In the realm of First-Person Shooter (FPS) games, XDefiant has earned its stripes. One cannot truly experience the exhilaration of XDefiant without getting their hands on the legendary AK-47. While it may not be the apex weapon, a strategic loadout can transform it into a formidable assault rifle.
Ubisoft has painstakingly ensured that every weapon in XDefiant has a build that can rule the battleground. Some players might initially find the AK-47 setup lacking, but with the right loadout, it can easily hold its own against the top-tier weapons.
Best XDefiant AK-47 loadout attachments
Remember that the Open Beta version of XDefiant only allows for five attachments. Here’s a list of the ideal AK-47 attachments to maximize its potential:
- Barrel: Recon
- Front Rail: PEQ 15
- Optics: Reflex
- Rear Grip: Quick Draw
- Muzzle: Muzzle Booster
The Recon Barrel accelerates the handling, granting you a swift draw to neutralize targets. The PEQ-15 Front Rail enhances accuracy when hip firing, proving to be an advantage in close-range combats and quick matches. The Quick Draw Rear Grip adds mobility, allowing you to draw your weapon swiftly post-sprint.
The Muzzle Booster increases the fire rate, which can be further optimized with the Reflex Optics for superior accuracy. If you prefer to mitigate the AK-47’s traditional recoil, you can replace the Reflex Optics with a Padded Stock attachment.
How to unlock AK-47 in XDefiant
During the Open Beta phase of XDefiant, all weapons are readily accessible for players to test their arsenal. However, once the game transitions to the live version, unlocking the attachments could take a while. To unlock the AK-47, players need to deal 1000 damage with assault rifles, with the M4A1 being an excellent starting point, as it is the only assault rifle available from level one.
Best XDefiant AK-47 alternatives
While the AK-47 stands out for its high firepower, it falls short in terms of mobility. Players who value maneuverability might find the M4A1 or the ACR 6.8 to be suitable alternatives. The M4A1 may not pack the same punch as the AK-47, but it offers greater mobility and accuracy, making it a worthy contender.
Embark on your XDefiant journey armed with the knowledge of how to optimize the AK-47 and remember, knowing your weapon is half the battle won. Let the games begin!
