XDefiant trophies, achievements, and challenges guide

If you’ve been playing games over the years, you have probably grown accustomed to unlocking different achievements. They are somewhat of an expectation nowadays, with different challenges for players to brag about. Similarly, XDefiant will have its own set of achievements and trophies for you to conquer. The achievement list is fairly modest on release, but we’re hoping it’s going to be expanded in the future.

✓ All Trophies and achievements so far

• MVP
• Buzzkill
• All Grown Up
• Weapon Master
• Streaker
• Team Player
• Exterminator
• Winner Win
• Grand Tour
• Damage Dealer
• Party Player
• Defense Player
• High-Fivist

List of trophies and achievements

At the time of writing, there are 13 achievements that you can get in XDefiant. In trophy terms, they range from bronze to gold. This leaves platinum achievements oddly absent, making us think that this isn’t everything we’re going to see in the game.

For example, we’d love to see achievements related to specific XDefiant Factions and their abilities. Similarly, each of the game modes could have specific achievements tied to them. Before any of that is added, we’ll have to contend with the ones that are currently available:

Achievement/Trophy	Requirement
MVP	Finish 3 Matches as MVP
Buzzkill	Cancel 5 enemy Ultras
All Grown Up	Reach Player Level 50
Weapon Master	Level up a Weapon to Level 50
Streaker	Achieve a Killstreak of 5 or higher
Team Player	Get 50 Assists
Exterminator	Get 50 Kills
Winner	Win 10 Matches
Grand Tour	Complete a Match in 5 different Game Modes
Damage Dealer	Deal 10.000 damage
Party Player	Complete a Match in a Party
Defense Player	Heal or Block 5.000 damage
High-Fivist	Send or receive 20 High-Fives

How to unlock

You will unlock most of the achievements by simply playing the game. For example, Exterminator, Team Player, Damage Dealer, All Grown Up and other similar achievements will accrue over time the more you play. However, there are a few that warrant a more detailed look.

Buzzkill

While it’s entirely possible to get this achievement through simply playing the game, it’s easier to do if you pay attention to the objective. Ultras in XDefiant function like ultimates in other games. So when you see an enemy player channelling theirs, focus them down and kill them. This will for all intents and purposes cancel their Ultra. Do it five times, and you’ll get the trophy.

Streaker

Getting a kill streak can be easier said than done. Getting two kills in repetition will happen often, but when you get to three – it’s time to pay attention. If you’re not confident in your aim, step back, play more defensively and be opportunistic. Wait for a chance to score the fourth kill in a row, and do the same for the fifth. Also, don’t get frustrated if it doesn’t work the first time. Keep playing and new opportunities to get a 5-man killstreak will present themselves.

Defense Player

This is the only trophy that we would rank as faction-oriented. It will be difficult to get if you, for example, keep playing as Echelon. Consider picking Libertad who are the most proficient faction for healing. Or if blocking damage and defence is more your style, pick Phantoms.

Party Player

It may be self-explanatory, but it bears repeating. To get this one, you’ll need to play and complete a full match in a premade party. If you’re having trouble finding others to play with, there will likely be many players who are looking to get the trophy when the game launches. Simply party up with a few that you meet while playing and you will all get this achievement together.
