PSA: Don’t forget to manually start your XDefiant GSK challenge
There’s plenty to discover in XDefiant season one, but above all, players are looking to try out the GSK faction. While some will undoubtedly buy the faction outright, you can unlock it for free—as long as you manually activate its Major Challenge.
There are two ways to unlock the GSK faction in XDefiant: Purchasing it outright for 1,000 XCoins (about $10 USD) or by completing the GSK Major Challenge and earning 700,000 XP. Eager players have already jumped straight into XDefiant to unlock the new faction but completely bypassed hitting the activate button, meaning some spent hours earning XP that didn’t actually count toward that lofty 700,000 XP requirement.
