Remember that Insider Sessions is covered by NDA which prohibits the recording/capturing/sharing of XDefiant visually.

Overview

Welcome back to those who have particpated and everyone new to XDefiant! We’re excited to share with everyone this work-in-progress build, designed to get your early feedback on the game. Please remember that work-in-progress means that exactly and so you will encounter bugs, non finished assets, and more. Thank you for participating and giving feedback!

Controls

This week’s focus is on controls/aiming! Here is a little more information on the topic:

Gamepad Default: Adjusted our default vertical sensitivity to display equally to horizontal. Should now display 40 Horitzontal and 40 Vertical.

Mouse Default: Adjusted default ADS factor for low zoom to match high zoom.

We’re still very focused on optimizing our gamepad controls as a whole and are currently investigating changes to our look acceleration which may be adjusted in a future update!
