Understanding Cleaners faction powers in XDefiant

XDefiant is a fast-paced game that requires strong collaboration, smart gunplay, and ability usage. Since it is a new title, players must experiment with different strategies and faction combinations to win.

Gamers will be able to test out numerous tactics thanks to the unique collection of skills that each character possesses. Still, they will require the right understanding of their abilities to apply those successfully.

The Cleaners are a group from The Division world that appears in XDefiant and is known as Pyro Technicians in the game. According to The Division's lore, they are one of the primary enemy factions. They are fierce in nature since they play with fire and heavily rely on equipment that can burn enemies down.

Abilities:

Activated Ability:

• Incinerator Drone: A napalm-delivering drone burns everything to ashes in its path.
• Firebomb: Detonates a Molotov cocktail, which will cause explosive damage and ignite the area.

Ultra:

• The Purifier: A flamethrower guarantees that adversaries are completely sterilized.

Passive Trait:

• Incendiary Rounds: Incendiary ammunition deals more burn damage but reduces weapon range.

Based on the abilities listed above, we can conclude that this class can aggressively drive foes and hold a region with the assistance of their flaming talents, such as Firebomb and Incinerator Drone. Players should mainly employ this character to aggressively assault foes since its incendiary ammunition deals significant damage at close range but diminishes with distance.

The class's ultra ability unleashes havoc by equipping a flamethrower that can utterly incinerate adversaries in a moment.
