XDefiant changes progression speed after listening to fans and mentions ranked mode
The XDefiant shooter is about to receive a number of changes after listening to fans, such as improved progression speed and the introduction of a ranked mode.
XDefiant was a success and that means there are a lot of players with strong opinions on the direction Ubisoft’s shooter should go and what changes are needed to improve the experience. The developers’ job is to understand what valid feedback is and it seems that the company has drawn its own conclusions.
Mark Rubin – Executive Producer at XDefiant – has announced a series of changes to make progression more in line with player expectations .

One of the issues reported by players is related to the time it takes to unlock “Weapon Mastery” skins. Rubin now explains that the experience points required to move up to the next level have now gone from 30,000 to 15,000 , halving the number required in XDefiant. Players will also see their level go up retroactively as the changes take effect.

At the moment we do not have a precise date for the arrival of this news. Rubin explains, however, that the main reason to continue playing XDefiant for now is the desire to obtain Weapon Mastery and therefore they had exaggerated in slowing down their acquisition. Ubisoft also has to offer something else to keep players inside the shooter and one of the ways mentioned by the manufacturer is the ranked mode .
Finally, it appears that Ubisoft is also working on other ways to earn rewards , although there are no details to share for now. We’ll have to wait for future updates to find out more.
We also remember that XDefiant blocked an annoying strategy used by players .
