XDefiant
Guides
These characters are great for defensive roles, and therefore GSK are better for specific modes and team compositions.
Having various character factions in XDefiant allows players to emphasize their favorite style and create the most effective teams — for all the game modes. GSK is a faction based on the game Rainbow Six Siege and specifically on GSG 9, a German police unit that is focused on counter-terrorism and special operations.
In this guide, we discuss how to play GSK in XDefiant: the best game plan for this faction, preferable modes, the most effective weapons, and some team composition ideas.
GSK in XDefiant: Gameplan
These aspects make GSK XDefiant characters perfect for a defensive playstyle.
Thanks to the abilities and decreased headshot damage, the GSK faction characters are great for camping in a limited area, destroying waves of attacking enemies. This should be the main focus with XDefiant GSK.
Offensive style for GSK
XDefiant is a lot about rotations on the maps, and it is rather impossible to play only defensively. GSK can be helpful during attacks too.
This ability is great when you have teammates nearby. A GSK character comes first and reveals the opponents’ position. More mobile factions rush forward and stop the opponents from surrounding GSK and shooting their open sides.
Low mobility and a somewhat limited view are downsides of this XDefiant faction during the offensive missions.
The best XDefiant game modes for GSK
Zone Control,Domination, andOccupyare perfect for GSK in XDefiant. In both these game modes, you need defensive characters who can make a capture zone a relatively safe home base. It’s the primary specialization of GSK!
There are three capture zones in Domination, so a GSK character still has to move around them. The capture zone in Occupy changes its location regularly.
Again, GSK players should know how to rotate on the map safely to unleash the protective abilities in new areas. XDefiant matches in the game modeZone Controldon’t include the necessity for team rotation. Take your GSK soldiers to these battles!

These three game modes are less suitable for the GSK faction — especially Escort.
Campling is possible in Team Domination. Find a good place, secure it with Shockwire, and actively look around, spotting the opponents. Most players in this mode run a lot looking for victims. Make them your prey instead.
GSK may be helpful in Capture the Flag. XDefiant players should combine offense and defense here, so someone obviously has to keep the opponents away from the team’s flag. Without the attacking forces, this will not be effective, though. Good team composition is essential for playing GSK in XDefiant.

How to play against GSK?
TheDedSecfaction from Watch Dogs 2 is the best against GSK in XDefiant. Their Ultra ability Lockout can deactivate ADS. The spiderbot ability will help to ruin protective measures.
Cleanersfrom The Division are great for destroying everything on the opponent’s bases. It’s difficult for GSK to stand against them.
Being cautious in your offense should help you handle GSK with other factions. Check which protective ability they use and act accordingly: destroy Shockwire or use other approaches; don’t rely on your grenades if there is ADS deployed.
