Following XDefiant’s June 18 update complaints regarding highly requested changes to the weapon leveling progression and Mastery Camos requirements, the devs confirmed new changes will be introduced.
On an X post, the team announced that XDefiant’s next patch, which has no release date yet, will carry level progression and Mastery Camo changes based on players’ feedback after June 18’s update.
The changes will double the speed at which players rank up each weapon, requiring 1,500 XP for primary guns (previously 3,000 XP) and 500 XP for secondary guns (previously 1,000 XP). As shared by a follow-up post from XDefiant’s Mark Rubin, “unlocking attachments will be super fast” after the patch goes live.
However, to balance this out, the grind for Mastery Camos “will be 14% faster than before the recent patch.” This ultimately reverts the change introduced on June 18’s update but keeps the 14% speed increase, set to allow players to unlock attachments easily, but still need to grind to earn the camos.
