Ubisoft’s hero shooter XDefiant stands out for its unique faction component. Factions in XDefiant have special abilities inspired by popular Ubisoft IPs.
Every faction in XDefiant has a passive and then the choice of two abilities to bring into a match. They also each have an ultimate ability called an ultra. These abilities define each faction’s strengths and strategies in the game.
Every faction in XDefiant has its own interesting playstyles. Here are the current factions in the hero shooter.
This faction is inspired from Yara revolutionaries found in the Carribean in Far Cry 6. This faction is focused on healing themselves and their allies, making them very useful and supportive to have.
With shields and barriers, this faction is focused on battlefield control and defense. These characters are inspired by the ex-Ghosts in Ghost Recon Phantoms, using the game’s many gadgets to help tank damage.
This faction inspired by Splinter Cell is all about stealth. Your playstyle is focused on staying hidden and dealing surprise damage to enemies before they can react. Echelon players want to outsmart opponents and always remain one step ahead.
The damage-focused cleaners come from The Division 2. All of their abilities are focused on ensuring your dealing the most damage possible, whether it’s using a flamethrower or throwing a Molotov cocktail. Cleaners are basically just very explosive, making you tough to approach.
DedSec are inspired by the hackers in Watch Dogs 2. You become a very disruptive force on the battlefield, interfering with enemies’ HUD and abilities. You also have Spiderbots that do some dirty work for you.
This is all you need to know about factions in XDefiant.
