Yeah its pretty easy to see. Only time I struggle is when things are moving super fast. They are easy to miss if you are shooting at another person while you're on an objective.
Most people seem to for get that Deadsec has 2 abilities! Another counter to the spider can be the hack ability. Just make it turn around and run back to its sender!
@@Qrayzyyits fantastic to use against the phantom barrier too, cause they’re usually hiding behind it and all of a sudden you can shoot through and they cant
@@Cube930 also works with the Incendiary Drone. But to a lesser degree. It just causes it to explode earlier instead of flying the distance first. But having that kind of reaction speed isn't common so...
the cleaners passive is definitely top tier but definitely give the others a try too their ultimates strength can’t even compare to the flamethrower imo
i'd add that emps counter all libertad and echelon abilities (except ults of course). also dedsec hack is good against phantom shield and libertad health pack
Yeah man earned a Sub! This video should be mandatory to watch before playing XDefiant just saying a little tutorial action! The amount of new players I see getting frustrated because they don't have a clue what is going on or what does what , meanwhile Steve is butt sliding and bunny hopping & tbag crouching while shooting with Golden ACR or MP7. We are all Steve this is the problem haha new players need help fast!
aye thank you for the kind words and sub! and i 100% agree especially nowadays it feels like every gets so good at games so fast it can be hard to keep up but learning how to outplay your opponents can help you just as much as outgunning them
At 3:46 the walls on the side are easy to wallbang (the wall removes like no damage), so if you see a shield there, you can just shoot the wall in the corner and get a free kill.
I think the best way to take out a bubble is with a spider, rushing it with cleaners or any other faction is a sure fire way to make you dead, that or wait it out but that's not always an option in the final seconds of some objective modes.
another thing is if your opponent is using the echelon scan on you and you have good game sense you could play off them being able to see you and juke them into pushing through a cooked nade or firebomb or just timing your swing on them really well. they have to be close (ish) to see you so when you get that notif always be ready
Great video. Although with the spider-bot latching on to your teammate, melee it instead of firing, as if you fire, the enemies can see you on the minimap. WIth meele, you can destroy the spider-bot if it latches on your teammate while remaining silent.
The other day 1 person on the enemy team was using the spider and I went to shoot it off my teammate but ran out of ammo the spider jumped off him and onto me.... Idk if I wanna get close again haha cause correct me if I'm wrong they can't have 2 spiderbots at 1 time right? With only 1 person running the spider? Idk if it was just a glitch or what but yeah jumped straight to my face and the guy it was on just took off and I got killed it was stupid haha
Quick update as of S1, Spiderbot counter on looking down and shooting no longer works. They need to adjust this to being able to remove it manually of a click of a button
You said it. Intel suit is so busted. But phantoms, constantly putting down shields while also having 20% more hp. Is also busted to. Those 2 things need some tweaking. I think 100hp for all is just the best thing to do for phantoms.
I think 110 would be fine. 105 no difference really. Phantoms are higher skill to use properly and don't have insta kill abiltys like cleaners and spies. Their supposed to be tanky. 120 is too muchu unfortunately (Phantom Main top 200 here lol)I agree 110 should be the STANDERD though@@Qrayzyy
@@rapid_rivers3294 They already have a shield ability to win gunfights. They dont need the 20% extra hp. They're support, and have 2 shield abilities for soaking damage in firefights forcing others to use emp and lose ability to grenade. Or use cleaners with firebomb and rush a point to clear it. Hence why they're called cleaners. 100hp for all. And nothing can change my mind about it. Its balanced even without that 120hp. Think about how many times you see phantoms as players of the game. Its more common than any other class. For good reason. Snipers use them, smg run and gunners sometimes use them, they're just abuseable just like the intel suit rn.
@@AdrianSmacks Yes i know that, but its a double entendre. Its a joke, and i thought it was pretty clever and funny personally. I did play The Division, so i already know. Joke missed, day ruined.
I feel like theres can be some ways to counter echelon and libertad, in a lot of ways as well. When in comes with individual 1 on 1 interaction with there ultras phantom can do good with libertad because phantom ultra do actually 200 damage so he can one shot her, but thats more on 1 on 1 interaction with a full team is very tough honestly, also echelon goggles can beat libertad ultra with two shots you can kill her, and for echelon is hard because she is definitely the best faction, you cover pretty good some of her counterplay when it comes down to factions counter others, i also try to play around using phantom wall using as my protection even if she try to flank me, but is still hard because she can just wait for my wall to run out and im pretty much down 😂. But either way really great video some of the dedsec counters are actually really useful that didn't have no idea about it
I've played libertad dropped my ultimate and someone activated their golden gun and killed me instantly... Also if you got a full squad everyone trains their fire on that person they can't kill you all before they die... I've had that happen a lot too...
@@C0NTRACTxKILxER yeah i see, is very understandable situations like that can make a lot the difference at the end of the day it is a base team game. Also what do you mean about the golden gun I'm kinda confused 😂
thanks for your advice, i think people are only really bothered about the echelon op wall hacks and there isn't a lot u can do if the whole team uses it, don't get me wrong i do well on this game but i don't tolerate noob friendly bs like this, so unless they fix that and also add more incentives or something to grind for i dont care for this game. Ps i subbed u regardless ✌️
i feel that bro the pistol is insanely easy to use and op as hell. hoping next season we get more challenges for cool unlock making hero gear type system like bo3. right now only thing to grind for is camos so i get it bro. ranked with definitely help. appreciate the sub tho bro fr
Another great way to counter the Phantom's virginity shield(Ult) is to use a shotgun. Slide in and shoot as soon as you can. Their weapon has a very shot charge up time, and usually you can kill them just a little bit faster. And with the sawn-off coming to the game(and according to leaks being a secondary), you wouldn't even have to sacrifice your primary.
Yea but most don't use shotguns, also if somebody need to use a one shot gun that's just trash lol, a ult is a ult for a reason, I do feel Echelon Pistol should break Phantom ult in 5 shots, that's not too bad cause with the speed of this game you'll probably die before you even get 3 shots off at that ult anyway 🤷🏿♂️
It seems like you often forget that each faction has two abilities.... DeadSec's hack ability is the counter to Echelon and also Phantom's shield. DeadSec's ultimate can instantly shut down all ultimates. As you said, against a decent player, the spiderbot is a waste of an ability. The hack ability is the strongest way to play especially mid-way through a match and close to the end when everyone is getting close to getting ultimates. Echelon is very strong but almost glass-cannon in certain ways. The invis is very easy to see and like I said already, countered easily by DeadSec. The radar suit is also easily countered by DeadSec. Echelon's ultimate is really fun. The Cleaner's are just as potent as Echelon. If you're fast and strategic, that drone can be used to clear an objective point almost instantly and then you just mop up right after the explosion. The Purifier is also incredibly strong if used properly. I've wiped entire teams multiple times thus far. Libertad's healing doesn't heal fast enough and the insta-heal has too long of a "warm-up" so they're almost always the worst choice to play as. The ultimate is amazing for those last-chance zone caps. Also, their ultimate and the heal "bomb" can be destroyed.
Very good video, it's so much better to think about ways to counter things instead of complaining in Reddit or something. That being said, I recently uninstalled because I don't think I'm vibing too much with all those one hit kill ultimates and skills, and I can't stand how Echelon's wallhacks disrupt the flow of the game. But I hope Ubisoft will end up balancing it all eventually, it's a very young game.
Thank you very much and sad to hear you haven’t been enjoying as much as me. a good way to look at the ultimates is as scorestreaks. in every other multiplayer game you’ll be getting shot down by choppers and all the other bs. at least in XD it’s only a few times a game. but i definitely hear your frustrations. hopefully ranked will be a nice breath of fresh air i know im definitely looking forward to it
@@Qrayzyy I observed that ultimates are harder to obtain which is cool and fine. I think my biggest concern was wallhacks and easy one hit kills like the Cleaners tactical. Think in a few patches could be a great game.
Smoke grenades will either be a counter, or complementary to Echelon, and I don't know which one is worse. An Echelon running smoke would be a nightmare if they can still ping targets.
yea in other games it would make sense for the scan to go thru but in the current state i can’t see them possible making it even more broken. hoping smokes will hard counter in season 2 i would assume we’ll get them
u r a cool guy, didn't get the explanation how to counter the spiders. I can shot them, yea I can aim to where I expect the enemy, but id still be hipfiring
Totally missed Hijack. Take over shields, take over the healing pylons on the ground. Take over prox mines. Fairly certain you can convert drones mid flight too.
that’s crazy! i honestly haven’t done any testing with that kit if you couldn’t tell…that’s on me. his hacker definitely is the least picked ability but i think it could be really good in competitive
@@Qrayzyy IN addition to this you can hack multiple things if they're in the same line of sight. shields for example when stacked will allow you to hack all of them at once.
Yep you can take over shields, healing items, mines. As soon as you see that white line on the ground leading to what you can hack. I am sure it would work on a spider bot but it may be to fast if its coming after you.
barrel extender, chrome lined barrel are most important for every smg. then extended mag quick draw grip and lightweight stock. let me know how you do! the build is a beast
only had 1 tip and that was the fire bomb. but another i didn’t mention is using a shotgun. season 1 will bring a double barrell secondary so definitely recommend that in the future
Think you downplay phantoms a bit. they're really good against echelon, cleaners, and if youre a solo phantom on the team, unlikely the opposing team will focus on emp grenades. phantoms are excellent for the LMG class because you dont have mobility, so the shield gives you cover and that ultra is excellent for lmg too because it gives you a strong close range weapon to mix up your playstyle with. its also very good vs echelon as you said and its great to stop tick damage because of higher health. its easily the third best faction. def better than cleaner and dedsec. as time goes on dedsec will definitely be a bad faction as people get used to stopping spiders and get better at it
you make some great points and i definitely agree phantom is the third best faction. its passive itself is one of if not the strongest in the game behind cleaners. i could see in the future the health total being turned down a little for them
@@Qrayzyy hahahahahahhahaha.. I can admit I may have smashed my mouse a few times when I was already getting put in the dirt as it was. Lmao good times. I would love to see some more videos on XDefiant from you. Do you have discord I can connect with you for sure brother.

You are absolutely sleeping on Cleaners. Not only is their hurtbox the jankiest of the game but firebomb is way better than you are giving it credit. Staying at a distance isn't really an option if you play any objective mode, and the amount of times I've slid in or jumped from above, firebombed two or three and then killed the rest is disturbingly high. Especially if you play against only controllers trying to track someone sliding past you before they just blow you up is deceivingly difficult to stop. Edit: Also using firebomb on Libertad's ult can help mitigate it but if you don't play cleaners or close range I recommend the SVD, it can wipe out someone even on her ult if you are hitting headshots.
I’ve been using cleaners more now that i’m going for the dmrs gold so i definitely see you what you mean. definitely not the worst faction i was wrong about that fs
The game is so hard and I hardly ever get a positive K/D.. and watching your video I feel like your enemies are NPCs xD. I am so lost in this game and my aim is really really messed up. depressing..
I feel you man.. i mean only difference is my aim is decent, you gotta play with the ADS settings and change them from 1.00 to about .55-.65. With scoped weapons mine is all the way to .40 This game feels I unplayable to me though, with all the hopping around and strafing mid air… this is by far the sweatiest game I’ve ever played sweatier than COD sweatier than apex… sweatier than OVERWATCH. Not to mention the issues it has.
definitely a difficult game to pick up at first. try out a linear response curve and let me know what you think. made the game feel a lot smoother for me. honestly sensitivity is a tough one in the game there’s no one best setting it’s all preference. try new things and stick with what feels smooth and controllable. you got this!

I’ve been using cleaners more now that i’m going for the dmrs gold so i definitely see you what you mean. definitely not the worst faction i was wrong about that fs
Which character do u mean if u talk about „Janckie hurtbox“
There is no ax in the word, especially
Aim bot at the 15 second mark?
lol appreciate the compliment! honestly just something i practice
He’s hacking this entire video. Don’t let him try to deny it either it’s clear as day
GSK update when
coming soon! hopefully next week
Hey This video was great, I’m a video editor and I am wondering if I could edit 1 free video for you and if you like it we can discuss a price?
Thanks for the offer but i’m gonna stick to editing myself. I’ve been enjoying the journey of getting better every vid. thanks again though !
@@Qrayzyy ok I understand
The wallhack needs a strong nerf.
100%…or at least more counter options.
The best way to counter echelon is echelon or deadsec 😂
Back on my BS
i think once you kill a cleaner the burn damage should stop so you dont die after winning the gunfight
100%!!
Phantoms are easily one of the most annoying factions. If an entire team goes phatoms with the shield, there isn't really much you can do.
100%. thankfully ranked is getting fixed soon to be only 1 skill per team
I will stop using Dedsec when they nerf every other annoying ability in the game. Until then, I am pressing E in every situation possible, sorry
That damn spider drone annoying asf
Goggles are op. Nothing else is
shield getting annoying
Nice cheats lmfao not even trying to hide it 😂
Ultimate Gas Thank You❤️
How is he cheating?
If you can't aimt like that on controller it's time to play a different game, FPS games are just not for you 😂
The game is so hard and I hardly ever get a positive K/D.. and watching your video I feel like your enemies are NPCs xD. I am so lost in this game and my aim is really really messed up. depressing..
I feel you man.. i mean only difference is my aim is decent, you gotta play with the ADS settings and change them from 1.00 to about .55-.65. With scoped weapons mine is all the way to .40
This game feels I unplayable to me though, with all the hopping around and strafing mid air… this is by far the sweatiest game I’ve ever played sweatier than COD sweatier than apex… sweatier than OVERWATCH. Not to mention the issues it has.
definitely a difficult game to pick up at first. try out a linear response curve and let me know what you think. made the game feel a lot smoother for me. honestly sensitivity is a tough one in the game there’s no one best setting it’s all preference. try new things and stick with what feels smooth and controllable. you got this!
