The best XDefiant loadout for the current meta

What are the best XDefiant kits? Accuracy and precision in gunfights can be essential if you want to lead your team to victory. Still, without metaweapons and attachments, there’s a risk that your opponents will overtake you. Luckily, we’ve been busy experimenting and now have all the best XDefiant kits, so you can go into every fight confident that your weapon will perform at its best.

Choosing which weapons to master from the 24 that make up the XDefiant arsenal can be overwhelming, especially when you’re also learning the intricacies of the XDefiant maps and all of the XDefiant factions, skills, and traits. However, once you become familiar with your best preseason options, the process should be much less intimidating. Whether you’re a sharpshooter who prefers to snipe enemies from afar, or an assault rifle fan who loves to deal massive damage at mid-range, we’ve got the best XDefiant loadout here.

Top XDefiant equipment

Here are the best loadouts in XDefiant, including the strongest attachments and devices:

M16A4 equipment

Attachments

• Mouth: Compensator
• Optical: Reflective gaze
• Warehouse: Padded stock
• Front rail: Tactical grip
• Barrel: Rapid fire

Device and secondary device

• Device: Frag Grenade
• Secondary: 93R

An underrated weapon in XDefiant, the M16A4 is a mid-to-long-range machine thanks to its powerful burst fire that can instantly kill enemies if you land a headshot. The above equipment focuses on increasing the stability of the AR to minimize recoil with each trigger pull. Moreover, the rapid fire barrel is an essential part of this set as it increases the rate of fire by 5%. If you don’t kill the enemy with the first burst, a second burst of bullets will fire in the blink of an eye to finish the job.

Remember that burst shooting with the M16A4 will not be for everyone, as it is extremely difficult to master. However, if you put in hours of practice, you will become a top-notch AR that can handle tough matches.

ACR equipment 6.8

Attachments

• Barrel: Stabilizing
• Optics: reflex
• Front rail: small vertical
• Magazine: Light
• Rear grip: grip tape

Device and secondary device

• Device: Frag Grenade
• Secondary: M9

ACR 6.8 is the king of consistency in XDefiant, with incredible base damage numbers that make taking out opponents in any mode a breeze. Its most important advantage is the versatility of the weapon, dealing solid damage from a distance and even up close if necessary. We have adapted the above equipment set for aggressive players who want to hunt down their enemies. Mobility is maximized in this build, which means you have the tools to use movement to force favorable shootouts and take fights.

If you run out of ammo and find yourself in a tight spot, the extra M9 will finish off any annoying enemy in your path. There’s also the classic frag grenade for taking out targets and pushing enemies out of cover.

AK-47 equipment

Attachments

• Barrel: Light
• Front rail: Gun
• Optical: Reflex
• Magazine: Fast Mage
• Warehouse: Folded

Device and secondary device

• Device: Frag Grenade
• Secondary: M9

The AK-47 is a true heavy-hitter and a solid choice in any FPS game, and XDefiant is no different. Due to the fast gameplay, we created an AK version that works best when used on the front foot rather than in a strong position.

The light barrel increases movement speed and reduces aiming time by 15%, ensuring faster aiming and target acquisition. Don’t forget about the quick magazine, which is another important addition to your equipment, offering a 40% shorter reload time. Less downtime when recovering ammo means less risk of being caught off guard. The slower rate of fire means the AK-47 can be difficult to pilot, but in the hands of a sharpshooter this weapon is an absolute powerhouse.

MP7 payload

Attachments

• Muzzle: Barrel extension
• Stock: Precision stock
• Warehouse: Fast Mag
• Rear grip: Quick Draw grip
• Front rail: Super light handle

Device and secondary device

• Device: Flash Grenade
• Secondary: M9

Now we’ve taken care of the AR, it’s time to move on to the melee specialist in the form of the MP7. This small weapon boasts a lethal rate of fire, unmatched handling, and high damage if you land a hit. Equipped with the best running and shooting equipment, our kit is designed to flank and directly challenge opponents.

The best choice for Domination, Zone Control and Occupy modes. You can take over the lobby with MP7 if you can move around the maps at high speed. Every attachment has been carefully selected, from the quick magazine to the super-light grip, so you can glide across the battlefield and kill farms.

MP5A2 payload

Attachments

• Barrel: Chrome lining
• Magazine: Fast Mage
• Rear handle: Quick draw
• Warehouse: Light
• Front rail: Small vertical

Device and secondary device

• Device: Flash Grenade
• Secondary: M9

If the MP7 is top-notch for the aggressive fighter who never stops running, the MP5A2 is the perfect choice for the balanced player who prefers a more tactical approach to shootouts. While the gun retains its devastating TTK at close range, it can also compete at longer ranges.

Our MP5A2 kit continues to focus on taking out enemies at close range, including a quick magazine, quick draw, and the proven lightweight stock. It all adds up to an incredibly balanced package, perfect for anyone who’s just jumped into XDefiant. As always, the M9 is a backup option, and the included Flash Grenade can blind an enemy before securing a kill.

TAC-50 equipment

Attachments

• Mouth: Muzzle booster
• Optical: CQBSS 8x
• Rear handle: Quick drawing handle
• Warehouse: Light stock
• Barrel: Rapid fire

Device and secondary device

• Device: A mine of closeness
• Secondary: 93R

Shine for your enemies with the TAC-50 in hand because this sniper rarely scores hits. Works great when placed in a power position or above a target. This weapon is great on larger maps where you can block line of sight. If you’re thorough, no one will even have a chance to fire their gun before going to the death screen.

Make sure to deploy 93R on any enemies that manage to get close, and a proximity mine to block the flanks from your vantage point.

These are the best sets in the current XDefiant meta, so give them a try if you want to maximize your win rate and get the most kills in Ubisoft’s FPS game. You may also be interested in checking how XDefiant crossplay works and the XDefiant system requirements to get the best performance.
