XDefiant:Hot Shot
Overview
Hot Shot is an Arena map-type game mode that was released at the launch of XDefiant. This is one of the five game modes that were released with the game.
The win condition in Hot Shot is straightforward: reach 125 points by killing enemy players and picking bounties or have the highest points than the opponent team when time runs out.
Each bounty is worth one score point if collected from an opponent. Bounties also drop from teammates but collecting it will give no point to your team. It however will deny the enemy team an opportunity to collect that bounty and get a score from you.
The first player who collects three bounties gains the "Hot Shot" status. This grants increased reload and movement speed, colors them yellow and makes them worth three bounty points if the opposing team eliminates them.
Additionally, the Hot Shot player gets their location revealed to the enemy team. A crown icon becomes available on the map, and this turns into real-time tracking whenever the enemy team or teammate gets too close to the Hot Shot player.
If you kill a Hot Shot player, three bounty coins will be dropped regardless of how many the player actually carried.
