XDefiant streamer pleads for arachnophobia mode after game gives her \u201cpanic attacks\u201d UbisoftAn XDefiant streamer wants developers to implement an arachnophobia mode because of the panic attack-inducing Spiderbots. Unlike other factions, XDefiant\u2019s DedSec group uses hacking tactics to one-up opponents in battle. One such tactic involves the Spiderbot drone, which can jump on enemies and stun them for a short period. Players have already made their frustrations with the tiny robot known, with many thinking developers should nerf it. But one player wants the Spiderbots to be dealt with in another manner. In a Twitter\/X post, Twitch streamer xLegendaryDollx pleaded with Ubisoft to add an arachnophobia mode to XDefiant. \u201cMy heart can\u2019t take this & I just want to enjoy the game with my friends,\u201d the streamer wrote in the caption for a video where the Spiderbot attacked her in-game. The video includes several clips of the streamer being attacked by Spiderbots in matches. Each time the mechanical creature pops up, the content creator screeches and looks away from the screen. At around the one-minute mark, xLegendaryDollx says the Spiderbot\u2019s constant surprise assaults are giving her a \u201cpanic attack.\u201d A little later in the clip, she has trouble aiming because her legs and hands are shaking from the stress. The streamer noted she does suffer from arachnophobia, so the hope is that a mode that takes this into account for similar players would make XDefiant even more appealing. Not everyone\u2019s on board with this idea, though. Content creator ProReborn argued the complaint is a little ridiculous given that the focus of XDefiant is on \u201cmurdering other human beings.\u201d They went on to add, \u201cI believe this is a perfect example of \u2018the world must change specifically for me.’\u201d Several other games have added similar modes in recent years, including Hogwarts Legacy and Obsidian\u2019s insect-infested Grounded. The Hogwarts Legacy mode changes the creatures\u2019 appearance and reduces the sound of skitters. Meanwhile, Grounded uses a slider system that alters the bugs\u2019 look based on player preference. Ubisoft has not responded to the streamer or announced plans to add such a mode to XDefiant in a future update.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
