GSK or GSK? ▉

From Today’s XDefiant Patch Notes:

Factions

• After coming to an agreement with pharmaceutical company GSK, the Team Rainbow faction will hereafter be known as GS-Kommando. Feel free to continue calling them Grenzschutzkommando as a handy time saver.

I would love to know who was confusing a fictional German special forces group based on the Kommando Spezialkräfte (KSK) with the London based pharmaceutical company. I’m not sure these are two worlds that cross often enough that this was an actual problem.

• Fixed an issue where DedSec’s Spiderbots were ignoring victims previously targeted by the deploying player. Now they’ll spiderhug faces new and old with equal enthusiasm.

• Players can once again shoot DedSec Spiderbots off their own faces. Not sure why; everybody loves Spiderbots.

• Tuned the functionality of Echelon’s Intel Suit. Now it pulses every four seconds instead of every three. Enemies remain highlighted for 1 second instead of 2.7 seconds, so everybody pay attention.

• Some abilities such as Firebomb, the Digital Ghillie Suit, and BioVida Boost weren’t always activating or occasionally stopped working. That’s fixed.

Whoever writes these patch notes definitely has fun with them where they can. This is one of the less sarcastic sets I’ve seen.

Anyway, if you haven’t checked out XDefiant yet you absolutely should. It’s free and only has Skill Based Match Making in the appropriate places: the intro playlist and Ranked. Oh yeah, and cheaters actually get banned too.
