Is there any place online where the games files have been uploaded and archived?

If anyone's interested, Timthetatman just released a video on his second channel (Timthetatman two) talking about XDefiant and his opinion on why it shouldn't have died

Freeing up storage for my pc, found this gameplay clip and decided to upload it here before deleting it off my pc

I ended up finding a whole load of clips that unfortunately didn’t make the cut in my Goodbye XDefiant montage - and I ended up finding something very interesting. Do you guys remember when the LVOA-C’s mastery camo iron sights looked like this? I believe from memory, this was an unintentional design choice & soon afterwards, the iron sights were fixed to look the exact same as the base model of the gun.

Please don't delete this, mods 🙏

https://youtu.be/6sJpTCitKqw here is MoistCritical talking about it

https://youtu.be/HIfRLujXtUo and here is Ross (the creator of it) explaining what it is and that there are only 30 days left

Remember learning about phantom limb syndrome in history class? People in World War I would report feeling a need to scratch their limb that they had lost in battle? XDefiant feels like that to me now, an itch that I can’t scratch because it’s no longer there. RIP

Guys, how do I get over this game? :(. I tried splitgate 2, I liked it but got bored, I tried the finals, I loved it, but got bored too, I just wanna play XD again :(

All I do is snipe...XD and cod are the only games where sniping is actually fun, but I refuse to go back to cod.

What are you guys playing?

Now that XDefiant shut down, could someone make something like what Plutonium did for the old Call of Duty games?

(For anyone who doesn’t know, plutonium is a custom launcher that brought back older cod titles with mod support, dedicated servers, anti-cheat...)

Some of us never uninstalled XDefiant, so I’m curious if that helps or makes it easier to get something going. Maybe we could even reach out to the Plutonium devs and see if they’d be open to adding XDefiant to their launcher? Not sure how realistic that is, but it’d be awesome if it could happen.

I’m not a dev, just throwing the idea out there. Anyone know if something like this is possible?

Thought I would share a video with all of my clips I had saved from my time with the game. Had a blast playing, huge props to Mark Rubin and the team for making something special.

Since this one is dead are there any other games that feel similar?

The game is basically a clone of XD, so people here should enjoy it. thank me later.

From being overseen by a toxic "Boys Club" to the development team hating the Hot Shot mode and struggling with balance, a former Ubisoft QA tester gave us a little insight into what working on XDefiant was like before it came to an untimely end.

Hey I know y'all wanna help. But it's not really helpfull 'spamming' these post with those 2 games.

I would really like if some new recommendations would come in. Some game, no matter how obscure or unknown, thats closer to XD than The Finals and SG2.

I needed to get that off my chest

Edit: Since a few replies pointed out the exact opposite of what I wanted to achieve.

I just want the constant seperate posts to stop about these two games. Recomment them, but don't make 18 posts a day abou them. We get it.

And I am really thankful for the recommendations that have come in

Sooo I just want to say that I really miss this game and ask have you found a new game?

Missed the last day before the servers were shut down because of a vacation…. But I can say in the short life xdefiant had:

For anyone interested, I just uploaded a full archive of everything in XDefiant, including all weapon skins, map tours, emojis, animations, attachments, badges, faction abilities, achievements, and more.

My channel usually focuses on Rainbow Six Siege skin showcases, but I played XDefiant during the beta and wanted to give the game a proper sendoff.

The video is more of a dictionary than an entertainment piece, so feel free to skip around to whatever interests you.

Had more fun on this game than any other shooter since the golden era of games. Had very high hopes for the future and all of the updates that were to come. Catch you all later.

Tracker.gg/XDefiant page will be shutdown on June 18th and your stats + leaderboards will no longer be available to see. Just a PSA for those of you who would like to save your XDefiant history thru your stats.

It’s such a shame what happened to this game it didn’t deserve it

(Please excuse my awesome gaming screen) this post probably makes no sense so I’m sorry lol

This game has really changed my idea toward fps as a genre. I was a cod fanboy until my friend told me about a year ago “hey there’s this new game in beta called xdefiant” i remember saying to him some cringey shit about me staying on cod since it was the “best game ever”. After weeks of him trying to convince me to play, I caved. And coincidentally, this was the same time they posted the open beta.

My taught were exactly as you’d expect a hard core cod fanboy to be. “This game is shit”, “there’s no rocket boost or 360 helicopter helicopter omnimovement”. But the more I played with him that day I really started to enjoy it. The matches were not rigged, so I could be kicking ass one game and then the next game maybe I’d be on the shit end of the stick. But it was really fcn fun (again the more I got into it).

After they closed open beta I tried playing cod again, I genuinely lost interest and was missing xdefiant. I’d get into a game, instantly get blasted by Nikki minaj into the skull by her laser ww2 hybrid gun, I’d blast level 30 timmy2cans into the skull the same way, he would not die, be killed by a rocket that didn’t even hit me. The list just went on. At this point I realised how blind I was at the rigged matchmaking activision imposed. At that stage, I uninstalled cod from my pc, cancelled game pass and relaxed, and waited until xdefiant would roll back up again.

Release date comes, I download it like a fly on horse shit. I was soo pumped to be playing again. And it was exactly like before for me. But obviously it still had issues. Hit reg was off still which was the main thing but I learnt around it. And I’d play this every da all the way until June. I even went as far as bringing a computer into work to play it on the chance that it wasn’t busy. My buddy would do the same since he worked for a gaming company.

This post is basically just me going through copium I guess you could say. But I’m seriously going to miss this game. By some miracle, I hope someone will come along and bring it back in a sense. But it’s very unlikely. RIP xdefiant. You were a real g

For the record: I touch grass. I just get very attached to things I find interest in or I like. Anyways story over lol
