Top 10 Best Guns to Use with Cleaners! | (How Burn Damage Works in XDefiant)

The passive ability for the Cleaners faction in XDefiant allows you to deal a bonus burn damage to enemies that you shoot and today, I wanted to break down exactly how this bonus damage works and which guns are best to use to take full advantage of this ability. What are your thoughts on this Burn Damage effect?

Kinda funny to see the Cleaners are tuned to a more "Hit and Run, Dirty fighting" playstyle than the Libertad's actual guerilla fighters.

Please do this for every faction. Didn’t know I needed this info

It’s not so much the damage. Even if you survive the gun fight. Those ticks of damage delay your health regen. Which already feels like it takes a year and a day in this game.

This is a video I was waiting for. GREAT job man. Thanks for doing this in depth analysis.

Very useful info as always! I estimated 10% range reduction myself so I'm glad to see you verify that. I had a feeling that the burn damage would just extend and not stack with every shot with full auto, but it pausing after the first tick until you stop dealing damage is very interesting

This is such high quality content. Thanks Ace!

[Severe-Serenity]

Thanks so much for this, and I look forward to more XDefiant coverage! The info you provide and your breakdowns are seriously life changing. There's no way I'd have the time to figure out all the intricacies on my own these days, especially with live service games

Thank you for putting your time and effort into these videos, like you always do. Very much appreciated having someone do the math for you. Thank you! <3

I been using the SVD the past few days on the Cleaner and I gotta say, I STRONGLY recommend more people try it. Probably the most fun setup I used so far. Could also one tap headshot with heavy barrel if you dont want to use the cleaner but still want to one tap with it.

Thanks for the vid, loving the xdefiant content

[larryerdman]

Thank you for your time making videos lve been with you at the start of Cod. Love your content

[Rally-Inc]

I like using the SVD the most when combined with the cleaners faction. The added 2 shot kill consistency is nice, but I freaking love that it turns the headshots into 1 shot kills (except phantom players) with the base 98 damage and one tick of burn damage. As always, thanks for the awesome video Ace!

[The_Geni]

FYI with the M44 if you use the heavy barrel it will kill them in 1 shot instantly you don't need anything other than the first dmg tic and that happens instantly

[HugeBigness]

This is a crazy good video, thank you!

[mckinleyostvig]

I just assumed it was a percentage so thanks for doing the math for me. Loving XDefiant and your coverage of it!

[HcKingPin]

I love this ability and was praying that this breakdown would be high on your priority list! Absolutely loving the xDefiant content! Keep up the great work Ace!

[spudmaster]

Not mentioned in the video, but the SVD does 98 damage to the head in it's first damage range, so a headshot against anything but Phantoms will be a one shot kill while playing as the Cleaners

[Adderflail]

If you go to the practice zone, the advanced stats take the cleaners range reduction into account in the advanced stats page

This explains why I'm dying around corners. It totally makes since now.
This is a great video!
