XDefiant Season 2 adds new factions, weapons, maps, modes and private matches

XDefiant’s “massive” season two is coming soon, and Ubisoft has revealed everything that’s coming, including a new playable faction in Far Cry: New Dawn Highwaymen.

The Highwaymen come from the post-apocalyptic world of the Far Cry 5 spin-off, and as such have unique gadgets such as a Scrap Turret and Saw Launcher. They are described as “cocky and deadly” and are perfect for aggressive, run-and-gun games.

The Saw launcher is the Highwaymen’s ultra ability. It launches circular saw blades that bounce off walls, bouncing around and taking out enemies in the area. This makes them great for clearing out campers who are in a small area.

Finally, in season two, the anticipated Bomb mode arrives. It’s basically The Call of Duty series Search and Destroy mode, where teams cannot re-spawn, while one team attacks and the other team must defend.

Ubisoft also released an updated version of XDefiant’s Year One roadmap, teasing everything in Seasons Three and Four. Season Two will get a three-hour playtest this coming weekend, and will be fully released on September 24th.
