Unlike Call of Duty where operators are nothing but cosmetics, XDefiant characters and factions play a major role in the gameplay. All characters are familiar faces from other Ubisoft game series like Splinter Cell and Far Cry, equipped with unique gear and abilities to utilize. However, not all these characters are available from the get-go in XDefiant and you’ll have to unlock them first. You didn’t expect the DedSec hackers to come fight for your cause without gaining their trust in XDefiant, right?
All Characters Unlock Challenges in XDefiant
XDefiant characters come with different unlock challenges. Not to call them the labours of Hercules, of course, but they might be time-consuming considering how often you get kills with a Firebomb or while wearing the Ghillie Suit.
| Characters | Challenges |
|---|---|
| Kersey (The Division) | Get 50 kills with Firebomb |
| Green (The Division) | Get 50 kills with Incinerator Drone |
| Beto (Far Cry) | Heal 5,000 health points to allies with BioVida Boost |
| Selete (Far Cry) | Heal 5,000 health points to allies with El Remedio |
| Samir (Splinter Cell) | Get 100 kills with Digital Ghillie Suit equipped |
| Rafa (Splinter Cell) | Get 50 Intel Suit Spot assists |
| Rhino (Ghost Recon) | Get 25 kills with Blitz Shield |
| Gorgon (Ghost Recon) | Block 10,000 damage points with Mag Barrier |
As you can see these challenges are easy to accomplish, and all you need to do is equip the right gear with the suitable character. Unlocking any of the characters shouldn’t take more than an hour of gameplay if you stick to the plan.
How To Unlock DedSec Faction in XDefiant
The only faction that doesn’t have separate character challenges is the DedSec. You can unlock the DedSec faction and characters by achieving 700,000 XP in XDefiant, which is an easy task by simply playing the game. Win matches and complete daily objectives to gain more XP.
XDefiant is currently available to play on PS5,
