XDefiant: How To Unlock The GSK Faction

The highly anticipated Season 1 update for XDefiant is here, marking the end of the Preseason. This latest seasonal update sees the arrival of additional weapons like the L115 and the LVOA-C, the Season 1 Battle Pass, along with more maps and modes like Capture the Flag. While all these additions are exciting, the biggest content drop for XDefiant Season 1 has to be the debut of the GSK Faction.

The GSK Faction are XDefiant’s area of denial experts, equipped with exceptional abilities that work well in objective-based game modes. Boasting the Flash Shield as their Ultra, the Shockwire and ADS device as their Activated Abilities, and the Hard Hat Passive Trait, the GSK Faction is setting itself up to be one of the best Factions in the game. Unlike most Factions, however, they are not available right from the start. Here is how to unlock the GSK Faction in XDefiant!

How To Unlock The GSK Faction In XDefiant

The GSK Faction is the second unlockable Faction in XDefiant. Much like DedSec, players can unlock GSK via one of two methods.

Purchase With XCoins

The first and fastest method is to outright purchase the GSK Faction with XCoins. Players can choose between two bundles to gain access to GSK. These bundles are as follows:

• GSK Faction: Gain access to the GSK Faction by unlocking Operator Stark for 1,000 XCoins.
• GSK Extraction Force: Gain access to the GSK Faction, all three Operators, the GSK player card, M4A1 skins, and more for 2,500 XCoins.

Though serving as the fastest method to acquire GSK, this method will require players to spend real money to acquire XCoins. Getting 1,000 XCoins for the GSK Faction bundle will cost $9.99. Alternatively, to acquire the GSK Extraction Force bundle, players can purchase 2,100 XCoins for $19.99, and then 500 extra XCoins for $4.99.

Earn Via Major Challenge

The second, and arguably more exciting, method to get GSK is to earn them for free by completing their major challenge. To activate GSK’s major challenge, players need to head to the ‘Factions Tab’ in the main menu, select ‘GSK’, and then select ‘Earn Via Major Challenge’. Once done, players can then select ‘Activate Challenge’. After activating, players will need to earn a total of 700,000 XP to unlock Stark, thus gaining access to the GSK Faction in XDefiant.
