All XDefiant weapons & how to unlock them
UbisoftUbisoft first-person shooter XDefiant has launched with 24 weapons available for players to unlock. Here’s what they are and how to get them.
Dubbed the “Call of Duty killer,” players patiently waited for the launch of XDefiant, and on May 21 it finally arrived to immediate fanfare, complete with the preseason Battle Pass and a functioning trial run of a ranked mode.
While discussions around the XDefiant meta are ongoing, players have started to pick out their favorite weapons, from versatile Assult Rifles to lightning-quick SMGs. But the process to unlock these guns isn’t as straightforward as just leveling up.
