xbox Series X – XDefiant to Include Reaction Emote Feature for Players Killed

Have you ever wanted to let your teammates or enemy known what you felt when you got killed in an online first-person shooter? It looks like Ubisoft’s upcoming free-to-play shooter XDefiant will allow just that.

Reddit user MrNomNom9 has leaked a bunch of XDefiant details and even screenshots straight from the closed test! Yes, the same test where Ubisoft doesn’t even want your neighbors peeking through your windows! One of the details shared is how the game has a “reaction” feature on being killed; players can react to their killer’s actions with “Wow,” “Anger,” “Shocked,” “Happy” and “Sad” emotes. As for the killer, they can “pop gang signs, anime poses, and dance moves.” The leaker states they saw an Echelon Agent dab after quickscoping, which should please those who do that after every kill.

Here are some of the screenshots shared based from the closed test, which include a look at the gun customization screen!
