Arcade Modes:

The Arcade type features vast, roomy maps that offer players multiple routes to rotate and take cover in. This game type has three match modes that players can revel in: Domination, Occupy, and Hot Shot.

Domination

Domination, in which two teams of six players each compete against each other to capture and hold three control points on the map, is a popular game mode. The team with the most points at the end of the match wins, and the opposing team strives to take over the control points, so players must defend them from incoming attacks.

Occupy

Occupy, which is similar to Domination but has only one capture zone that moves around the map instead of three fixed control points, is another game mode. Players must move from point to point to capture the new zone, and the team that successfully holds it down is awarded the point.

Hot Shot

Hot Shot is inspired by Call of Duty’s Kill Confirmed mode. In this mode, players eliminate their opponents, who drop an emblem upon elimination. The opposing team can pick up the emblem to receive points in their overall match point pool. Nevertheless, if a teammate of the eliminated player picks up the emblem, it denies points to the opposing team.

Linear Modes:

The Linear type, on the other hand, includes long maps with a starting and an endpoint, with limited rotation points. Players must hold down particular points to stop the opponent’s progression through the map. There are two game modes in XDefiant’s Linear type: Zone Control and Escort.

Zone Control

Zone Control is similar to Domination and Occupy, but it has a unique twist. There are five zones for players to capture or defend, and the attacker’s goal is to unlock and progress through the zones. The defender’s goal is to prevent this from happening.

Escort

Meanwhile, Escort, which is inspired by the payload push game type in Overwatch, sees players pushing a payload robot from the starting point to the endpoint with capture points in the middle. The attackers need to get the payload to the endpoint to win, while the defenders must prevent this from happening.

To summarize, XDefiant presents players with a range of game modes that cater to various playstyles. The game’s arcade and linear types offer players with a diverse set of gameplay experiences that are sure to keep them engaged for hours on end. So, are you excited about playing XDefiant?
