XDefiant:Hijack

Overview

In XDefiant, Hijack is an activated ability for faction characters. Using the skill allows the user to control the deployed abilities of opponents and turn them against their masters.

DedSec created the Hijack skill to take control of enemy-deployed equipment such as the Mag Barrier. Using this skill near enemy equipment will flip its allegiance, and It will start working for you for 20 seconds plus the remaining deployed time the skill had.

Hijack skill does not affect the ultra skills of opponents. It only controls the activated skills of the enemy team. The user activating the Hijack skill cannot aim and fire. However, they can hipfire only.

If you fail to hijack enemy equipment, the cooldown time will be 8 seconds. On the other hand, a successful attempt will give you 20 seconds and the lifetime remaining time of the hacked enemy skill.

Additionally, the opponent will get an alert indicating that their deployed skill has been hijacked. Here is the list of devices/equipment you can use the Hijack skill to switch their allegiance:
