One ‘ridiculous’ XDefiant gun shines above all as server test comes to a close

XDefiant‘s April server beta test wrapped today and players are buzzing after a smooth weekend of action, but one weapon archetype—sniper rifles—has ruled above all others.

The status of rifles has left fans worried the “overpowered” weapons will take over the game without prelaunch nerfs. Where the bulk of discussion following last year’s public beta was about the game’s shoddy netcode, discussion around the XDefiant community is mainly focused on weapon balancing and the best loadouts, with many crying foul over the power of the TAC-50 and M44 snipers. One player described every kill feed packed full of players sniping each other. “Snipers are absolutely insane,” another player said. “Every match is just dudes bunnyhopping around corners with snipers.”
