XDefiant's annoying hit-reg and netcode issues have been plaguing players since launch. Thankfully, Ubisoft has acknowledged the situation and is currently working on resolving the issues.

In a May 25 tweet, Mark Rubin, executive producer for XDefiant at Ubisoft San Francisco, said that the development team is aware of the reports of bullets not registering on enemies and is focused on improving the situation, but that "it will take time."

Rubin says there are numerous things affecting the netcode, so the developer needs to work on fixing “every single one of them.” As promised, players should see improvements over time.

In case you don't know, the discussion began when a clip went viral on X (formerly Twitter) of a player desperately trying to get his bullets to register on an enemy. While Rubin (and a few community members) attempted to blame the affected player's intermittent internet connection, several fans voiced concerns about the game's undeniably broken netcode.
