After six weeks of preseason play, Ubisoft’s free-to-play shooter XDefiant Season One is officially on, bringing with it tons of new content including a faction, three maps, three weapons, two game modes, and ranked play.

The new faction is Rainbow Six’s GSK, which has a Shock Wire ability that gives you a high-voltage barrier around objectives and outposts, an Active Defense System to shoot down enemy explosives, and a Flash Shield Ultra ability that lets enemies and disperse operations. As a mobile cover. GSK’s passive feature is Hardhat, which reduces the lethality of enemy headshots.

Capture the Flag mode is available as of today, with an additional mode called Bomb being added mid-season. Bomb task teams take turns defending or disarming a, well, bomb. New weapons are free for all players and include the LVOA-C assault rifle, the L115 sniper rifle, and the Seed of Shotgun, a secondary weapon.

And finally, ranked play has seen its training wheels come off the preseason, for those of you sweating it out. I’m enjoying my time with XDefiant, logging a few dozen hours already, and season one looks like a great addition. Check out our full review of the XDefiant here.
