Best Weapon Loadouts in XDefiant

Since Ubisoft unlocked all gun attachments for beta testing purposes, you can try out all the best loadouts without having to unlock anything. Below are all the best loadouts for each weapon in my opinion.

Best MP7 Loadout

This MP7 loadout improves speed, accuracy, and stability. We have a larger breakdown of the loadout here, but these are the attachments you’ll want. This one is a personal favorite of mine!

  • Barrel: Chrome-Lined
  • Front Rail: Handstop
  • Magazine: Fast Mag
  • Rear Grip: Lightweight
  • Stock: Collapsed

Best M4A1 Loadout

The M4A1 assault rifle is currently the best assault rifle in XDefiante. This build focuses on rate of fire, reload speed, and handling. We dive deeper into the M4A1 loadout here, but these are the attachments to focus on.

  • Muzzle: Muzzle Booster
  • Barrel: Stabilizing Barrel
  • Front Rail: Leather-Wrapped Foregrip
  • Optics: Reflex Sight
  • Magazine: Fast Mag

Best ACR 6.8 Loadout

Many XDefiant players consider the ACR 6.8 superior to M4A1, but no matter the choice, it’s the build that defines how effectively the weapons perform. As with the M4A1, this loadout focuses on increasing rate of fire and reducing reload speed, with the main difference in recoil reduction.

  • Muzzle: Muzzle Booster
  • Barrel: Rapid Fire
  • Front Rail: Vertical Grip
  • Optics: Holographic Sight
  • Magazine: Extended Mag
