XDefiant Season 1 Patch Notes

Gameplay

• The expiration time of activated boosters has been changed so that their lifespan is only counted during the match, when you are actually playing, rather than all the time, like when you are folding laundry or something.
• The XP threshold has been lowered for each Battle Pass tier to give Battle Pass progression a bit more oomph.
• Optimized Match Bonus: MVP and Victory title XP rewards have been reduced from 2,000 to 1,000 XP. Draw has been increased from 1,000 to 500. Points completed have been doubled from 2,000 to 4,000, to encourage players to stay focused on their goal.
• I responded to a community request to add a portrait icon to the Killfeed, as it feels good to have it.

Factions

• Added the GSK faction and their pragmatic announcer: HQ.
  • These elite operators from the German Border Protection Command’s Rainbow Team specialize in crowd control and securing territory. They can deploy electrified barbed wire to deny access to an area, counter incoming enemy devices with their Active Defense System, and dazzle multiple enemies with flash charges mounted on their G52 Ultra Tactical Shield. Call them Grenzschutzkommando because it’s fun and also accurate.
• Echelon Intel Suit cooldown increased from 30 to 40 seconds.
• The cooldown of the Ghosts' Magnetic Barrier has been adjusted from 30 to 40 seconds. The Magnetic Barrier's health has also been reduced from 500 to 400.
• Phantoms' AEGIS now takes damage from EMP grenades (throw six to disable it).
• DedSec Hijack's cooldown is reduced from 28 seconds (plus remaining duration of hacked skill) to 20 seconds (plus remaining duration of hacked skill).
  • For example, let's say a magnetic barrier has 7 seconds left and it is hacked: the cooldown increases to 20 plus 7 seconds. The cooldown of a failed hijack, on the other hand, decreases from 8 seconds to 5 seconds.
• DedSec's Spiderbot cooldown has been increased from 25 to 40 seconds.
• Spiderbot's behavior has been adjusted so that multiple Spiderbots will not attempt to hug the same face, and will not continue to ignore faces they have hugged multiple times recently. Some give and receive from the Spiderbot realm.
• Libertad's BioVida boost cooldown has been reduced from 25 to 20 seconds.
• Fixed Libertad's Medico Supremo so that he no longer disappears after the deployed player respawns as a different faction.
