— In-game Description
The Phantoms are a faction available in XDefiant.
Background[]
The Phantoms are a group which are secretly striking against Ghost Recon before disappearing 20 years into the future. Born in darkness, the Phantoms challenge US imperialism and answer to no one. A deadly group of ex-Ghosts, they are equally armed and seek to dismantle world order. Their first operation against the Ghosts was to steal ATHENA Corp. information from Xinyi, Taiwan.
Gameplay[]
Phantoms are hard to kill and specialize in battlefield control, using a variety of deployed and personal shields to hold down points or anchor a forward rush. In comparison to other factions, the Phantoms have a higher health pool at 115 health, but slower time until regeneration at 5 seconds compared to 4, and a 5% reduction in movement speed. The announcer for the Phantoms is Virgil.
