XDefiant players want Echelon\u2019s \u201cconstant wall hack\u201d ability nerfed already UbisoftThe Echelon\u2019s Intel Suit has XDefiant players calling for nerfs due to its ability providing nearly infinite \u201cwall-hack\u201d capability. Competitive titles featuring hero abilities as core mechanics usually face an uphill battle regarding game balance, especially as not all boosts are created equally. For example, the jack-of-all-trades duelist Raze from Valorant faces few downsides. Unsurprisingly, XDefiant is no different. As the game has picked up in popularity, the Faction balance has been an underlying concern for fans. At the top of this list, the Echelon class is drawing particular attention. The cause for concern stems from the Faction\u2019s \u201cIntel Suit,\u201d an ability that \u201cperiodically\u201d pings enemies upon activation for the entire team. In a thread shared to the XDefiant subreddit, one player argued that while it\u2019s cool to use the ability, it shouldn\u2019t reveal the entire enemy team\u2019s location. \u201cIf my screen shows \u2018Revealed by Intel Suit,\u2019 I\u2019m getting jumped from multiple angles and am just hoping to get one before I die,\u201d the poster shared. While it may seem like a niche complaint, there are no role restrictions in XDefiant. This means multiple players can select Echelon, essentially granting infinite wall hacks for their team. While these frustrations could be eased with a counter ability to block Intel Suit detection, there aren\u2019t any options to prevent it at this time outside of the DedSec class locked behind a challenge requiring 700,000 XP or a $10 paywall. Those unwilling to pay are stuck getting ambushed as they grind the challenge. Rework ideas for the Faction have flooded the thread, as multiple replies state it should be \u201can Ultimate Ability instead of a default one.\u201d Others went as far as to say it should be \u201cremoved from the game\u201d or changed to ping once on activation. There\u2019s a long thread of issues players hope XDefiant addresses, such as bunny hopping and hit registration. While the Intel Suit is one of the more prominent issues, there isn\u2019t any information on when a balance may be expected at this time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
