XDefiant players want major buff for \u201cuseless\u201d shotguns UbisoftXDefiant players are calling on the Ubisoft devs to make a \u201cmajor\u201d buff to the game\u2019s \u201cuseless\u201d shotguns in the next patch. Ubisoft\u2019s free-to-play first-person has attracted a ton of eyes since its release on May 21, which was a record-breaker for the publisher. According to reports the 6v6 team-based FPS quickly amassed over 500,000 concurrent users across all platforms and more impressively one million unique players within the first 2.5 hours after launch. XDefiant\u2019s meta is already beginning to take shape as players get a true feel for the game. However, players think one weapon class requires some tweaks. The game\u2019s shotguns have been discussed heavily among the community across several Reddit threads. One post questioned if the shotgun spread is working as intended, pointing out its huge inaccuracy and inconsistency when jumping. Others claimed they simply need a buff as they\u2019re currently \u201cuseless.\u201d \u201cShotgun needs a major buff. Just tried it, and boy is it useless,\u201d a post read. \u201cI can\u2019t tell if it\u2019s bad or if it\u2019s just the terrible hit reg. Just seems really inconsistent to me,\u201d said another. \u201cIt can one shot at close range if netcode is actually working and all your pellets are registering,\u201d a player explained. \u201cI think the de-sync needs to be fixed not the range of the weapon or else people are gonna be hitting people halfway across the map with the shotgun again,\u201d another added. The devs are already on top of fixing up the game where needed, releasing a small patch on May 24 to improve the netcode, UI, and FPS. 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. However, it\u2019s likely the devs will release some small updates before the pre-season ends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
