XDefiant players slam devs for broken recoil despite promising a fix months ago UbisoftThough Ubisoft promised to investigate the matter months ago, XDefiant\u2019s glitched recoil is still causing major problems for players. The shooter\u2019s recoil issues date back to the April 2024 beta, wherein users noted that visual glitches were severely impacting their enjoyment of the game. XDefiant launched in May 2024 with the same bug plaguing the moment-to-moment action. Twitch streamer Nate Gibson shared footage of the recoil glitch in a Twitter\/X post, garnering a response from Systems Designer Patrick \u201cAches\u201d Price. Without offering specifics, Price said the team had begun \u201cinvestigating\u201d the glitch. \u201cTo be clear \u2013 this is not intended,\u201d the developer added. As of July, though, developers still haven\u2019t issued a fix, much to the dismay of XDefiant players. Reddit user EP_1K posted a Practice Zone clip showing the lingering troubles. While shooting at an unmoving target, the player\u2019s reticle bounces around with abandon, their shots hitting everything but the intended target. Multiple people in the thread said they also continue to wrestle with XDefiant\u2019s frustrating recoil. Reads one such reply, \u201cI get this too\u2026 and sometimes the white dot doesn\u2019t even sit in the center of the screen\u2026 I have to intentionally aim further left of what I expect to hit\u2026\u201d Another person added, \u201cIf I remember correctly, this was also reported on and complained about a lot in the Beta. It was one of the things they were supposed to fix but obviously didn\u2019t.\u201d Some mouse and keyboard players have reached their wit\u2019s end, as well. Twitter\/X user Mikaveli cited the recoil bug as one reason why XDefiant feels \u201cunsatisfying\u201d to play. They wrote in part, \u201cI really want to like Xdefiant but it feels so unsatisfying as an MnK player. Gameplay loop can be fun but needs work to improve visual recoil\u2026\u201d Developers have not shared an update about when players can expect the bug to be fixed. Other XDefiant aspects of the experience await fine-tuning, too. Most notably, for PS5 players, Ubisoft plans on deploying a \u201cfull fix\u201d for the platform\u2019s 60hz and 120hz issues during the week of July 7.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
