XDefiant‘s Y1S1.3 patch has arrived on July 31 and comes packed full of adjustments and updates for the title. Ubisoft’s main focus is on weapon balancing, with the team taking a pass at the weak shotgun archetype, as well as a much-needed MP7 nerf.

All XDefiant shotguns have been tuned, with a significant range boost across the board for the M870, AA-12, Double Barrel and its Sawed-Off variant. Depending on the weapon, shotguns should now be 30 to 40 percent more effective at range, while their mobility and sprint-to-shoot times have also been shortened.
