XDefiant

XDefiant's Y1S1.2 patch fixes a Fire/Ability rapid-tap bug that was delaying reloads, weapon swaps, and device deploys. Speed hackers now get locked in place. Echelon's Intel Suit got toned down: pulse frequency drops from every 3s to every 4s, and enemy highlight duration cuts from 2.7s to 1s.

• Buff: M4A1 short-range damage up from 17 to 18.
• Buff: MDR short-range damage up from 17 to 19, ADS speed improved from 300ms to 250ms.
• Buff: MP5A2 medium-range damage up from 13 to 14, headshot multiplier up to 1.4x, effective ranges extended.
• Nerf: M44, TAC-50, and L115 sprint-out times increased; hip-fire spread raised on all three snipers.
• Fixed: DedSec Spiderbots now target fresh faces again; players can shoot them off their own face once more.
• Fixed: Matchmaking parameters improved for players above 150ms ping, cutting lobby wait times.
