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!

3 new PlayStation Plus games to play this weekend (April 4-6)

There's never an official theme for PlayStation Plus Essential games each month, but April's lineup is clearly catering to gamers' nostalgia. We've got a tight, focused single-player FPS game, a thrilling mystery RPG, and a rip-roaring multiplayer game all up for the taking. None of these games were necessarily smash hits upon release, but not for lack of quality. They each found a passionate fanbase that has been singing their praises for months (or years), and with a small break between big upcoming PS5 games, now is the perfect time to give these games a second chance. We're not playing an April Fool's prank on you here; these are the best PlayStation Plus games to play over the weekend.

Download and play Robocop: Rogue City. You have 20 seconds to comply. Just kidding, but this is a rare movie tie-in game that does the source material justice. You play as the iconic Robocop between the second and third films, enforcing justice on the streets of Old Detroid. You are free to explore various open zones to do basic police work, solve crimes, and get into shootouts. The game has light RPG and even immersive sim elements to it, but the style and tone of the game are where it really shines. As a shorter experience with an expansion on the way, it is a perfect game to dive into over the weekend.

And if those ultra-challenging bosses are your main draw, you may be curious how many you'll come across during your journey through the game's dark and twisted world. The goal is to be prepared, after all, so we can't blame you for wanting to know.

Well, look no further. Here's how many bosses are in The First Berserker: Khazan and where you'll find them all.

I played Doom: The Dark Ages. It’s going to melt your face off
The Doom Slayer appears in Doom: The Dark Ages.

Game directors Marty Stratton and Hugo Martin are sitting across from me in Hell. Well, it’s technically a room decorated in the style of Doom: The Dark Ages, Id Software’s highly anticipated first-person shooter launching on May 15, but it might as well be Hell. An eerie red glow is cast over the space, plumes of smoke spew from what looks like chasms leading to dark, demon-filled depths, and a medieval version of the iconic Doomslayer helmet rests on a nearby column.

But the most interesting bit of decor in this demonic space is a massive, jagged-edged shield, which sits between the three of us as we chat after my lengthy hands-on session with Doom: The Dark Ages. That shield represents id’s desire to shake up the Doom franchise -- not just in its gameplay, which is very different from the last two Doom titles, but in its storytelling as well.
