XDefiant players frustrated by \u201cinsufferable\u201d bunny hopping meta UbisoftPlayer movement has been a hot topic of discussion in XDefiant forums ever since it was released. Now, players seem to be annoyed at the erratic \u201cair strafing\u201d mechanism, saying it is frustrating to play against. Movement is one of the best features of XDefiant that is sticking around for Season 1. The mechanic allows players to move swiftly mid-air and \u2018bunnyhop\u2019 \u2013 a mechanic known as \u201cair strafing\u201d that\u2019s prevalent in other popular titles like Counter-Strike and Apex Legends. It allows players to move in irregular patterns, making it hard for an enemy to get a kill. However, some XDefiant players are taking air strafing to the level where some deem it \u201cinsufferable.\u201d Some players did acknowledge in a popular Reddit post that jumping is not the issue to be worried about but \u201cit\u2019s air strafing. He jumps left and mid-air, and instantly swerves to the right lol.\u201d Another player said it\u2019s easy to learn but can be an \u201cannoying playstyle.\u201d The easy-to-learn factor has convinced the community that it\u2019s \u201cso infuriating.\u201d Some mentioned the \u201cchanging direction mid-air\u201d annoyed them the most as they \u201cnever experienced that in any other game.\u201d Few players are disappointed with unfavorable hit registrations and commented: \u201cStack that with the net code and its GGs.\u201d The devs, however, are aware of the issue and claim that fixing it is a \u201ctop priority\u201d for them. Since bunnyhopping and air strafing are some common terms in Counter-Strike and Apex Legends, players did draw some comparisons with XDefiant. \u201cImagine a game like Counter-Strike having full accuracy full control max speed jumping. The game would be dead in a month. This s**t REALLY needs to go,\u201d said the player. \u201cYou haven\u2019t played Apex Legends? In-air movement is INSANE in that game,\u201d said another. A player mentioned people will continue \u201ctaking advantage of the tools provided to them, regardless of how annoying it is.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
