XDefiant Season 2 leaked Faction: The Highwaymen
The Highwaymen from Far Cry: New Dawn is reportedly set to join XDefiant in Season 2, according to the game’s most prominent leaker.
A Grenade Launcher, a Turret, and a Buzzsaw are among their leaked arsenal.
Once again, it’s expected the new characters will be unlockable directly in-game, much like Season 1’s Faction from Rainbow Six: Siege. You’ll just need a set amount of XP, and you’ll be able to get your hands on the new additions and their abilities.
More Mastery camos are on the way
The very same XDefiant leaker has also suggested three more weapon Master camos are on the way for XDefiant’s Season 2 update. Similar to how Season 1 introduced three new tiers, Season 2 looks set to do the same. The leaked tiers are as follows:
- Liquid revealed obsidian
- Liquid static obsidian
- Liquid revealed animated obsidian
