XDefiant has breathed new life into the FPS style, however for some gamers who’ve jumped into the sport, one weapon is ruining the sport and making it tough to benefit from the motion: Sniper rifles.

Whereas evaluations for the sport have typically been optimistic, like several new sport, there have been complaints. Whereas the gradual weapon development might be essentially the most irritating problem proper now, if you happen to’ve been enjoying XDefiant, the percentages are fairly excessive that you just’ve been demolished by a sniper rifle.

That’s definitely been the case for me, and now gamers have gone to Reddit to complain in regards to the snipers, calling them “ridiculously overpowered,” whereas additionally suggesting what Ubisoft must do to repair them.

“Snipers are ridiculously overpowered,” wrote The_Stiffmeister. “Even at shut vary they will scope in and shoot whereas getting drilled within the face with an [assault rifle]. Zero flinch or motion punishment. The sniper lobbies make the sport unfun.”

This sentiment was echoed by many, with Snooperal saying their “solely gripe with snipers is the truth that they’re higher shotguns than shotguns,” whereas More_Tackle9491 stated they “would do something for a no sniping foyer,” because it’s “not possible to compete.”

As for what’s inflicting the problem, nearly all of gamers agree that the shortage of flinch on sniper rifles is problematic. Flinch makes your recoil enhance whenever you’re being shot, however as snipers don’t have it, you’ll be able to shoot them whereas they’re scoped in and their intention isn’t affected.

“They 100% want extra flinch. They’re already fairly near being well-balanced with their gradual reloads and gradual ADS instances, and I don’t thoughts being quickscoped both. In the event that they obtained the drop on me, I believe they rightfully earned it. I additionally don’t thoughts their one-hit kill,” wrote Ggun_14. “Nonetheless, with the shortage of flinch, I misplaced depend of what number of instances I’ve dumped 4 to five rounds into an individual and so they nonetheless one faucet me with zero consequence. If I’m the one which initiates the struggle and I’m touchdown correct a number of photographs sooner than they will? I’m the one that ought to have the higher hand, not them. This isn’t a ability problem. It’s a transparent design flaw.”

There’s undoubtedly room for snipers in XDefiant, however the truth that they’re stronger at short-range than an SMG just like the P90 is problematic. With loads of patches coming down the road, we will solely hope that Ubisoft will tackle this quickly.
