Here are the XDefiant patch notes for July 31: Shotgun revamp, Ranked changes, and more
XDefiant‘s Y1S1.3 patch has arrived on July 31 and comes packed full of adjustments and updates for the title. Ubisoft’s main focus is on weapon balancing, with the team taking a pass at the weak shotgun archetype, as well as a much-needed MP7 nerf.
All XDefiant shotguns have been tuned, with a significant range boost across the board for the M870, AA-12, Double Barrel and its Sawed-Off variant. Depending on the weapon, shotguns should now be 30 to 40 percent more effective at range, while their mobility and sprint-to-shoot times have also been shortened.
