New shooter XDefiant hit by cheaters just 2 days after launch
May 23, 2024 11:46 AMXDefiant, Ubisoft's new free-to-play FPS, has only been out for a day but is already facing issues with cheaters using wall hacks and aimbots. Despite this, the majority of players are not affected, and Ubisoft employs BattleEye anti-cheat software to combat such exploits. Yet, due to its free-to-play nature, banned users can easily create new accounts to rejoin the game. Players are encouraged to report any cheaters they encounter to help maintain a fair in-game environment.
How can players deal with cheaters in XDefiant?Players encountering cheaters in XDefiant should report them using the in-game reporting system. This helps Ubisoft identify and ban offending accounts, although the game’s free-to-play nature means cheaters might return with new accounts.
XDefiant, resembling classic FPS games like Modern Warfare 2, blends fast-paced arcade action with modern gameplay mechanics. Despite the cheating issues, the game has been well-received for its nostalgic appeal and engaging short-session gameplay. BattleEye, the anti-cheat system used, is also employed in games like Rainbow Six: Siege and Escape from Tarkov, both of which have faced similar cheating challenges.
