This seasons big ticket item is its new GS Kommando faction, inspired by the Rainbow Six franchise.
Their Ultra ability gives them a G52 Tactical Shield, which defends them and allows them to blind enemies.
Season 1 also adds two new game modes: Capture the Flag and Bomb.
Bomb is only launching later in the season, but Capture the Flag is available now.
That way, performance is still a factor in competitive rankings.
XDefiant Season 1 is now available on all platforms.
