XDefiant is set to receive some huge gameplay changes in the next patch, as Mark Rubin outlined exactly what’s being worked on.
XDefiant’s Preseason is well underway, and as players look forward to Season 1’s content, others are eager for the devs to address some gameplay issues such as bunny hopping and the hit registration.
Luckily, Mark Rubin, the Executive Producer for XDefiant, is all about communication, as he uses X to talk to the community, respond to feedback, and let players know what the next goal is for the shooter.
On June 4, 2024, Mark Rubin detailed a set of gameplay changes that the next patch will look to address, namely Sniper flinch, bunny hopping, and screen shake, as well as hit registration/netcode fixes.
Bunny hopping has been a complaint of the XDefiant community since the game launched on May 21, 2024, as many feel you can spam it too often and that the movement needs some drawbacks for balance.
