As a seasoned XDefiant player with countless hours under my belt, I can confidently say that these loadout builds are absolute game-changers! The P90 form, for instance, is like having a cheat code – it’s simply exhilarating to zip around the map and take down enemies with ease.
The long-awaited Season 2 overhaul for XDefiant introduces fresh maps, firearms, characters, gameplay modes, and visual enhancements to the first-person shooter. Following the latest adjustment in weapon balance, here are some recommended loadout builds for top-tier guns currently dominating the game.
Best XDefiant Season 2 Meta Loadouts
In Call of Duty, powerful “meta” weapons can give you an advantage over opponents, but XDefiant ensures a level playing field by equally balancing weapon stats. Regardless of the weapon you prefer, it’s enjoyable to use – apart from shotguns which seem underpowered. However, here are my top choices for guns that feel satisfying in Season 2 when properly equipped with their loadout configurations.
1. AK-47 Loadout
Barrel | Lightweight Barrel |
Front Rail | Small Vertical Grip |
Magazine | Fast Mag |
Rear Grip | Quick Draw Grip |
Stock | Lightweight Stock |
In XDefiant, the dependable AK-47 Assault Rifle stands out as the preferred choice for numerous players, including myself. Its impressive time-to-kill, agile maneuverability, exceptional precision, and clear iron sights are what make it appealing to me. To enhance this weapon’s performance in my build, I’ve equipped attachments that boost its mobility and handling statistics, such as aim down sight speed.
2. PP-19 Loadout
Barrel | Lightweight Barrel |
Front Rail | Small Horizontal Grip |
Magazine | Fast Mag |
Rear Grip | Quick Draw Grip |
Stock | Removed Stock |
With the arrival of Season 2, PP-19 has been introduced as the latest weapon in XDefiant and I’m finding it quite appealing. It currently stands out as the best Submachine Gun in the game due to its exceptional mobility and damage capabilities. The rapid movement, aim down sights (ADS), and strafing speeds can be boosted by using the suggested attachments. Personally, I opt for the Fast Mag over Quick Mag, as the slight decrease in ADS speed is negligible compared to the significant reload speed enhancement provided by the former when it comes to the magazine.
3. MDR Loadout
Barrel | Heavy Barrel |
Front Rail | Vertical Grip |
Optic | Reflex Sight |
Magazine | Extended Mag |
Rear Grip | Quick Draw Grip |
In XDefiant, I hadn’t often favored the MDR Assault Rifle over other weapons until Season 2. However, it received notable improvements, making it compete effectively with guns like the AK-47 and ACR (which will be discussed further). The Vertical Grip enhances recoil management, while the Quick Draw Grip boosts ADS speed. Notably, the Heavy Barrel is its crucial attachment, adding an extra 5% damage to the MDR.
4. MP7 Loadout
Muzzle | Barrel Extender |
Front Rail | Superlight Grip |
Magazine | Quick Mag |
Rear Grip | Quick Draw Grip |
Stock | Collapsed Stock |
The MP7 Submachine Gun consistently excels due to its outstanding maneuverability, control, and rapid-fire capabilities. While it may fall short in range, this deficiency can be partially compensated by using the Barrel Extender accessory. The rest of the attachments are designed to enhance the gun’s agility, enabling you to outrun opponents effectively.
5. M16A4 Loadout
Barrel | Rapid Fire Barrel |
Front Rail | Tactical Grip |
Optic | Reflex Sight |
Rear Grip | Quick Draw Grip |
Stock | Lightweight Stock |
You can never go wrong with everyone’s favorite burst-fire Assault Rifle in XDefiant: the M16A4. It’s undoubtedly the weapon with the best accuracy and control as the burst shots are concentrated with a minor horizontal deviation; the Tactical Grip front rail and Quick Draw rear grip help with that. Make sure to use the Rapid Fire barrel for the fire rate boost.
6. ACR 6.8 Loadout
Barrel | Lightweight Barrel |
Front Rail | Small Vertical Grip |
Optic | Reflex Sight |
Rear Grip | Fabric Grip |
Stock | Folded Stock |
It appears that the ACR AR is here to stay, and it continues to be a popular choice among players, as I’ve observed during my recent gaming sessions. The add-ons for this setup are reminiscent of those we’ve utilized with the AK-47. In place of the rapid reload magazine, I’ve opted for the clear Reflex Sight optic, as I find the iron sights on this weapon less preferable.
7. P90 Loadout
Barrel | Lightweight Barrel |
Front Rail | Superlight Grip |
Magazine | Quick Mag |
Rear Grip | Quick Draw Grip |
Stock | Padded Stock |
Should you find the MP7 less satisfying to use, consider switching to the P90 SMG post-Season 2 update. It’s been fine-tuned with improvements that elevate its performance, making it a top-notch, swift and lethal weapon. The standard attachments for an SMG are available, boosting both the movement speed and aim down sights time of the P90.
8. L115 Loadout
Muzzle | Muzzle Booster |
Barrel | Lightweight Barrel |
Optic | Variable Zoom Scope (4x-8x) |
Rear Grip | Fabric Grip |
Stock | Padded Stock |
The list of best loadout builds in XDefiant Season 2 would be imperfect without a Sniper Rifle recommendation. Players like sniping every once in a while and for that, I suggest using the L115. The attachments used here will help you with the ADS speed and stability. As for the optic, you can stick with the default one or use something like the Variable Zoom Scope (4x-8x) or CQBSS (8x).
9. M60 Loadout
Barrel | Lightweight Barrel |
Front Rail | Superlight Grip |
Optic | Reflex Sight |
Magazine | Quick Mag |
Rear Grip | Fabric Grip |
In XDefiant, I rarely encounter players wielding Light Machine Guns, but I thought it was worth mentioning a weapon from this category for those who are curious. The M60 is quite effective in terms of damage, but it falls short when it comes to mobility and reload speed, typical issues with LMGs. To make the gun feel less cumbersome, the attachments used here help boost these stats slightly.
10. MP5A2 Loadout
Barrel | Lightweight Barrel |
Front Rail | Superlight Grip |
Magazine | Fast Mag |
Rear Grip | Quick Draw Grip |
Stock | Lightweight Stock |
19 PP, 7 MP, and P90 submachine guns perform superiorly compared to the MP5A2 in competitive play, but the MP5A2 remains a viable option. You might want to experiment with the mobile-oriented build I’ve suggested and make your own judgment. Use the MP5 for casual gaming, while opting for the previously mentioned choices when engaging in serious competition.
