XDefiant Season 2 Update: New Air & Space Map, Stellar Strike Event, and Patch 2.3
XDefiant Season 2 is ramping up with a host of exciting updates, including the release of the Air & Space map, the Stellar Strike event, and the upcoming Patch 2.3. Here's what you need to know.
Air & Space Map: A Museum Battlezone
Get ready to explore the futuristic Air & Space museum! This new arena-style map offers a mix of long sightlines for sniper enthusiasts and close-quarters opportunities for those wielding SMGs and shotguns. The central lane is perfect for precision shots, while the left and right lanes are packed with exhibits, alien-themed rooms, and scaffolding for intense short-range combat. Inspired by The Division 2, the map’s design features overgrown plants and murals, adding a dynamic atmosphere to your battles. Keep an eye out for easter eggs hidden in posters scattered throughout the museum!
Stellar Strike Event
Launching October 17 and running for three days, the Stellar Strike event will let players unlock special space-themed skins and boosters through Ubisoft Connect Challenges. Make sure to check the store for the Space Program bundle to suit up in style.
Halloween Event
Later this month, get ready for XDefiant’s Halloween Event, starting October 23 through November 5. In this spooky event, the Team Deathmatch mode will shrink to 3v3 battles, featuring maps like Air & Space, Arena, Pueblito, Rockefeller, and Showtime. Earn exclusive Halloween-themed rewards, including Pumpkin and Frankenstein emojis, and grab haunting skins like Graveyard Shift from the in-game store.
Patch 2.3: Smoke and Gadgets
Coming October 30, Patch 2.3 will introduce new smoke gadgets, offering players more tactical options. These gadgets can be unlocked for free by completing in-game challenges, providing another layer of strategy to the fast-paced gameplay.
