XDefiant: The FASTEST WAYS To Level Your Weapons... (A Comprehensive XP Guide)

I'm loving the focus on objective gameplay. I've always been an objective player and it's refreshing to not be going it alone anymore. Keep on, keepin on boys!

[@belamenhidgos8861]

I love this game, but the one thing in my experience is that people absolutely don't play the objective. Also, you don't get weapon xp for objective in this game, just player xp unless its changed. This might be why people aren't playing obj also.

[@justynburgess2557]

Man, i always get teammates that are allergic to objectives. Had multiple games of dom last night where i was ahead on objective score by thousands over just 2nd place. Multiple teammates had between 0 and 100

[@kingsaco]

Yes, my lobby is filled with try-hards, but I finally dropped a 20 piece.

[@eColiEspresso]

Been a while since I've had any comments like this, so I'll take it in good faith here: I just queue up and play. What content makes the videos are just highlights after hours of play time: streaks and "good games", though frankly I don't even think this gameplay is that good. Pretty sure that Hot Shot streak of 11 in this video was my highest streak since launch, pretty funny *that's* my best imo lol. Plenty of bad games never make the cut but genuinely, I just queue up and play. Time of day and luck of the draw play into it, but I don't have much more an answer beyond that.

Are we positive that objective XP goes towards the weapon in your hand? I say that because I’ve never seen my gun level go up capping objectives. Only when I get a kill or an assist. Since it’s double XP weekend they confirmed on Twitter if you pop a token it’s four times the XP it’s pretty sweet.

[@luke-i6k]

Yeah it doesn't he's wrong

[@mesaseany]

@@luke-i6k so only kills and assists count towards the weapon XP right? Although it does seem like I am leveling them up pretty fast playing the objective. I wish the developer would clarify.

[@JoeJoseph-pi4xd]

Gameplay is actually really fun. Better than i expected. Loving the game i hope it continues to get support

[@anthonyl5425]

I’m still not seeing objective xp counting toward weapon xp…. At least for sure not for secondary weapons. I’m assuming if it DOES count for weapons it’s only the primary. Tested it out running a 1911 and scoring objective points, but no kills, only with primary weapon, and 1911 saw NO progress at the end of the match. Either objective points do not count toward your weapon xp level, or they ONLY count toward your primary.

[@chadgaming8288]

I cannot believe how addicting and FUN this game is! With the double XP going on, THAT IS EXTREMELY helpful!

[@AscendedZombie]

How do you know all those things count toward your weapon xp? All those alternate ways of getting xp you mentioned may only count towards your player level. Not weapon level. For weapon levels it might be kills only.

[@jaredgodwin5956]

That’s exactly what I’m wondering. Like is he talking about player level xp, weapon xp, or everything counts towards both?

[@thechantedWhite]

also they need to level down the progression for weapon modification a little bit along with the balancing, server lag(ttk desync). and thanks for nice calculation espresso.

[@FamilyProudFamilyStrong]

7:53 literally every game mode has this issue. The amount of times I spawn in the middle of the line of fire is ridiculous

[@tylerbeckwith5331]

Console still has a small delay and or disconnection from actual movement. It is definitely not consistent. Not sure if it's the same on PC. Best way to describe it is. One moment I feel like I'm on ice 2 inch above the map floor. And at any moment it's like I'm stuck in the mud randomly. It's not from the hop cool down. It's just in general. I can make the same move twice around a wall at the same exact spot and each time it is a different result in my centering on screen. Messed with settings a ton. And normally never have problems with centering all the way back to the no aim assist days of black ops. So not sure why the snipers especially feels this way. And the random no shot. When pulling the trigger I'm guessing because movement breaks trigger pull into shot mechanic? Not sure? Might get on the chat tomorrow and mention it to dev team. But if you can help with us snipers it'd be appreciated. Mainly happens with the Tac sniper. Thanks for the video on helping get leveled up faster too. It helped alot. I knew objective mattered but there is Def new strategies for me to try.
