XDefiant Open Session Beta datesĭubbed as Ubisoft's Call of Duty rival, given the development team is stacked with ex- CoD talent like Executive Game Director Mark Rubin and former World Champion Patrick ' Aches' Price, XDefiant is being built up to be quite a game changer in the shooter genre. So, here's exactly what you can expect to see from the maps and modes, and how to register for the XDefiant beta on console and PC. Gunsmith customization has seven attachment slots: optics, barrel, grip, muzzle, front rail, magazine, and stock.Ubisoft's newest title is nearly upon us, and having leant a hand from the entire Ubisoft franchise pool like Far Cry and Watch Dogs, XDefiant is filled with promise.īut before the full game is released, the XDefiant Close Beta starts. It's a fairly standard arsenal of assault rifles, LMGs, sniper rifles, shotguns, and SMGs. Like Call of Duty, players can build custom loadouts and equip various attachments to guns. DedSec (Watch Dogs): The hackers from Watch Dogs has gotten a lot more militant here, they've got a disruption-based ability kit, able to hack enemy deployables and disrupt enemy HUD/radar.Here, they have a damage-focused ability kit, because they're still into starting fires.

Cleaners (The Division): Those guys from the Division who were into starting fires.Can evade enemy detection, and reveal enemy locations. Echelon (Splinter Cell): Support characters and colleagues of our man Sam Fisher.

The Phantoms are ex-Ghost mercenaries with a Tank-like ability suite, with extra health and deployable shields. Phantoms (Ghost Recon): Apparently Ghost Recon is something you can defect from.

They have a healing-focused toolkit, including a Passive ability that slowly heals nearby teammates with 'the contagious spirit of freedom.' Sure!

Libertad (Far Cry): Freedom Fighters from Far Cry 6's Yara.

Here are the Factions currently available in XDefiant: Ubisoft has said they'll be adding more factions with seasonal updates. Originally, the available factions were all from the Clancyverse, but Ubisoft has dropped the Tom Clancy branding to pull in factions from its other franchises. Your Faction choice is separate from your loadout, and can be swapped in-game like you can swap loadouts. XDefiant features Factions, which function like character classes by determining which passive, active, and Ultimate abilities you'll have available during play.
