Is Search and Destroy coming to XDefiant? Devs give promising update on popular mode UbisoftSearch and Destroy has long been a staple game mode in Activision\u2019s Call of Duty franchise, but is Ubisoft set to follow suit and bring S&D to XDefiant? Here\u2019s what we know. When it comes to competitive play in just about any First Person Shooter, nothing tests a team\u2019s coordination quite like S&D. The round-based mode has been a cornerstone of CoD for decades now, and its absence in other games is certainly felt. When XDefiant finally released in full on May 21, 2024, it did so with a wide range of game modes and maps, though S&D was notably nowhere to be found. Given there\u2019s already a competitive 4v4 playlist in testing too, many have been left to wonder if S&D is a priority for the devs at Ubisoft. Players are in luck as devs have addressed the concerns nice and early, so here\u2019s what we know about XDefiant\u2019s take on the ever-popular game mode. Is Search and Destroy coming to XDefiant? Yes, in a sense, a Search and Destroy style mode is confirmed to be in the works for XDefiant. While perhaps not \u2018Search and Destroy\u2019 in name, Ubisoft does indeed have a no-respawn, bomb-focused game mode in the pipeline. Exactly how the S&D-style mode may differ from that found in CoD remains to be seen, but fans can rest easy knowing XDefiant devs are on the case. \u201cWe have a 1-life bomb mode coming,\u201d Executive Producer Mark Rubin confirmed in a response on X (formerly Twitter). As for when the mode may be implemented, that\u2019s yet to be determined, Rubin added. As a result, players would be wise not to hold their breath, as S&D gameplay in XDefiant could still be at least a few months away. XDefiant\u2019s Pre-Season is currently underway, so it\u2019s still very early in the game\u2019s lifecycle. With new features, weapons, characters, and plenty more improvements set to be rolled out in the coming weeks, especially with seasonal updates, we\u2019re sure to hear more on the S&D-style mode in time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
