XDefiant Y1S0.4 update patch notes
Here’s a list of all the changes that Ubisoft has brought to XDefiant with the Y1S0.4 patch as stated in the official notes:
Gameplay
- Sped up the process of unlocking weapon attachments by lowering the amount of XP needed to level up your primary weapon, from 3,500 to 3,000, and your secondary weapon, from 1,500 to 1,000. This change is retroactive, meaning your existing weapon levels will likely be even higher now.
- To counterbalance this speedier access to performance-enhancing attachments–and provide a greater challenge to the community–Weapon Mastery level requirements have increased. However, any player who has already unlocked Bronze/Silver/Gold skins will get to keep them.
Netcode
- Improved how quickly your health reacts when being shot, which should reduce the feeling of being shot behind walls.
Weapons
- Players wielding the MDR while strutting around in the Firestorm skin were experiencing an abnormal level of recoil, which has been reset to normal recoil.
Factions
- Restored the decorum of lying down when dead to players who previously remained on their feet after dying while under the influence of Libertad’s Medico Supremo ultra.
Miscellaneous
- Additional crash fixes.
