All we know about Highwaymen in XDefiant Season 2

Highwaymen in XDefiant are reported to be the game's upcoming choice of faction for Season 2. As per leaks from TxLim_, they will bring quite a chaotic turn to the game. Their abilities, according to the leaker, are as follows:

• Grenade Launcher
• Turret
• Rev Metre
• Buzzsaw (Ultra)

Other than the Grenade Launcher and the Turret, players are unsure what to expect from these new abilities.

The Grenade Launcher is quite easy to use, and players will get a chance to pull it out on a 30-35-second cooldown. We believe there will be significant balancing implemented to ensure there's competitive integrity in the game. Otherwise, the chances of a Grenade Launcher being overpowered seem probable.

As for the Turret, we speculate that it is a defensive ability that can be deployed to hold down the fort. We are yet to understand its intricacies.

The other two abilities have no description, and until visual or descriptive feedback is provided, we cannot be sure of their use case in the game.

Furthermore, TxLim_ also uncovered files that indicate that this faction, like the previously released teams, will feature three new characters. They are:

• Chaco
• Ridley
• Ramos
