Netcode, Snipers, Bunny Hop Spam Fixes Coming? Xdefiant Patch Notes Y1S0.2
One of the biggest frustrations in XDefiant is jump spamming. In patch Y1S0.3 the game adds aiming penalties for players who spam jump or crouch buttons. This should make jump spamming less effective and give you a better chance of dealing with the pesky enemy.
Snipers have dominated the game since launch due to a bug that allowed users to easily eliminate other players. This patch changes the way snipers flinch when tagged by enemy fire, increasing flinch and maintaining it across multiple hits.
At the same time, there are some fine-tuning adjustments for long-range weapons, including a slightly slower barrel speed when holding your breath with a scoped weapon. PC players can also now toggle ADS after completing a match, as that issue has been fixed.
