XDefiant players demand nerf for \u201cridiculously overpowered\u201d snipers UbisoftXDefiant players are demanding that the Ubisoft devs nerf the \u201cridiculously overpowered\u201d snipers that make the game \u2018less fun.\u2019 It\u2019s fair to say Ubisoft\u2019s XDefiant has had a fantastic launch, quickly amassing hundreds of thousands of players in just a few hours. But, there have been numerous Reddit threads criticizing sniper rifles since the game\u2019s release on May 21, with complaints that the weapons are \u201cridiculously overpowered,\u201d and players aren\u2019t punished enough when using them. \u201cSnipers are ridiculously overpowered,\u201d one hit out. \u201cEven at close range they can scope in and shoot while getting drilled in the face with an AR.\u201d They continued: \u201cZero flinch or movement punishment. The sniper lobbies make the game unfun. Rant over.\u201d \u201cSniping needs some changes. I think the 0 flinch is the worst part,\u201d another agreed. \u201cIt\u2019s so annoying to beam someone with 5 shots then they can still aim in and kill you with 1 shot.\u201d In the replies, several players agreed and called for the devs to make some simple changes to the weapon flinch. \u201cThey 100% need more flinch,\u201d said one. \u201cThey\u2019re already pretty close to being well-balanced with their slow reloads and slow ADS times. One frustrated player claimed they\u2019d do \u201canything\u201d for a no-snipers mode, claiming it\u2019s impossible to compete against them. On the other hand, as the meta is beginning to take shape, players are calling on the Ubisoft devs to make a \u201cmajor\u201d buff to the game\u2019s \u201cuseless\u201d shotguns in the next patch. While the Season 1 update isn\u2019t set for release until July 2, when we\u2019ll be introduced to a new Faction codenamed \u2018Ruby\u2019 as well as several new weapons and maps, we\u2019re sure we\u2019ll see a few small patches before then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
