Since XDefiant launched on May 21, players have been complaining about various issues with the game. One of the most significant issues is that leveling up weapons is annoyingly slow. Fortunately, Ubisoft is releasing an update this weekend that should (temporarily) fix the issue.
XDefiant's new FASTEST WAY to level up weapons is actually insane… (Extensive XP Guide)
But before you get excited, it’s nothing more than a Double XP weekend. It starts today at 12pm CT and runs until the same time on Tuesday. With that in mind, if you were planning on grinding XDefiant this weekend, you’ll be able to level up your weapons in the blink of an eye.
Or at least we hope it will be soon. A Ubisoft developer explained on May 22 that leveling up a weapon by one requires 3,500 XP. One kill, on the other hand, only grants 100 experience.
So, before the XP boost, you had to kill 35 enemies with one weapon to level up. By the weekend, it'll be 17 and a half kills. That's not a lot, you can easily reach that number in a single game. We do wish it was a permanent change, not just a weekend boost.
