XDefiant takes a lot of things from Call of Duty and puts its own spin on them, including the game modes. There is also a CoD mode coming to the game, but fans think the XDefiant version might not turn out as well.

XDefiant executive producer Mark Rubin wrote in response to fans on June 5 that Call of Duty's Search and Destroy mode would be coming to the game. While many fans are excited about the upcoming mode, others are concerned that it could be "terrible" and "unbalanced" due to the in-game features.

Search and Destroy is a popular round-based bomb mode in Call of Duty, but unlike XDefiant, CoD doesn’t put too much emphasis on skills. In XDefiant, there are multiple factions, each with unique skills, and some are much more powerful than others.

"They need to disable abilities for like the first minute of the game or something in SnD, otherwise you'd end up with a spin on your face or the whole team would pre-target you because of an intel suit," one player wrote on Reddit. And that's without even mentioning powerful Ultras like Sonar Goggles or passive abilities like increased health for Phantoms and Incendiary Rounds for Cleaners.
