— 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.
