XDefiant, Ubisoft’s free-to-play arena shooter, sees factions from the publisher’s games fight to the death in a variety of game modes. The Division, Ghost Recon, Far Cry, and Splinter Cell are among the series represented at launch, with more additions promised in the future.
DedSec, the hacktivist group hailing fromWatch Dogs, is the last faction you may choose to play as. However, unlike the other characters, you need to complete certain gameplay requirements in order to access this class. If you’re dead-set on playing as the infamous hacker group, be prepared to grind out a lot of matches (or open your wallet).
How To Unlock DedSec
Upon starting the game, you cannavigate to the Factions tabto examine each class’s characters, skins, and abilities on the battlefield. Scrolling all the way to the right,you’ll find DedSec with a big lock placed on it. Clicking on the faction will present you with two ways to unlock the hackers: earning them througha major challenge, or purchasing instantly with XCoins.
Challenges are the way you unlock most items in XDefiant, be those weapons, devices, or characters. With that being said, the “major” in “major challenge” is doing a lot of heavy lifting, asgaining access to DedSec is undoubtedly the hardest thing to do in the game. To unlock DedSec,you’ll need to accrue 700,000 experience points.
How To Earn XP In XDefiant
When discussing XP in XDefiant, it’s important to note thatthe game actually has three different types of experience to collect. These are:
You need700,000 profile XP specificallyin order toplay as DedSec.Profile experience will come simply from playing the game, but you’re rewarded with more for playing the objective and being a good teammate. Additionally,certain in-game feats will trigger bonuses, like getting a Longshot kill or Killstreak.
You will be earninga few thousand experience for every match you complete, so get ready to play a lot of XDefiant.The process can be sped up slightly by completing daily challenges, which reward up to 10,000 XP upon completion.
Of course, you’re able to also pay Ubisoft to gain instant access to the hacker class.It costs 1,000 XCoins, and that lets you play as one of the characters, Sebastian. Additionally,for 2,500 XCoins, you can unlock all three playable charactersand get some cosmetic items.
