The best XDefiant guns are a hot topic of conversation among those dropping into Ubisoft's free-to-play arena shooter. Currently in closed beta, XDefiant is providing a solid alternative to the ever-popular Call of Duty franchise thanks to its lack of skill-based matchmaking and fast-paced action.
XDefiant also contains an extensive weapon arsenal even though it's not fully released yet. This is an exciting prospect if you plan on looking to gain the upper hand over the opposition.
But, before we take a closer look at the best XDefiant guns to use, don't forget to check out our XDefiant page for a closer look at everything to do with Ubisoft's shooter.
What are the best XDefiant guns?
After spending plenty of time testing and tweaking each primary weapon, there are a few that stand out from the crowd thanks to their superior firepower and mobility.
During the closed beta, the best XDefiant guns to use are the M4A1, the ACR 6.8, and the MP7. There's a high chance this particular trio receive nerfs before the game is fully released but for the time being, you can't go wrong with these weapons in your loadout.
