Out of 24 possible weapons in XDefiant, a few stand out above the rest. While this brand-new, free-to-play shooter just dropped, a meta emerging already makes a few weapons stand out above the rest. The game tends to favor fast movement in close quarters, so players will want to keep that in mind when picking a weapon.
For this list, we’ve picked the best weapon out of every category and a final weapon that tends to outshine the rest.
In XDefiant, the Assault Rifles tend to be doing the best out of the weapons available for players to use. While mileage may vary, XDefiant’s maps favor short-range combat, which these Assault Rifles excel at. The only potential downside is the fast ammo depletion, forcing you to need to collect more than with other weapons. The meta is quite strong with this weapon, as more and more players tend to favor it.
