XDEFIANT got a MASSIVE UPDATE, but it's still dead

[@M3RKMUS1C]

*DROP A LIKE + SUB* for NEW SNIPER + TACO BELL CHICKEN NUGGETS TOMORROW! XDefiant is DEAD but they dropped the BIGGEST UPDATE EVER! I figured I'd check out as much of it as possible since new accounts can't be made + apparently you can't reinstall the game if you deleted it. I forgot to mention in the video, but I think it's because they don't want an influx of new players because of server costs, especially since the game is winding down. Still so bummed about XDefiant shutting down maaaan...
