How to high five in XDefiant

XDefiant is a thrilling first-person competitive shooter that provides plenty of strategy and deadly shootouts. While you’re out there on the battlefield, your teammates will (hopefully) be giving it their all just like you. As such, there’s no better way to show your support than to give them a big high five for everything they’ve done.

Whether you’re after the “High-Fivist” trophy/achievement for giving 20 high fives, or you’re just looking to give your teammates some positive reinforcement, here’s how to give high fives in XDefiant.

How to high five in XDefiant

So, we’ve covered how giving a high five is a great way to show appreciation to a teammate for a job well done, but what if we told you that high fives in XDefiant aren’t actually, well, high fives? Strangely enough, you won’t be actually handing out high fives, but rather thumbs-up sthat are, for whatever reason, called “high fives.”

To give a high five, wait until the end of a match when all of your teammates are standing beside each other. Each teammate will have some type of achievement from the match under their names, so pick the person you think is deserving of an award and simply click on them.

When you click on your teammate, they’ll receive a thumbs-up symbol above their achievement from the match, and they’ll also receive a tiny bit of XP as a reward. Note that you can only give a high five (let’s be real: a thumbs-up) to one teammate per match, so always pick the one you think is most deserving!

The Playstation 5 system standing upright.

The latest PlayStation beta, announced Wednesday, will be introducing a bunch of in-progress features that better personalize your PlayStation 5 experience, including adaptive charging support for controllers — but only for the latest models.

Sony laid out the beta updates in a blog, but noted that adaptive charging, which will work on PS5-era controllers (although not the PlayStation Portal) and can adjust the power sent to them based on battery level, will only be available for the newest PS5 model, which is slimmer and has a larger internal SSD for more storage. Many newer phones have this feature so that the battery doesn't get overcharged and fried over time.
