I've been ejoying so much of this game, its so refreshing to have a game with a gunplay so good where most of the weapons are also good and reliable and on top of that all the maps are pretty well done and fun and no sbmm its just the cherry on top, hope this game lives on for a couple of months!
Handler I did some testing, and the SVD with Cleaner Incendiary Rounds is a 1 tap to the head from the first tick of burn out to 40m, and at like 50m it takes l think 2-3 ticks. The revolver is a 1 tap to burn within 9m. Only exception is if they're a Phantom (+20 Max HP) and if they get healed immediately
Hi Handler, did you ever play CoD4 Promod back in the day? Your play style and the game’s high TTK and gunplay remind me of that era of FPS. I love the XDefiant videos-your 1HP clips (especially in this video) are very entertaining. :)
good shit as always, really enjoying the xdefiant vids. you dug into the LMGs yet? the M249 is kinda fuckin insane (excellent dmg/headshot multiplier, huge mag, surprising mobility for such a heavy gun)
Handler, unsure if this comment will reach you, but I am also on a Wooting 60HE and I seem to have weird input issues with scroll wheel jumping and then pressing spacebar to jump; it takes a 2nd spacebar input to jump after scroll wheel jump. I would love to know if you experience the same or other strange input issues with this game, your mouse, and Wooting; also possibly an updated settings video or just an overview of them at the beginning/end of one of your next XDefiant uploads. Amazing content, excellent music choice, and thank you for a reply if this comment does reach you.
@@nickxenix it does not, so if your opponents are listening for you it still has a benefit. It just seems a bit redundant with the intel suit as well because you’ll always see them coming
They already are. Mostly using the cleaners fire bullets with other factions, or using the echelon vision goggles with the cleaners. I've seen it so many times already where dudes will be Echelon with a purifier ultra or a cleaner with the Echelon ultra. I stumbled upon a reddit that sells cheats that basically let's you mix and match whatever faction you want and whatever ability and ultra you want. So stupid!
@@shusakudake You are just getting lucky cause most players know the game already has more cheaters than COD mp ATM. Mainly due to the game being free to play.
The reserve ammo feels a bit funky in this game. It feels weird there is reserve ammo without a character that can replenish it. Feels like a way to just stop people going on crazy streaks.
Ahahahahaha I've been playing almost this exact class (Echelon/Intel/Vector) for the past few days (though with a long 686 instead of the Deagle) and it's just nutty how fun it is. Your tracking is just so insanely smooth when you're locked in, such a pleasure to watch.
I wasn’t excited about this game until very recently. With the onslaught of extraction shooters coming out, I’m more happy for regular TDM or battle royale shooters again. Just can’t get on the extraction shooter hype train
@@HandlerYT I think the movement should be a skill gap. The game has always been a movement shooter ever since the beta (or so I’ve heard. I never played the beta). But the ppl complaining should just get better or adapt
Can’t wait for you to hit Level 25 and get out of the newbie playlist mate😂 That’s where the real tryhards are~not these babies you’re playing with😂 Great stuff though!
I had a lot of fun incendiary shotgunning people in this game. However, I don't have much time to play video games recently and the amount of grinding in this game feels a little too much
Saw myself in one of your vids on cod. Was a good game but it was right when you changed the name to shining shotgun so I didn’t know who I was in the game with. Thought there was a cheater at first lol
Everyone is sleeping on the vector. I got my mp7 to gold and I love it, but damn I got my only 80+ kill game using the vector. I've come close with my mp7 but the vector is insane!
If you want to have a hilariously good time. Get 3-6 ftiends into your lobby and all run this operator. You have unlimited wall hacks the entire game and can prefire everyone
Shame the netcode killed this game for me at the moment, the difference in how fast handler kills people and how consistent it is vs a lot of other peoples experience is just...amazing.
Le game is fun for sure. I'd even happily pay 60 dollars for it if it had better sound design (all the guns sound like staplers), more maps nd more guns. The movement also feels a lil clunky
Well you usually only get it once a game and you're still pretty easy to kill, it really ain't that bad. People gloss over the fact that it fits in with the other ultimates, like Libertad for example; you can tank an insane amount of damage with her ult
This game is already dead in the water. Extreme lack of features and content plus its starting to make people realize the benefits of SBMM. This game has 6 months tops before its Rainbow Six Extraction all over again.
No SBMM is truely the best feature. If they fix their connection issues and add a one life mode, this will be a banger of a game
Dude absolutely, they have a good thing going with the game design and everything. Once they fix these issues it’ll be super nice.
SnD is confirmed coming soon
@@BrandonZX6R imagine if they blend this with the Finals
@@Ronbotnik amazing. Super stoked on that!
i never had a connection issue
My friend told me when I downloaded the game, echelon is wall hacks with a one shot pistol, I have not used another faction since playing
i personally love libertad and ulting on a hard point with it usually ends up with a 5 piece mcnugget

Definitely digging the xdefiant vids, hope you’ll keep uploading them❤
heck yeah hope to see more of this game on your channel

i cant be the only one that feels like bullet dont hit half the time even if youre on target
Poor netcode
True it’s noticeable hopefully they fix it soon
yeah its bad, I sometimes die behind cover too.
It has worse net code than BF4 did on launch.
I already know that the pro scene is gonna be awesome in this game.
I've been loving xDefiant too, looking forward to their take on SnD.
Way more chaotic and higher skill gameplay. Glad you decided to play xdefiant. Keep it up!
You are an absolute savage at every game you play it’s wild. GG
Was just about to go to sleep when you uploaded :)
Dude same
Love your videos, this game looks very fun
XDefiant videos give me the same vibes aa when you played mw19 ❤
AK is crazy great, first weapon I've unlocked every attachment for. Finally, some good AK representation in video games haha

Just now getting into electronic music so hearing it in the background of the gameplay was a nice little cherry on top :D
Confirmed one life mode coming soon btw!!! Absolutely loving this game and love seeing the GOAT shred in it! ❤

Can't wait for this game to get SnD and watch you play the mode. Man is this game fun, been having a blast with it without the stress of sbmm.
FYI you don’t need suppressor on echelon, their passive is they don’t appear on minimap
Does it also make it so that the enemies can't physically hear the gunshots?
@@nickxenix it does not, so if your opponents are listening for you it still has a benefit. It just seems a bit redundant with the intel suit as well because you’ll always see them coming
@@TheDeviantStrain Them not knowing about your location is an advantage.
Didnt know that :o
Do you think you would play more of this than COD if they added snd?
Hey at least people will be less inclined to cheat if it’s built into the game. That’s some brilliant game design!

The reserve ammo feels a bit funky in this game. It feels weird there is reserve ammo without a character that can replenish it. Feels like a way to just stop people going on crazy streaks.
Echelon is one of my favorite factions. Right next to Phantoms and Libertad.
It's fine for objection based games which is what most of the modes are at least. Gives you an advantage to hold the point
The Legend of Handler.
Ahahahahaha I've been playing almost this exact class (Echelon/Intel/Vector) for the past few days (though with a long 686 instead of the Deagle) and it's just nutty how fun it is.
Your tracking is just so insanely smooth when you're locked in, such a pleasure to watch.
Having a lot of fun with this game so far
Isn't a silencer with the Echelon passive kind of redundant?
Bro you gained so much subs in a small period of time. I remember you had like 80k not long ago 😭
hey handler, what mouse do you use? is there one in particular that you rely on for gaming? nice shots/ content btw!!
I use a Finalmouse ULX. Hard to get your hands on one, but mice are all personal preference! I just prefer lighter mice.
I appreciate it :)
Try the M16 next brother, keep up the great content and take care.
I wasn’t excited about this game until very recently. With the onslaught of extraction shooters coming out, I’m more happy for regular TDM or battle royale shooters again. Just can’t get on the extraction shooter hype train
Handler what’s your option on the movement on this game?
I think it's fine tbh. I never had an issue with it during the betas/playtests.
@@HandlerYT yeah I like the movement that’s currently in the game but they might nwrf it cuz these cod shitters can’t aim in a MOVEMENT SHOOTER BTW

Bruh, first clip, insane. That shit aint easy 🔥
Bro went off in the first 50 seconds... Love me some handy
Fourth Echelon? Loved the content!
Have you tried tac fps games like cs or Val?
Does ads feel a bit off on M&K for anyone else?
Can’t wait for you to hit Level 25 and get out of the newbie playlist mate😂
That’s where the real tryhards are~not these babies you’re playing with😂
Great stuff though!
I really hope you upload more XD content.
Personally didnt like playing this game, but I love watching you run through teams
Does this game have zero recoil? Can’t wait to play, looks like I don’t even have to ads bullet spread is tight
hoping XDefiant gets a one life gamemode sometime.
Handler you have to try the shotgun on that small arena type map its actually insane
Shining shotgun in XDefiant?
Good news handler, data miners have discovered S&D is coming
I wonder what his dpi is in the mouse in this game?
15 sens (800 dpi)
@@HandlerYT thanks for the confirmation! Video quality is top notch too!
Soooo where is the recoil for the AK at???.. lol, clearly we saw it being at lvl 2 and I know it has a lot of recoil when I use it (I’m also on PC)
I hate to break it to you. But there is hardly any recoil in this game.
Absolutely dialed in already
Handler, SnD is confirmed for season 1
So, im very interested to know Hamdlers take on this game. Do you believe this game is truly going to be the Call Of Duty Killer?
My aim is pretty good on cod but this game my aim is dog dookie lol I’m trying to figure out if it’s the settings or if I just stink.
The hit reg in this game is so bizarre.
What your in game sens/dpi
Handler is playing like his life is on the line lol
How can they hit so many marks right yet then fuck up by adding wall hacks?
I had a lot of fun incendiary shotgunning people in this game. However, I don't have much time to play video games recently and the amount of grinding in this game feels a little too much
2:36 Handler became a robot man, like that´s actually cheat level aim
I can’t find myself using anyone else the intel suit for me just can’t be beat. Was using the healing bio vida. Still think the walls are so strong
I’m telling you I play in the same style as you and I use the P90, 50 round mag is insane.
i really loved the part when bbbbrrrrrrrrrrrr
Saw myself in one of your vids on cod. Was a good game but it was right when you changed the name to shining shotgun so I didn’t know who I was in the game with. Thought there was a cheater at first lol
The one is basically hard point

Is xDefiant the cod killer??
No
No
the best thing this game has going for it is no sbmm, so no
can we all just talk abt his aim for a sec holy damn
Hopefully next update they fix hitboxes
after a match with 90% of my deaths being with people using that wall hacks I honestly decided to stop playing this game
Judging by the score of every gameplay Handler never plays objective.
Don’t be stuck only on Dom the other modes are fun too just gotta give em a try
@handler do you Like this game?
It's a fun arcade shooter, but I won't play it too much until they add a one life mode.
Le game is fun for sure. I'd even happily pay 60 dollars for it if it had better sound design (all the guns sound like staplers), more maps nd more guns. The movement also feels a lil clunky
