Best XDefiant loadouts
Here are the best loadouts in XDefiant, including the strongest secondaries and devices:
M16A4 loadout
Attachments
Muzzle: Compensator Optic: Reflex Sight Stock: Padded Stock Front Rail: Tactical Grip Barrel: Rapid Fire
Device & Secondary
Device: Frag Grenade Secondary: 93R
An underrated gun in XDefiant, the M16A4 is a machine at mid to long-range thanks to its powerful burst fire that can insta-kill opponents if you land a clean headshot. The loadout above focuses on enhancing the AR’s stability to minimize kickback on every trigger pull. On top of that, the Rapid Fire Barrel is an essential part of this setup, as it increases your fire rate by 5%. If you don’t kill a foe with the first burst, your second round of bullets will be out in the blink of an eye to finish the job.
Remember, the burst fire of the M16A4 won’t be for everyone as it’s incredibly tough to master. However, if you put in the hours of practice, you’ll become a top-tier AR that can hard-carry matches.
ACR 6.8 loadout
Attachments
Barrel: Stabilizing Optic: Reflex Front Rail: Small Vert Stock: Lightweight Rear Grip: Grip Tape
Device & Secondary
Device: Frag Grenade Secondary: M9
The ACR 6.8 is the king of consistency in XDefiant, with incredible base damage values that make wiping out opponents in any mode a breeze. Its most significant strength is the weapon’s versatility, with solid damage from a distance and even up close if necessary. We’ve tuned the loadout above, building it for aggressive competitors who want to hunt down enemies. Mobility has been maximized with this setup, meaning you have the tools to use movement to force advantageous gunfights and take on duels.
If you run out of ammo and end up in a tight spot, the M9 secondary will finish any pesky opponents in your way. There’s also the classic frag grenade for clearing objectives and forcing enemies out of cover.
AK-47 loadout
Attachments
Barrel: Lightweight Front Rail: Pistol Optic: Reflex Magazine: Fast Mag Stock: Folded
Device & Secondary
Device: Frag Grenade Secondary: M9
A true heavy-hitter, the AK-47 is a solid choice in any FPS game and that’s certainly no different in XDefiant. Due to the fast-paced gameplay, we’ve created an AK build that thrives when used on the front foot rather than holding down a power position.
The Lightweight Barrel boosts movement speed and decreases your ADS time by 15%, giving you a snappier aim that can lock onto targets. Don’t forget the Fast Mag, which is another vital addition to the loadout, offering reload times that are 40% faster. Less downtime recuperating your ammo means less chance of you being caught off-guard. A slower rate of fire does mean the AK-47 can be challenging to pilot, but in the hands of a sharpshooter, this gun is an absolute powerhouse.
MP7 loadout
Attachments
Muzzle: Barrel Extender Stock: Precision Stock Magazine: Quick Mag Rear Grip: Quick Draw Grip Front Rail: Superlight Grip
Device & Secondary
Device: Flash Grenade Secondary: M9
Now we’ve tackled the ARs, it’s time to move on to a close-quarter specialist in the form of the MP7. This pint-sized weapon is equipped with a lethal rate of fire, unmatched handling, and plenty of damage if you can hit your shots. Kitted out with the ultimate run-and-gun attachments, our loadout is built for flanking and challenging opponents head-on.
A top-tier choice on Domination, Zone Control, and Occupy, you can take over lobbies with the MP7 if you can navigate the maps at high speed. Every attachment has been hand-picked from the Quick Mag to the Superlight Grip so you can glide around the battlefield and farm kills.
MP5A2 loadout
Attachments
Barrel: Chrome Lined Magazine: Fast Mag Rear Grip: Quick Draw Stock: Lightweight Front Rail: Small Vert
Device & Secondary
Device: Flash Grenade Secondary: M9
If the MP7 is top-tier for an aggressive competitor who never stops sprinting, the MP5A2 is the perfect choice for a measured player who prefers a more tactical approach to gunfights. While the gun retains a devastating TTK at close range, it also has the capabilities to compete at longer distances.
Our MP5A2 loadout still focuses on deleting foes at point-blank range, including the Fast Mag, Quick Draw, and the trusty Lightweight Stock. All of this creates an incredibly balanced loadout, ideal for anyone who has just jumped into XDefiant. As always, the M9 is a backup option, and the included Flash Grenade can blind an enemy before securing the kill.
TAC-50 loadout
Attachments
Muzzle: Muzzle Booster Optic: CQBSS 8x Rear Grip: Quick Draw Grip Stock: Lightweight Stock Barrel: Rapid Fire
Device & Secondary
Device: Proximity Mine Secondary: 93R
It lights out for your enemies with the TAC-50 in hand, as this sniper rarely racks up hitmakers. Brilliant when posted up in a power position or above an objective, this weapon excels on the bigger maps where you can lock down sightlines. If you’re accurate, no one will even have the chance to fire their weapon before heading to the death screen.
Make sure to run the 93R for any opponents that manage to get close, and a Proximity Mine to block off any flanks to your vantage point.
Those are the best loadouts in XDefiant’s current meta, so try these if you’re looking to maximize your win rate and rack up as many kills as possible in Ubisoft’s FPS game.
