XDefiant players furious with \u201cinsufferable\u201d game mechanic UbisoftXDefiant players are frustrated over the \u201cgoofy\u201d bunny-hopping movement mechanic, which they claim has made the game \u201cinsufferable.\u201d Since XDefiant\u2019s release, numerous threads on the game\u2019s Reddit page criticizing the bunny hopping mechanic have appeared. In particular, players have slammed the game as a \u201chopfest\u201d and are desperate for changes. \u201cNerf bunny hopping, already insufferable,\u201d a post read. \u201cIt\u2019s just too much, every game has turned into a hopfest where the moment anyone sees anyone everyone starts jumping and strafing.\u201d They continued: \u201cYou shouldn\u2019t be able to just start hopping side to side instantaneously the moment someone shoots at you while also being able to aim in and keep a perfect sight on someone.\u201d Other threads echoed the same frustrations. \u201cI\u2019m sorry but the jump spamming is so goofy,\u201d a player criticized. One claimed the issue mainly lies with the game\u2019s net code, which they think gives players a moment of invincibility. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t care about the jumping if the net code wasn\u2019t trash, it\u2019s like they get invincibility frames or something,\u201d they said. They added: \u201cHaving shots on target literally not register because somebody is pressing the space bar just makes me go play something else.\u201d Other XDefiant players also claimed the game will lose players if the devs don\u2019t act quickly to fix the \u201cincessant hopping,\u201d noting that the majority of the community has a \u201cclear\u201d dislike for aerial combat that is being forced. Regardless, XDefiant has been on a brilliant run since its launch on May 21, which was a record-breaker for Ubisoft, with one million unique players within the first 2.5 hours after its release and over 500,000 concurrent users across all platforms according to reports. Not only that, the devs are already patching up various aspects of the game, releasing a small update on May 24 to improve the netcode, UI, and FPS issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
