XDefiant’s rumoured Far Cry New Dawn crossover leaves fans fearing the worst

As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and dread as I hear about the latest crossover in XDefiant – Far Cry New Dawn. On one hand, the prospect of diving into yet another Ubisoft universe is enticing; on the other, the thought of dealing with grenade launchers and turrets brings back painful memories of my early gaming years.


In the gaming world, I’ve dived headfirst into XDefiant, a game that’s committed to paying tribute to numerous iconic Ubisoft series. It’s quite fascinating how they’ve modeled the in-game characters after the legendary teams under the Ubi umbrella.

From the beginning, the game featured collaborations with Watch Dogs, Splinter Cell, Far Cry 6, The Division, and Ghost Recon. However, Season One introduced an alliance with Rainbow Six Siege that led to the creation of some debatable characters.

As we approach Season 2, the upcoming Faction collaboration for XDefiant has been hinted to be based on Far Cry New Dawn, bringing along additional concerning powers.

Upon its release, the Rainbow Six faction faced severe criticism due to the thickly padded helmet that reduced all sniper rifles to require a two-hit kill. However, these quickscoping montages were among the most enjoyable experiences players had enjoyed in an arcade shooter for quite some time.

Based on recent reports, it appears that Far Cry New Dawn’s collaboration may include a similarly striking collection of weapons. This includes potential access to Grenade Launchers and Turret systems for the faction.

The group of outlaws known as the Highwaymen, hailing from Far Cry New Dawn, is set to appear in XDefiant during Season 2. Their skillset encompasses:

As a gamer, I can’t stand the shrill sound of a grenade launcher. When I voiced my displeasure about this to my gaming buddy X, I wasn’t alone. Many players shared similar sentiments: “A grenade launcher? I can hardly wait to encounter that one player who relentlessly spams it.” These complaints were a common theme in various online forums.

“As a passionate gamer, I’m voicing my concern about the excessive inclusion of grenade launchers and shields in games,” said another enthusiast, echoing similar sentiments. Meanwhile, others critiqued Ubisoft for overlooked elements in their flagship series.

One fan expressed their frustration this way: “Alright, I’ve accepted that they’re intentionally annoying me. Now, could you tell me where I can find the character from ASSASSIN’s Creed? It’s disheartening because we’ve received a second riot shield and now a grenade launcher, along with a turret… a sigh escapes me.”

As a gaming enthusiast, I’ve got some exciting insider news! It seems there are rumors swirling about future crossovers, and Assassin’s Creed might just be one of them. However, it looks like our guild is more inclined towards aligning with XDefiant, perhaps in closer proximity to the launch of their Shadows title, which promises an immersive Japanese setting. Can’t wait to see how these stories unfold!

Characters from Far Cry New Dawn are particularly known for their vibrant personalities and exceptional skill with crossbows. It might have been more fitting for the grenade launcher to function like an explosive bolt arrow, aligning better with the game’s lore and enhancing the overall shooter experience.
