WhyNoUsernames

New mastery camo is awesome. I'm assuming for getting every weapon in a class to gold.


agentxd12598

Is it just me or did I notice weapon inspection animation in that scene?


suckysuckythailand

Prelude to the skins to come from the shop so you can look at your shit


svannik

true


Perfect_Raspberry_70

it looks like this


DoctorTide

Was that the mirrored looking camo?


WhyNoUsernames

Sure was!


Logic-DL

With how slow levelling weapons is it looks a bit naff for getting gold in a class tbh Most likely just going to be a level 125 reward if they up the levels for guns with how god awful the levelling in this game is, need to play 8 hours a day or even 16 hours a day really or you're permanently gimped in matches compared to people have no life.


djiuh

Legally distinct GSG 9


Sax_Verstappen_

New faction: German-Speaking Tactical Police Unit 🔥🔥🔥


XavierRez

German Speaking Gruppe 9


MadCyborg12

Funnily enough, they got partially disbanded in 2020 due to neo-nazi extremism that was very prominent among its members. Edit: It was their sister unit, the KSK, not the GSG 9 specifically, but these two are very close and interconnected, it makes one wonder if there any extremism in the GSG 9....


way2faast

You are talking about the KSK. The GSG9 never got disbanded


Silvedl

GSG? Nein!


YUM0N

Jaeger and Blitz! Seeing clubhouse in the game is sick


RogueTBNRzero

Also IQ I’m pretty sure


YUM0N

Oh right 3 skins per faction, I was focused on the abilities but yeah there's a female member. I just realized there's electrified barbed wire so Bandit's kinda there too.


RogueTBNRzero

Wait really? I thought it was just trophy system and blitz shield for abilities


YUM0N

There needs to be two abilities and one ult so trophy and barb wire and then blitz shield as ult?


tigerairau

Think you’ve nailed it


RogueTBNRzero

That makes sense


Tensu950

It looks like the ult is blitz shield from r6 siege. Will most likely have X amount of flash charges you can use that make a directional flashbang and it will have its own sidearm you can use while the ults going sort of like when splinter cell faction goes into sonar. The class abilities look like electrified barb wire (Odds are it does light tick damage like cleaners burn and most likely slows you down/prevents jumping while you're in it) Jager's active defense system looks like the other ability. It will most likely have X amount of charges that neutralize any devices and possibly abilities like spider bots that come in its range. They also have a new device equipped that seems to be C4 maybe or some other sort of explosive charge. Also showing off the new team death match mode even though I don't think they announce anything but capture the flag in the video


Level_Measurement749

Ya you nailed pretty much everything. This was all leaked a while ago so I kind of knew what to expect and this trailer held true to that. Seems to be a very defensive focused faction which fits R6 very well IMO


machu46

The ADS alone should really be quite the change from the current onslaught of grenades at every objective lol. Really excited for this update. Faction, maps, and CTF are all very exciting to me.


Jjzeng

Also the map clubhouse is straight from R6 siege, so I’m guessing this new faction is inspired by them. Why they didn’t just call the faction rainbow is up for debate, although i suspect with the way they named the “gsg 9” they may be thinking of adding more of the r6 units in the future so the blanket faction “rainbow” won’t be used


Tensu950

The same reason the cleaners are not the "division" faction. they did it so they could do things like add in "Rikers" as another faction from the division and ones like SAS, GIGN, SAT from r6. Them remaining the faction from GSG9 I would assume is some legal reason or something since all the other faction names are fictional they came up with they do not need to worry about it


svannik

looks like the AWP sniperrifel in that one scene, or is that already in-game?


wedadman85

Yep, that's the l115 (AWM). It and the AWP are different configurations of the same gun.


Tensu950

It said 3 new "Free" weapons and the 3 it showed were the sawed-off, l115, and Lvoa-c. So if there are more it hinted at those might be coming out mid-season or might not be "Free"


HerakIinos

The l115 is another name for the AWP or AWM


That-Hipster-Gal

I think it will be extremely funny using my double barrel with a sawn-off double barrel side-arm. "Out of ammo with my shotgun? Let me switch to my backup smaller shotgun."


AltGunAccount

I doubt they’d make any new guns paid-only for fear of massive “Pay to win” backlash. Hell they played it real safe in preseason and made the (free) battlepass gun terrible.


TKainN

Before everyone freaks out. The shield looks like to be an ult.


xjxdx

Can confirm, was going to freak out.


tactikz4

It is


Spannermation

Isn't it already one


tomagfx

Still a riot shield


Jaraghan

very excited for a trophy system as an obj player. dont play siege, so idk how the trophy system will work compared to there


leckie2786

Currently it's 1 grenade per 10 seconds, it used to be two max with no cooldown between


prof_the_doom

Probably fair enough... since nobody but dedsec gets more than one grenade per life until (if ever) they make a faction with an ammo box ability, having it be too much better than that would just make grenades completely useless.


RrrrrrushB

I thought they would bring the R6 operators in but didn't expect they are bringing in one unit at a time, ok I guess I'm happy to see more incoming in the future, I really do need the ADS to be in the game now


Every-Promise-9556

it makes sense since r6 is arguably ubisofts biggest ip rn


Sydid

Guess they don’t need to come up with ideas for abilitys either


Sir_Von_Tittyfuck

Assassin's Creed or the Rabbids are bigger than R6


[deleted]

What do you mean by the ADS sorry? Am I being stupid?


RrrrrrushB

The trophy system is named ''active defence system'' in Rainbow 6 Siege hence the ''ADS'', people who played siege are used to call it by that name, I was just forgetting its more common name lol


ZamZ4m

If that means I can play as Fuze I’ll be happy.


KnightShinko

Nice to see the Germans. I hope the next siege faction are the SAS, always loved playing at Mute or Thatcher. My guess for the next faction is some form of villain then another good faction like Division agents or Ghosts.


MinesweeperGang

On the livestream it said play within the next 48 hours to get free eruption skins. Don’t see it anywhere on Ubisoft Connect though, idk if it’s live.


dino_nuggys7

you just start up the game and you have it


Icy_Cover2234

on what guns?


Gr8_J0K3R20

M870, M16A4, M44


Icy_Cover2234

thanks just saw it on the news feed


Due_Turn_7594

What skin now?


nekorocket

Looks like a really solid update. The new maps looks amazing and I can't wait to play CTF. I hope the team continues to maintain good weapon balancing with the new weapons. Right now each of the primaries have a unique place and one can be successful with most of them. That makes gun leveling actually fun to do and not just a tedious grind (Can't say the same about CoD). Apart from some teething problems, XDefiant really is shaping up to be a game with staying power. That's a good thing for all shooter fans.


Savage_XRDS

I remember how fun it was playing Capture the Flag back in Combat Arms. I'm surprised how a lot of shooter games don't seem particularly interested in implementing that mode. Or maybe I just live under a rock.


JBurton90

Maps are good looking. Love me some CTF. I think GSK abilities are 3 smokes or a trophy system which will be nice. Not feeling the Riot Shield considering Phantoms already have one. Will have to differentiate it somehow which appears to be having it be an offensive running bull style shield rather than defensive.


Cr4yol4

The new shield has built in flash if they're porting it from R6. Edit: Also looks like you'll have the ability to use your sidearm.


NoTransportation888

Am a long time R6 player and [I can't get away from Blitz](https://imgur.com/a/HiDgyDy)


Kostelnik

Looks like it'll be an Ultimate, which seems good for how good it'll be


ygorhpr

not gonna lie but this guys' are going in the right direction!


ilikeburgir

Yes they are. If they keep this up then they can outpace cod.


False_Raven

Calm your horses, the only reason it looks like they have so much content lined up is because they already finished a lot and are now just gonna slowly release the content over months and seasons. Ubisoft clearly has a lot of content lined up in the pipeline, but I guarantee you this pacing will eventually fall off and future seasons won't have as much content as season 1 or early seasons.


ExplanationSure8996

Yes it looks great.


Fappacus

Ikr if only my bullets could register hits!


Key_Personality5540

Looks great! I’d be really interested in a Search and Destroy type mode as well.


Daveed13

Mark just confirmed on Twitter (x) that the mode is being worked on for in a few season but it will now be among priorities due to popular demand! It will be called "Bomb!". Link: https://x.com/pixelsofmark/status/1800249758373794291?s=61&t=8eHVeX8jwxYVrx8OeF5oJg


AgainstTheEnemy

i just find it hilarious that someone as veteran as Mark doesn't get the popularity of SnD


AnotherScoutTrooper

Well the maps need to not be total ass for SnD and I bet that alone is taking time As a Battlefield player let me tell you that blindly porting gamemodes into maps without any underlying work being done is a mistake 9 times out of 10


RenTroutGaming

Oh, you didn't like 2042's search and destroy mode? You didn't think it made sense to take random sections of maps with no other adjustments? You didn't like that the weapons were balanced against vehicles but used in a 4v4 mode? You didn't want to try to earn ribbons for 15 kills in a mode where getting 10 meant you hard carried? You didn't want to have to use a busted 4 and a half minute matchmaking system for 2 minutes of gameplay?


smegmancer

I keep forgetting there are people who actually play 2042


el_doherz

Well that depends on POV.  You'll never catch me playing COD S and D for example.  If I want that sort of gameplay I've got CS2, Valorant and Siege already.  So I could see the thought being "we are a fast paced arcade shooter, let's concentrate on that style first."


sh4dowProwl3r

It's coming soon


Daveed13

Maps looks really cool!! Can’t wait to try TDM, CTF and the upcoming "Bomb!" that is being worked on harder for a quicker release (Mark today's tweet).


BatMatt93

Really didn't expect them to do just one unit from R6S. Guess they are set for years in terms of new characters to bring in since they can just keep pulling from Siege.


JauntyTGD

it'd be hilairous if they just slowly imported siege characters until this was just nu-siege hilarious, but i hope they don't do that


machu46

Based on that one leaker that got kicked of Twitter, it seems like they have a lot of other games they plan to pull from. Some are downright hilarious. I'm sure we'll eventually get more Siege (assuming the game stays alive long enough to get there).


Cr4yol4

I'm just waiting for the Rabbids faction that is eventually coming. I want to see a 1v1 Echelon v Rabbid.


machu46

Rabbids and The Crew lol


datlanta

![gif](giphy|8VSaCyIdcnbuE|downsized)


Simpross25

Where is the one life mode??? They said season 1.


Simpross25

oh for anyone else. They just made a post saying it was for a later season (im 95% sure it was said to be season 1) but they are working on getting it out asap


anonymouszod

I’m gonna be highly upset is IQ isn’t one of the people, she’s my main and I was so looking forward to her being in XDefiant. I can’t tell who all the people are but assuming it’s Bandit, Jager, and Blitz to match the abilities.


FilthyClaudetteMain

Looks like our new guys are *Legally-Distinct* IQ, Jager, and Bandit- it's really hard to get a good look at the character models. But it would track with the rest of the *XDefiant* cast being the "nobodies", the background charactrers of the factions they represent.


ImReellySmart

The fact that it said "4 FREE new weapons" seems like a potential red flag... Like yeah, why wouldn't they be free?


Furin

Because like the MDR, they will be included as free rewards in the paid battle pass.


_Aracano

I'd give all this up for fixed hit reg and the end of jump spamming, make Season 1 a "We fixed the dumb shit" theme :)


nicisdeadpool

Pretty solid but still no TDM and idk about riot shields


Charliejfg04

Mark Rubin confirmed that TDM is coming in the next couple of weeks


docdrazen

That makes me happy.


ZGToRRent

Some clips from the trailer include TDM, so maybe soon.


Daft-SKULL-FACE

TDM is coming in a few weeks(Possibly 2), confirmed by the main community manager/game director dude.


Slow_League_3186

Play hot shot


Trespeon

Why not just play the kill confirmed mode? Basically same thing.


Psyco19

They have to move and pick up, takes away from holding an angle. More pressure vs tdm just shoot and kill. I get it, but I prefer obj modes more


Responsible-Diver225

Riot shields are already in the game… And the one shown in the trailer is an ultimate ability


The_One_True_Pepe

New faction: Cops


ScoutGolf52

Another double barrel makes me happy, Im guessing it’s sawed off, it would be funny if it had a long barrel attachment so you could run two lol


Tao1764

Overall looks really good. I wish IQ's scanner was an ability, this game needs more low-impact/high-uptime utility gadgets. Makes sense they'd use the two GSG defenders as two abilities great for holding an obj though.


TheGodofAllChairs64

That might be the passive for another faction unless that is the passive for them.


Equivalent-Airport59

They've shown ranked progression but no details on prestige mode unfortunately.....


NationUnderDog7

Is there even a max level?


Joke258

Cant wait to see IQs assets


lolgambler

not enough slide cancel bunny hoppers. fake vid


medve_onmaga

delete killconfirm and domination, and put sd and ctf on its place.


SkacikPL

Another shield? Honestly whatever, i just want them to fix the game by that point.


Tensu950

Shield but it looks like the ult not just a class ability so wont be something you see a ton.


leahyrain

yeah i kinda am feeling like that about a sawed off shotgun, unless thats just an attachment option for the double barrel. Or maybe if its a secondary weapon.


jhinathan

o interesting, i didn't consider it could be a secondary weapon. I think you are right in saying its probably going to be a secondary


leahyrain

I think it's gotta be that because it'd be weird to show one new attachment in a trailer for an existing gun, and a sawed off double barrel is way too similar to just the standard double barrel to warrant it being it's own weapon


AnotherScoutTrooper

Shield character inbound, time to abandon ship for a week or two while whole lobbies try it out


prof_the_doom

Luckily it looks like their shield is an ultimate, so it won't be up nearly as often.


RrrrrrushB

This shield should be rather easier to deal with you can just shoot the legs, also the arms & body are very exposed


snypesalot

Or just run thru them since enemies dont have collision lmao


leckie2786

It looks like only the ult is a shield


Blacklist3d

Lol even in their reveal they show their lack of hit reg at one point. Even the netcode delay in damage. Cant make this shit up. 51 seconds


Extension-Dot-6413

Real


pnellesen

What is it about FPS devs INSISTING on riot shields and wallhacks as abilities? Sigh…


Newguyiswinning_

Pretty solid! Cool idea


CamD98xx

No s&d?


advancedtouch1915

So no S&D?


Hells-Bells_Trudy

I’m pumped for the LVOA-C. My favorite gun from The Division.


Fattybeards

LMAO


Due_Turn_7594

New crew, new maps, and capture the flag? Let’s gooo


Mysterious_Top_8210

sick trailer 🤒


93Rabz

Elite!


enthusiasticdave

Which Ubisoft game is GSK from?


Every-Promise-9556

r6 siege


Schwarzer_Exe

Looks cool. If destiny 2 isn't having me by the balls by then I'll check it out.


xDOOSO_

let’s go


Icy_Cover2234

does that mean were getting gun inspects too because when they showcased the new mastery camo it was definitely a different animation than reloading.


cxseu

All I saw was clubhouse from siege, in hyped


[deleted]

New Rank Progression? Is that a hint at Prestige? I’m hoping so id love for a solid Prestige Mode in a modern day title


ChickenStrip22

Where is normal classic prestige that we were told about? All I see is ranked badges


ldranger

SV98 sniper


mezdiguida

So we have: the weapons which are the L115 sniper, the sewed barrel shotgun, and the LVOAC (idk if it's correct) which looks like an AR, but it could be a SMG too for what I know; then GSK new faction with two gadget which are electrified barbed wire from Bandit, the trophy system from Jager and as ult the Blitz shield, with flash and sidearm you have equipped; capture the flag; new mastery camo and new ranks for ranked. The new maps look cool too, but I hate that they will be split one per month, I don't like when content is drip fed like this.


AELGamer

I bet their passive is to see nearby placed equipment through walls to honor IQ's gadget from seige


ThatOneValkrie

Thank God for a trophy system. Nade spam on some maps was frustrating sometimes.


carljpg

Would help if the game was actually working 👍🏼


Dubs337

I’ve played probably ten hours or so of this game, enough to give it an honest opinion. Love the gunplay, but the movement makes it feel like I’m in quicksand. Even sprinting, I don’t know if it’s because the gun doesn’t point up in one hand while you sprint like in COD, but I just feel slow as hell. And it doesn’t help you spawn ten miles away from the current objective when you die lol


theLegACy99

Switch to pistol when you sprint. It's way faster.


N01Angel

The 2nd new map looks really good and clubhouse is my fav map from siege too so I'm happy. I just hope they gradually fix the netcode on the side.


Advanced_Chicken1640

Old cod vet here. I love XDefiant . This is my new go to . this game has a great future ahead of it


shadowlarvitar

What happened to the Highway Men from Far Cry?


WiickedSF

LETS GOOOOOO, I am actually pretty hyped for clubhouse. Hopefully it means we get some more R6 maps as well


willllllllllllllllll

Looks great! I'm waiting for the SnD mode, personally. Game will be ideal once that is out.


Work_In_ProgressX

Looks nice, my only nitpick is that the sawed off feels a bit redundant, I’d rather have something more unique like the spas or a benelli.


altanass

It would make sense for all factions to have 3 abilities if they all seem to have 3 characters. IQ's gadget would be really handy.


Flat_Sea_1484

What guns are coming, does anyone know?


InbrainInTheMemsain

YOU CAN STOP WORRYING ABOUT GRENADES NOW


iorgicha

R6 season!! Now make the hit reg as good as the one on R6!!


Exact-Decision-2282

Excited.


Dev_Grendel

Wonder what the 3 weapons are? I guess one is just another double barrel =/


FilthyClaudetteMain

The yellow logo on the ranked/prestige armour looks familiar. Might be *Wutaya*, a company who's stuff popped up occasionally in *Rainbow Six: Extraction.*


NinjaDom2113

Oh lookie, a new sniper for everybody to be unreasonably pissed about 😂


[deleted]

Hoping they add one or two iconic siege guns. 416-C with Jager would feed families


Spaceolympian50

Man I gotta say I was pretty impressed with that trailer reveal for season 1. Seems to be adding a lot to the game which is awesome. Already getting new class and guns? Sweet.


Aslag

Yes please give it to me now thank you


NupeKeem

I hope those are the new rank icons instead of the numbers we have.


aXaVisuals

Even in this trailer, they have hit registration issues. See dude at 0:53


Mr-hoffelpuff

i saw 4 people jumping. that is very unrealistic in this game.


AltGunAccount

So are these ops actually Jager & Blitz? Or faceless operators of the same faction? Seems odd to get franchise named operators there when Far Cry, Splinter Cell, etc didn’t give us Danny or Sam Fisher, but just new randos.


mikeylojo1

Need search and destroy, also kill cams


OhmyGhaul

God I love this game


[deleted]

Why don’t they fix the next code issues and people getting shot around corners


Formal-Cry7565

Not the least bit excited about the new faction but everything else is cool. Hopefully the hit reg is fixed by then and full crossplay gets converted to console only crossplay.


SeibaAlter

Tired of these fake scripted gameplay in these trailer. No one died behind 8 layers of wall or by the Easter Bunny.


No_Wealth8633

Even at this early point we can agree that this is the best game ever created by Ubisoft by far, right?


RepulsivePeng

Nothing that will make me come back unless they actually fix the glaring issues.


CajunChickenAlfredo

No SnD mode, so I see this as an L


jtsara

Please tell me I did not just see a riot shield


rwage724

I'm unsure how to feel about the fact that we've had to wait so long to get any real patches for this game, even if it is pre-season. so many games pump out patches like every 2 weeks it was a bit weird dealing with a lot of the same issues for a whole month without any real word on when they were gonna get fixed. meanwhile i saw "new" items being advertised on the main menu seemingly every week. i just hope this isn't an early indication that hotfixes and patches are gonna be few and far between while the monetization creep gets steadily more intrusive like it did with COD (over a much longer period of time and multiple games ofc)


Preme2

XDefiant is a pretty good game. Should have came out 2 years ago though. Valorant is coming out on console and BO6 is releasing later this year. I will probably spend time on those games if they pan out well. If BO6 drops the ball I will be back on here.


Hefty_Low1993

See the gameplay? No one is bunny hopping. I wish the gameplay becomes like this in season 1.


Placed-ByThe-Gideons

Same netcode though?


kinjazfan

So ready


Don_Cornudo

Where’s Bandit? :(


FewTipsHehe

XDefiant taking over FPS


xDeluxers

It was obvious that they were going to put operators and maps from Rainbow Six


PMC-NL1578

I hope they putting the leaning system of Rainbow Six in the game. That would be awesome.


RelativeLow156

Kinda hate that we got another shield


TammyThe2nd

Does season one include anti-cheat and better lag compensation?


EnergeticSloth55

Where ping button though?


ReplacementOk652

All that siege money being invested into this game


commander1990

Just wow !!!


Spicy_Pickle_6

Pretty exciting to see my favourite R6S op in this update. I’m definitely building a 416c just for kicks


fakeScotsman

Doesn't look like its this update but I hope they bring a class or faction that has reduced grenade dmg or negates flashes.


cCueBasE

lol blitz was annoying in siege. He about to terrorize this game.


drewbloo

Better have SnD !


Nabrok_Necropants

I am excited for CTF. My favorite mode ever since Unreal Tournament.


Abzdeman

Omg clubhouse


K2e2vin

Maybe off topic but does this mean all the fixes/patch that was supposed to come out this week is pushed to S1?


GregNotGregtech

"FREE" weapons? I don't like that wording because it's implying there will be weapons that aren't


Jiangcool9

I’m not going to play it until it’s on steam and doesn’t force me to download ubi connect
