Factions

Ubisoft’s XDefiant will have five different factions for players to choose from. These are Libertad, Cleaners, Phantoms, Echelon, and DedSec. However, DedSec will only be available later on.

XDefiant Maps

Players can access a total of 14 maps in the closed XDefiant beta, whether Ubisoft adds all of these in the proper game or omits few remains to be seen. These maps are:

  • Attica Heights
  • Arena
  • DUMBO
  • Echelon HQ
  • Emporium
  • Liberty
  • Mayday
  • Meltdown
  • Midway
  • Nudleplex
  • Pueblito
  • Showtime
  • Times Square
  • Zoo

Game modes

Players can dive into 4 different game modes in XDefiant, these are Escort, Domination, Zone Central and Occupy. So far, players will onyl have access to unranked games.

Ubisoft’s entry into the Arena Battle Royale genre has already made a favorable first impression among gamers, sparking comparisons with its competitors. The true measure of success for this new venture, however, will depend on the game’s official release and reception. An advantage in its favor is that the game will be free-to-play, which is likely to entice a significant number of gamers to give it a try.
