XDefiant devs confirm sniper rifles are getting a huge nerf UbisoftXDefiant devs have confirmed to players that sniper rifles will be getting a huge nerf in a future patch. Ubisoft\u2019s first-person shooter XDefiant has taken over the genre since its release in late May, competing with Call of Duty for players with its core gameplay being alike. However, the devs have come under fire for various aspects of the game, especially sniper rifles which some deemed as \u201cridiculously overpowered\u201d while others called them \u201ccheesy.\u201d The game\u2019s executive director Mark Rubin confirmed in a June 1 post on X that sniper rifles will see some changes. The dev admitted that snipers are a \u201cbit buggy\u201d in their current state when responding to concerns. Players pleaded for Ubisoft not to ruin the capability of being able to one-shot enemies with a sniper, to which Rubin confirmed that the team is working on adding flinch rather than nerfing the weapon. \u201cRight now we are adding flinch so if you are taking hits you can\u2019t just turn, point, click, and delete people. Should be in an upcoming patch,\u201d said the dev. In the slew of complaints across the game\u2019s subreddit, players mainly criticized the lack of flinch when being shot and no movement punishment\u2014which made some feel like it\u2019s impossible to compete against opponents using snipers. It\u2019s unclear when we\u2019ll see the update hit the live servers. XDefiant\u2019s first update arrived just a few days after the game\u2019s launch. And while it didn\u2019t bring any significant changes, the patch fixed several pressing issues. XDefiant is still in its preseason, with season one expected to release in early July, where we\u2019ll see the addition of several new maps and weapons, along with a whole new faction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
