Report: XDefiant Year 1 Weapons, Season 2 Faction “Highwaymen” and a Lot More Leaked via Datamine

Just a few days ago, Ubisoft released the Season 1 patch for XDefiant, and you know what that means — the download files hare going to get datamined to hell and back! This time around, the XDefiant Year 1 weapons planned for Season 2 and beyond have leaked via datamining.

Before diving in, note that the info below is from datamined info, and as such, nothing has been confirmed by the developers. The items listed below could be placeholder files, change or be removed completely. Got that? Good. Now that’s out of the way, read on for what the devs tucked in the Season 1 patch files.

XDefiant Year 1 Weapons via Datamine:

Season 1

• LVOA
• L115
• Sawed off shotgun

Season 2

• PP19
• SPAS
• LMG

Season 3

• DMR
• M1A
• FAMAS

Season 4

• SRSA is the only weapon

XDefiant Upcoming Factions:

Alongside the weapons, the XDefiant Season 2 faction seems to have been leaked as well! Players can expect another faction from the Far Cry series to make an appearance, and they will be the Highwaymen from Far Cry New Dawn!  The faction will have a turret ability, though it’s not specified whether this is an ultra or one of the skills the faction will have.

Alongside the turret, a character model for the Far Cry New Dawn faction has surfaced as well, though it’s clearly an early work of it:

Continuing with factions, dataminer TxLimited outed that aside from the Season 2 faction being based on Far Cry New Dawn, Season 3 will be based on the Assassin’s Creed franchise, Season 4 will focus on Ghost Recon, and Season 5 will feature Rabbids?! Yep, apparently that’s the plan.

So sorry Ubisoft 💀

S2 – Highwaymen
S3 – Assassin Creed
S4 – Ghost Recon
S5 – I hope this is a troll

While a slew of mastery weapon camos were added in Season 1, it seems the next camo players will be able to earn will be platinum!

So sorry Ubisoft 💀

S3 – Assassin Creed

Finally, it seems some of the Year 2 weapons have been spotted as well, and again, these could be placeholder stuff since we are a long way away from Year 2 even being a reality.

I Wanna add to the weapons that are currently planned For Year 2 this can easily change and they can switch them around whenever they want.

YEAR 2 WEAPONS
UMP
SMG
AUG
SAIGA12
SG BENELLIM4

I just want to reiterate that none of the info above has been verified by Ubisoft, and as such, should be taken with a grain of salt. Having said that, a lot of datamines do come to fruition given they are in the game files for a reason.
