@@sambeast13 only if you change faction, changing the faction gadget is the better way to go about it without resetting the ult, since it also happened to me with the barbed wire
They need a cap on how many people can use the same characters because ive run into games where 90% of the lobby was using the echelon wall hack ability
By far one of the worst updates I’ve ever seen in a game. FPS has dropped significantly on all platforms since the update. All factions got some sort of nerf but DedSec with that annoying and broken Spiderbot got a buff and now you can’t even shoot them. I’d like to have a talk with the guy who thought the Spiderbot was a good idea in the first place. Netcode is still horrible and I keep getting shot around walls. Jump and crouch spam still a big issue, there was at least 1-2 players in each of the 15 games I played today just hitting their crouch or jump buttons as fast as they physically could. Overall massive L for XDefiant, it’s a shame cause I was genuinely eager to start grinding the new skins.
that not being able to use abilities thing has been in the game since preseason, had it happen twice so far, you can fix it by changing operators and changing back
The update is amazing the only thing I don't like is that there is not any epic/legendary skin from the battle pass for the new weapons just like the mdr which had it
Idk. I loved this game but ever since the update there's been more bunny hopping and hit detection feels worst. As well as spiderbots i cant shoot them off. So dumb. Dissapointed
the best thing is the battlepass is refundable. you pay 1k and recive 1.3k if you complete it. if they put a penalty for leavers will make the game much better btw
They should've put at least one of them the first unlock feels dumb that a new weapons came out and one has none to try. They are free anyway and will no doubt have a easy challenge way to get them after BP so no need to be high.
Spider Bot is super buggy can’t even shoot it once it grabs on or as it approaches half the time it’s glitched in the ground ; & then lobbies are super laggy , in comparison to preupdate FPS show 140-170 but literally looks & plays like 30. But literally had a ENTIRE team using spider bots & my team ended up leaving the lobby , 3 separate times.then my intel suit wouldn’t refresh after using it .
I like a lot of the additions they made for S1 as far as content and guns go. I main Phantoms so I felt the nerf was kinda harsh but I get it. Spider bots need a rework imo, it’s now unfair that you yourself can’t get it off your face. Echelon nerf is kinda meh; you don’t really notice a difference all that much. I still think it should just work for whoever activates the ability instead of the whole team seeing enemies. Otherwise I’m just glad to see they’re updating the game, trying new things and seeing our reactions. It makes me feel like they’re actually working on the big stuff behind the scenes like hit reg and netcode since they’re implementing little changes here and there. Btw @Espresso I’m a big fan of the vids, love the content! I hope to come across you in a lobby one day!
Changing the boosters to only in game was huge for me. Especially when it takes quite a while to queue for matches and that took most my booster to good stuff.
For some reason my game was glitch cuz I had every single upgrade for my secondary even the brown silver and gold also I still have the killstreak showing
Has anyone else noticed that the Firebomb in the Cleaners class acting weird? Like now wherever I'm in close quarters getting shot at, or bump into the enemy it will cancel the action. I can't pinpoint what is triggering this, but I was not having any sort of problems like this before
5:20 Same bug in libertad faction. You need to switch your faction or character for one life, then switch back and your ability works again. Annoying but they will fix it quick I hope.
I think echelon is glitched. Every time you’re EMP’d or if deadsec uses their super, you can’t use the intel suit for the whole game unless you respawn with a different class and then switch back
i use the spider bot & i play with the controller edge with the lowest trigger stopper setting but sometimes the spider just doesn’t wanna activate prob cause of the trigger stoppers
I don't like that they fixed the "bug" where you can shoot the spider bot off you. And I am even "that guy" that often uses it! Even more, I don't like that it is nowhere to be found in the patch notes - since we have told how there would be complete openness and no stealth buffs and nerfs. And this is a HUGE buff, but the patch notes plays it off like the spider bot mostly got nerfed due to the time increase. But you can still drop that thing A LOT. I didn't think the shield needed nerf. I know its a popular ability, and used a lot - but also... easy to shoot, if more than one shoot at it, its gone in no time, even with the 500hp, on top of that EMP and deadsec hack can take it out in a split second.
Did they change m16?! I swear there is a delay between bursts now. Before the patch I could spam my r1 mouse click button to kill enemies and now it’s delayed. Don’t knowing intended or bugged. This makes the m16 really shit now
What is wrong with people's logic. "I still find myself dying by snipers, so that shouldn't be allowed" mate it's a part of the game, it's a weapon in the game that you are allowed to use, maybe they are just a skilled player and know how to use it well, and even if they used an ar, they would still kill you alot. I hate that argument about snipers, just leave them alone, people are just good at the game just because you can't accept that someone killed you first before you killed them and by a weapon that takes more skill than yours. That's your own problem. No one says "I'm going to sweat this game out, let me put the m44 on" 😂 no they say "let's use an ar or smg"
Wish they would have nerfed or got rid of bunny hopping entirely. If I wanted to be miserable and play mw3 I would, but I left that pile of shit to play something new and hopefully better. I just want a game where movement isn’t what defines how good a player is. I miss when it was just based on weapon accuracy
Everything is great in S1 except for the spiderbot, I can't shoot it anymore by looking down at the ground, and somehow it seems like it has more range than before because it's able to jump me from corners and shit, anyway what thing should be reworked completely, it's cheap, doesn't help the team, and is so bugged that it just makes for a frustrating experience, and since they don't seem to have a plan to do a proper team limit on the number of operator per team. At least they need to nerf that thing to the ground or rework it bc it's so annoying right now.
This game needs a barebones playlist without abilities or the games dead. I’m already tired of these “hero” abilities. It’s boring, cheesy and unbalanced. Give us just regular gunfights…
I wonder what Season 2 will have. I would like a full auto pistol, the Stechkin APB. Thought of getting some more Soviet Cold War weapons into the arsenal.
5:20 The bug where youre locked out of using your ability, if you switch to the other factions ability and then switch back, you can use your ability like normal again. Although if you switch to another faction, youll lose your ultimate charge percentage and have to start over
Games gotten worse. Terrible upadate. Stutter lag and fps spikes. Stupid bullet lag. Getting shit well behind walls still. Over all they need to steup it up quick or this game is dead in a month.
It added shit. I throw my grenades and 4/10 the grenade glitches out and just transports to a different dimension. Not to mention the fact that I can use my ability 1 time per match. Makes sense
Due to the new booster changes, i used all my Battle Pass Boosters i stockpiled and got 8 hours in game time worth of Boosters. My Weapon Xp i'm saving for when i unlock the LVOA-C.
To bad they gotta lie and say season 1 needs a week of practice for ranked to be released just say it’s not ready season one ass rn was only looking forward to ranked
Bro This game just stupid playin on like 10 fps, cant win a gunfight. Why tf do we have to wait 1 week for rank? Cant shoot spiderbots anymore this Game gettin Worse
Personally IMO and experience, hit detection just got worse. Just blazed an entire mag at close rage into someone head and they didn’t die… 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻 Also since season 1 dropped…I’m only placed into matches that have already started, constantly. Cannot get placed into a fresh game from the start.
We need more game modes. OG cods had gun game, infected, one in the chamber, snd, capture the flag, and many more as staples on launch. Regardless of OG cod, differing game modes keep you on the game. I don't mind being 'drip fed' content, but not with game modes
I really do enjoy this game. A fresh start instead of purchasing fps games (looking at you cod) for half my soul. Xdefiant's battlepass price is not too bad as well 😁
The bug where you can't activate your ability happened to me a few times in the pre-season with different factions. All I had to do was change to another faction after dying (then back to the one that was bugged if you want), and it seemed to fix it for me. On another note, all the changes seem to be positive imo.
@@WarrenChandler that's wrong then, i love using Spiderbots but makes them more OP now despite the nerf to the cooldown. Can you shoot it off a teammate or has that gone too?
@@dgeneratio1 Can still shoot it off a team mate, and they are apparently adding the bug back in so you can shoot it yourself again until they find a more balanced counter to it. :D
I’m convinced that the people running spider bots are just doing it as a troll
The only time I ran a spider bite that's exactly what I was trying to do.
Can confirm
i mainly just throw mine out when i can. Double Betties is more my thing.
Yup
I can confirm. When me and my mate find the opponents too easy. We run spiderbots for trolls and Shotguns
Anyone else’s game laggy after the update on ps5???
Super laggy and buggy man! Ps5 as well. I almost couldn’t play it
Glad it's not just me but they need to sort it as it's not playing well
Same had to stop playing as it was so bad !!
Yea bro its horrible feels like I'm running 30 fps in every fight
Laggy every time I play to be honest
The spiderbot killing you at the end when you get your ultra. I felt that
Having some pretty bad lag spikes on ps5 since the update, been really annoying
Why is this happening it's screws your game every game it's like I'm playing on 30fps in every gun fight
It’s been extremely poor performance wise since the update, almost unplayable. Very disappointing so far
Omg same it’s so annoying I thought it was my console
@@cryptic_is_himno it’s actually unplayable, my frames drop so much I can’t even play it
@@Isaiahxsan same here it sucks
That ability cooldown not resetting is happening for me on the hacking ability too, change faction and change back to fix it
Do you lose your ultimate charge up after switching factions still?
@@metahater2994You lose it yes

@@mlexi Ahhhh gotcha! Didn't know about that one. :p
Yeah it's been happening to me with the wall hack character sometimes I pop it and it makes a weird sound and shuts down lime it might scan once
After the update my game is lagging and stuttering every single game. Heard a few others saying the same.
Unfortunately on PS5 the game is unplayable frame dropping servers studders
Would love to play this with my friends.... on Xbox.....
Im so made at Xbox rn
You ain't a lyin
What happened?
@@djmax01Xbox is down I think
@@Kai-ps8lu it is
They need a cap on how many people can use the same characters because ive run into games where 90% of the lobby was using the echelon wall hack ability
think it through.
The worst fix ever is that they fixed that you cannot look down and shoot a spider bot any more if it's on your face.
I noticed this earlier when I was trying out the mk and thought it was a bug
If it’s a real change and we’re stuck with the spider on that’s annoying
It’s great how i can get mastery camo on any weapon without having to rank up other weapons. Something COD hasn’t thought of
By far one of the worst updates I’ve ever seen in a game.
FPS has dropped significantly on all platforms since the update.
All factions got some sort of nerf but DedSec with that annoying and broken Spiderbot got a buff and now you can’t even shoot them. I’d like to have a talk with the guy who thought the Spiderbot was a good idea in the first place.
Netcode is still horrible and I keep getting shot around walls.
Jump and crouch spam still a big issue, there was at least 1-2 players in each of the 15 games I played today just hitting their crouch or jump buttons as fast as they physically could.
Overall massive L for XDefiant, it’s a shame cause I was genuinely eager to start grinding the new skins.
that not being able to use abilities thing has been in the game since preseason, had it happen twice so far, you can fix it by changing operators and changing back
700,000 score for GSK is crazy!! And you have to manually activate it, I wasted hella score and the daily challenges cuz I thought it was automatic.
Same 😭
Dedsec was the same xp….
700k isn’t that bad 3-4 full days play & I did same played 3 games & noticed didn’t have any score 😂
@@xxlumasxxget a life 😂
I'm not making any purchase's other than the battle pass so I can wait!
The update is amazing the only thing I don't like is that there is not any epic/legendary skin from the battle pass for the new weapons just like the mdr which had it
bro i don't know a single creator on that list. i will wait to buy anything until yours is there.
Idk. I loved this game but ever since the update there's been more bunny hopping and hit detection feels worst. As well as spiderbots i cant shoot them off. So dumb. Dissapointed
the best thing is the battlepass is refundable. you pay 1k and recive 1.3k if you complete it. if they put a penalty for leavers will make the game much better btw
I don’t understand why the new weapons are so high up in the battlepass
@@TheSaltiePlays it's pretty typical for battle passes, I feel like atleast
They should've put at least one of them the first unlock feels dumb that a new weapons came out and one has none to try. They are free anyway and will no doubt have a easy challenge way to get them after BP so no need to be high.

@@anthonywilson8778 doesn’t work anymore since the update
the game is ok but it's still not gonna make me wanna play it over halo, cod, or gears
Can they leave snipers alone ffs. Only reason I play the game over call of duty.
they adjusted the middle crate on dumbo just a little. and looks like the lighting on that map has been adjusted too.
Changing the boosters to only in game was huge for me. Especially when it takes quite a while to queue for matches and that took most my booster to good stuff.
Always made me angry how Activision would never make this change🤦♂️
Xbox Servers are down😭🙄😤
So ridiculous how today of all days it goes down. I'm not even playing on Xbox and even I'm annoyed, like wtf.
Still waiting MnK support on console. I know it the least priority thing but, hopefully it is added soon.
they said it will come s1 there was something in the vid from Ubisoft

Agreed. We need more of those! Escort too.
I think echelon is glitched. Every time you’re EMP’d or if deadsec uses their super, you can’t use the intel suit for the whole game unless you respawn with a different class and then switch back
Season one more like season none. There is nothing but the battle pass and the new maps is hard to find in lobbys nothing else
And the battle pass is super trash like worst than any battle pass on any cod
In game means also lobby or just in in game?

They fixed the hitreg? Lately I have been constantly hit through the walls
Very much doubt it .mark rubin said the main priority was hit reg and that was over a year ago he said that
Is there a way where I can enjoy this game without being absolutely destroyed by sweat players?? Asking for a friend.
I wouldn't say No if they made that Rocky map into a 24/7 Moshpit as would be good for leveling up weapons (even Shotguns).
You can’t aim down and shoot spiderbots anymore it’s so stooopid. If you get caught you’re stuck.
To bad they gotta lie and say season 1 needs a week of practice for ranked to be released just say it’s not ready season one ass rn was only looking forward to ranked
You can not shoot the spider bot off anymore idk if it was a buff or glitch but very annoying.
Spiders are so busted it makes me not wanna play the game. I can't shoot them at all when they are on your face
as a seleste hardcore main yeah i cant use my biovida(thats what i used for tdm) either same thing there hope they fix it
Spiderbot can no longer be shot off your face while looking down, stupid change
Lvl 50 sniper a bit high for my liking but lowering then battlepass xp is nice

Cant shoot spiderbots anymore this Game gettin Worse
Oh And there still missin some bronze colors 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
just when the servers go down 💀
Ikr I really want to play so badly but I can't
Hit reg is still disgusting, I like the game but it is not a fun experience at the moment
Is the new map as bad as nuketown and shipment? Especially shipment? I hate that map
They’ve made snipers impossible to use. This season is already worse than preseason
So cool to see this game thriving 🙌
anyone having fps drop on ps5 on certain maps?
Yes it’s annoying
Yep!
Not going to play it again until they fix the jumping it's just too much.
Personally IMO and experience, hit detection just got worse. Just blazed an entire mag at close rage into someone head and they didn’t die… 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻

idk what are you playing ! I didn't face anyone bunny hopping ... jumpshot yes but no bunny hopping
I’m gonna be completely honest… that’s a skill issue
Agree
Bunny hopping is fucking corny @@Whirlyboi33
Jump nerf needs more nerf. Even with the most recent nerf to it, smgs still obliterate close quarters with 3-4 jumps.. its frustrating
Had some fun with this game but it got boring quick.
WE WANT CODE "ESPRESSO' 🤬
they need to fix bunny hoping and hit reg for me to come back
Holy shit look at the netcode lmfao rhey still havent fixed it
Wall hacks get no tangible nerf. Nice. (Not)
Bug with Spiderbot is you can no longer shoot it off your face.
I noticed as a full MP7 clip couldn't destroy it when normally about 30-50% of a clip of MP7 would take it out.
Sadly it's not a bug, it's how it was intended to be originally apparently. Being able to shoot it was a bug.
@@WarrenChandler that's wrong then, i love using Spiderbots but makes them more OP now despite the nerf to the cooldown. Can you shoot it off a teammate or has that gone too?

its bugged atm its not you guess patch will come today or tomorrow
At the end of the video I always hear: “My name has been Espresso”.
He’s got to be literally saying that
I just wished they had actually added weapon inspects
The Achelon ability bug where you can’t activate it for the rest of the game happened to me so many times yesterday
Dedsec is horrible to play with or against.
@2:50 guess bunny hopping is still not nerfed 🙄
I’ve learned that this community absolutely can not make their mind up with what they want in general
Love how this was supposed to out perform cod lol
The Battle Pass is really underwhelming... nothing in there makes me want to buy it.
