How to complete XDefiant Challenges: All objectives & rewards
UbisoftXDefiant gives you a bunch of challenges to complete. While some unlock new weapons and characters, others give you that much-needed XP. So, here are all the challenges available in XDefiant.
Much like Call of Duty, most of XDefiant’s content is locked behind Challenges. So, completing them makes it even more important to unlock the best weapons and devices, which are considered ‘meta.’
The best thing about completing these challenges is that you also complete the Pre-season battle pass, which unlocks many enticing rewards.
UbisoftWhat are Challenges in XDefiant?
In XDefiant, Challenges are nothing but objectives that you need to complete. They come in three types:
- Major Challenges
- Base Challenges
- Daily Challenges
Major Challenges are the game’s biggest objectives that unlock Factions and take longer than the other two. Base Challenges are relatively smaller – completing them unlocks different weapons, devices, and other characters from every Faction.
Daily Challenges, as the name suggests, change every 24 hours. They are fairly easy to complete and reward you with 5000, 7500, or 10000 XP, depending upon the challenges.
All Major Challenges in XDefiant
In Preseason, there’s only one Major Challenge to get 700,000 XP. Completing this challenge unlocks the DedSec Faction, the group of notorious hacktivists from the Watchdogs 2 universe.
