XDefiant Season 2 to offer new playable faction, weapon variety and more

An online leak suggests XDefiant's upcoming Season 2 will bring a major shakeup with the introduction of Highwaymen faction, fresh weapons, and a revamped reward system.
The biggest revelation hinges on the introduction of a brand new faction – the Highwaymen. This ruthless group, recognisable from Ubisoft's open-world title Far Cry New Dawn, is poised to shake up the XDefiant battlefield.While specifics about their abilities remain under wraps, the Highwaymen's inclusion hints at a potential thematic shift or even a narrative arc spanning across seasons.
The leak suggests that XDefiant Season 2 will introduce a range of fresh weapons across different categories. This could include new assault rifles, shotguns, or SMGs, catering to various playstyles and offering players more tactical choices on the battlefield.
The leak also mentions potential improvements to XDefiant's custom game functionality. While details are limited, this could signify more control over game modes, maps, and settings for players who enjoy creating personalised experiences.
Along with this, the leak also hints at the introduction of a Prestige System, rewarding dedicated players with exclusive cosmetics or other benefits for reaching high ranks. Additionally, new "Mastery Camos" might be implemented, allowing players to personalize their weapons further based on their achievements.
While the leaks provide a glimpse into what's to come, XDefiant fans eagerly await Ubisoft's official Season 2 announcement.
