XDefiant Update Y1S0.4 Patch Notes:
If you thought we wouldn't do another patch in Preseason, you thought wrong! Read more of what is changing in today's Y1S0.4 update.
Gameplay
- Sped up the process of unlocking weapon attachments by lowering the amount of XP needed to level up your primary weapon, from 3,500 to 3,000, and your secondary weapon, from 1,500 to 1,000. This change is retroactive, meaning your existing weapon levels will likely be even higher now. Pause for polite applause.
- To counterbalance this speedier access to performance-enhancing attachments--and provide a greater challenge to the community--Weapon Mastery level requirements have increased. However, any player who has already unlocked Bronze/Silver/Gold skins will get to keep them. We're not monsters.
Netcode
- Improved how quickly your health reacts when being shot, which should reduce the feeling of being shot behind walls.
Weapons
- Players wielding the MDR while strutting around in the Firestorm skin were experiencing an abnormal level of recoil, which has been reset to normal recoil. So strut away.
Factions
- Restored the decorum of lying down when dead to players who previously remained on their feet after dying while under the influence of Libertad's Medico Supremo ultra.
Miscellaneous
- Additional crash fixes.
