XDefiant Update Alters Weapon Progression, Introduces Netcode Fixes

Ubisoft's latest patch speeds up weapon leveling but doubles mastery requirements, sparking mixed reactions from players.

Primary and secondary weapons now require less XP to level up, with changes applied retroactively.
Weapon Mastery levels for Bronze, Silver, and Gold skins have doubled, requiring more dedication from players.
Netcode improvements aim to reduce the lag and improve health response during gameplay.
The update also fixes abnormal recoil issues with the MDR Firestorm skin and addresses other minor bugs.
Developers hint at future progression systems, including a Prestige system, to keep players engaged.
