Ubisoft's Free-to-Play shooter has just received a new update, here are the complete patch notes.
XDefiant, Ubisoft's new free-to-play shooter, is blowing up! It hit 1 million players just two and a half hours after launch. Sure, there were some server issues, but they got those fixed in 8–10 hours. Now, the game’s got over 3 million players and 300,000 playing at the same time, according to Insider-Gaming.com.
Just two days after release, they announced the first patch. This update brings some solid improvements. They have (re)added a Practice Zone where you can try out different weapons and abilities without any pressure after it was taken down almost instantly, because it wasn't playable at all. It’s perfect for getting your skills sharp or testing your new weapon modifications before jumping into real matches. They also fixed various bugs and improved gameplay mechanics. If you want your settings optimized for the most fun and getting kills, check out this guide.
XDefiant Patchnotes
Game Mode
- Sometimes players loading into the Practice Zone would spawn outside the world, in a hellscape, and now they (probably) will not.
Devices
- Fixed an issue where if the player died during the device deployment animation, their next deployed device would drop at their feet rather than be thrown as intended.
Netcode
- That issue where you'd get hitmarkers on an enemy as they killed you, but their health bar still appeared full to you? The health bar display was wrong - you did damage them. Should be fixed now.
Localization
- Fixed an issue where end-of-match UI text would display with the wrong orientation in Arabic.
Miscellaneous
- We've turned the Practice Zone back on, but it's possible weird things could still happen. (sounds promising lmao)
- Fixed an issue that was causing low framerates with some AMD GPUs.
