoms, still the best for me

[@TuckyTuck]

I’m excited to see how the faction meta shapes up in competitive. In pubs I can’t get off phantoms because of how great the passive is, but I see a lot of potential shake-ups for comp. My guess is every team will need to have at least one libertad for the healing aspect, but after that there’s no telling how much value each faction will be able to get

[@spysmocking4536]

Echelon main here. I pretty much almost always use the Ghillie suit. I don’t think many people realise how good is this ability for solo play. You have such insane outplay potential with it if you use it right. Even when you’re moving, you are still quite hard to spot compared to if you’re not cloaked, particularly if you are not paying very close attention to the screen.

[@grooveya1televised862]

They should bring a search and destroy mode. Or a mode like heist on Black Ops 4

[@bobdole3251]

Gridiron would be awesome

[@vision9676]

They’re actually bringing a search and destroy mode soon

[@savagereaper6291]

I want Search but without the goofy abilities, it makes me not want it. That is the main thing I don't like.

[@Minecraftassassin-re6og]

Instead of search of destroy let me offer you an alternative mode prisoner rescue (that was briefly introduced in MW2 and was never introduced again) A mode very similar to search and destroy and (in theory) could work with all the factions

[@yoshi7901]

S&D will be unplayable becouse of Echelon wallhacks if they are not gona give a good counter or nerf it

[@bboylorettoEight08]

Fire skills are sick and the bullets too 😮

[@Scorbutic]

People sleep on the blitz shield, but it's my go-to when it comes to capping an objective real quick. A couple people with shields and you can just walk in and create chaos.

[@brrrattobama]

good video bro. really insightful

[@hamzaadib9927]

First time im playing a fps game and xdefiant really lured me in altho i suck at the mechanics like aiming and recoil mamagement but its very fun

[@shusakudake]

its all about fun its no rank game or something

[@Scrublord96]

The assault shield is great for escort and pushing objectives

[@00badcompany90]

I do feel that it takes so long to get the ultimate imo.. it doesn't need to be super easy but be nice use it more than once per game mostly

[@Stevestevestevestevestevesteve]

Helped me understand the classes 😅

[@Krydolph]

If you are playing deliver the package, the riot shield can almost win you the match single handed. If your teammates just follows and shoots a little, you can get that thing in very fast. Maybe it's not really best used for top fraggers like you, but someone with more average skills, or even struggling, can really help his team big time with that. But it is also super fun to just take it out and hunt ppl down. I laugh everytime I bash someone down with it :D

[@RedxDJCashpal]

it would have been nice if you have recommended weapon classes for each faction.

[@southofsalem7045]

My favourite is deadsec, i just imagine everyone panicking when they cant use there abilities or there abilitys get used against them

Really helpful video, thank you!

[@bboylorettoEight08]

Oh also guys if your using cleaners the fire drones are OP if you aim quickly in a direction like a control point and fire it close up they will most likely all die

Its very well balanced tho, even guns. I really like this. No SSBM in casual is also good af

[@Justin_666_]

How do you get the sonar googles to be able to activate?

[@Mechpilot0790]

Pairing a DMR or sniper rifle with Cleaners is the absolute only right way to use them, as the the burn damage resets with every bullet, so pretty useless on the vector for example. Excitingly, if you start a trigger pull invisible, and it kills with any round in the mag, it counts as a cloak kill for the challenge, so the Vector or SAW are actually good choices, ironically. GSK agents are remarkably easy to kill if you build for torso shots, you just have to let their overconfidence poke them out too far. Hijack seems lame, right up until your phantom's shield goes from blue to red at a critical point in an escort mission. I had no idea how to do the far cry faction

[@wurskind]

Please try ghost of to tabor on quest 3, the pvp and looting is the best in the business right now, it’s vr but I really think the time is now.

You can't be seen on the minimap. You can still be seen with the echelon suit or the goggles.

Deadsec is by far the strongest class.... they counter literally every other class...pair them with emps and hacking team abilities is also the ultimate grief and hilarious

[@spysmocking4536]

@@markosocaYou can hack the fire drone with Dedsec’s hack. However, you do have to be quick about it cuz the ability doesn’t last long. When you do, the firedrone will actually start flying back towards the cleaner who used it. You can actually see that even in the promotional trailer for the DedSec class by Ubisoft.

TTK in this game looks super short. Doubting to maybe give it a try

[@juuiceboxx]

It’s not short. You’re just witnessing good aim☠️

[@nolanevery3798]

Also note the cleaners are the weakest faction in the game. The passive trait is the worst in the game since they’re the ones with the drawback of range being reduced while the trade off of slight damage isn’t really fair.

[@juuiceboxx]

That’s why as a cleaner there entire kit is based on them playing in close quarters, you’re not supposed to be trying to fight long range.

[@nolanevery3798]

[@shiestyworld218]

Its probably good in high level/ranked but wish it was offensive like the others.

[@abbieee69]

The best ult in the game is dead secs it's stops every abilitie and ultra and blocks out radar and how are you gonna use your ult if it's hacked oh yh you'll die then have to use it then that's it and it's not guaranteed at all you'll get the kills as you could be shut down easily but with dead secs ult you lock everyone out of everything accept using there weapons..... Don't underestimate deadsecs ult it seriously is one of if not the strongest in the game and there's a reason alot of people on KZbin and reddit are saying it's very very strong your probably not using it right

[@shiestyworld218]

@@abbieee69 Maybe I am underestimating it. Btw I main dedsec. But the ult works only in an small area

Phantoms are easily overrated and very easily counterable as dead sec shuts them down and emp grenades shut them down and honestly I rarely see them in my games and I've got 40hours so far level56 and I'm a dead sec and libertard player dead sec what I've seen on youtube and reddit is the strongest even tho echelon is close second deadsec shuts down nearly all classes and people will disagree but honestly play them the hack ult and the phone hack combined is super strong 💪 I've seen alot of dead sec and libertards in my games and I can see why

[@bboylorettoEight08]

Agree depends what you like using for tactical and strategy but I’m using all of them so I can level them up equally

[@spysmocking4536]

Meh i’d say the hack ability is pretty underpowered since, as of right now, there are not many player deployed abilities that you can easily hack. Mainly it is just Phantoms with the Mag barrier and maybe Libertad’s healing pack. You can hack the spiderbot of an enemy Dedsec and Incinerator drone of an enemy Cleaner, but you gotta react fast when they deploy those. The Spiderbot is also annoying to use. If you try to follow it, it changes its mind way too often on where it wants to go and it runs quite slower than you do. But ill admit, it is a way more usable ability than the hack. The only thing pretty busted from this class is its ult, because im pretty sure it has a global range and lasts for 20 secs. Im not saying the Dedsec class is bad, its just the other classes have way more practical/reliable abilities

[@JulianNeraom-jb1lm]

I gotta say the whole faction thing is weird and confusing.

[@Serenejsmooth]

What how it's not complicated at all

[@Ram-Rod-Please]

The factions have terrible balance. The cleaners are garbage beside the flamethrower. The phantom riot shield is a joke. The endless wall hacks needs a serious nerf the pistol needs to be a three shot. That one shot shit is not working
