Our XDefiant Tac 50 build is a deadly one shot sniper. Here, we’re going to show you that tried and tested build after hours of playing, as well as two other alternative class loadouts to dominate with the Tac.

This high-powered rifle is one of the most powerful weapons in the game, featuring an immense damage output that can one-shot enemies when landing the right hit.

Using the right attachments for it is paramount to bringing out the best of the Tac 50 and becoming a menace on the XDefiant battlefield. So, let’s dive into it.

Best XDefiant Tac 50 loadout – Recommended loadout

To make the Tac 50 the powerhouse that it is, you will need to use the following attachments:

Barrel: Lightweight
Optics: CQBSS (8x)
Magazine: Quick Mag
Rear Grip: Quick Draw
Stock: Padded

The Tac 50 is our go-to sniper in XDefiant.

This loudout is designed to make the Tac 50 much more mobile while still maintaining its incredible punch. This is done by using the Lightweight barrel and Quick Draw that will both give you a faster ADS time to help with those quick-scoping kills.

The CQBSS (8x) is a balanced scope that will help you aim further, but still be able to line up those closer shots, and the Quick Mag is going to give you a faster reload time so that you can refuel in a pinch to get back into the fight.

The Padded stock will reduce the weapon’s recoil, help with aim stability, and reduce your flinching when aiming down the sights.

The best secondary weapon is the 93R to give you a great backup option when your targets get close to you thanks to its quick, three-round burst fire.

The Proximity Mine will round the loadout to give you some added protection when positioning yourself for the shot. A well-placed mine can take out anyone trying to flank you without you having to do anything at all.

Best Tac 50 loadout for recoil

Muzzle: Compensator
Barrel: Stabilizing Barrel
Optic: Sniper Scope
Rear Grip: Lightweight Grip
Stock: Padded Stock

You can really tackle the recoil of this weapon through the use of the Compensator and the Stabilizing Barrel, which will both help the horizontal and vertical recoil.

Meanwhile, you can use the Lightweight Grip and Padded Stock to allow you to recover from your recoil much faster.

Finally, the Sniper Scope will give you the best range when using the Tac 50. It’s the default option for a reason.

Best Tac 50 loadout for damage

Muzzle: Barrel Extender
Barrel: Heavy Barrel
Optic: Sniper Scope
Rear Grip: Lightweight Grip
Stock: Lightweight Stock

The Tac 50 provides incredible damage when you use the Heavy Barrel to boost its numbers up. Then you throw in the Barrel Extender to increase the weapon’s effective range.

The Lightweight Grip and Stock will help you move much faster during a match, both in general and when aiming down the scope.

Speaking of scope, the Sniper Scope is still the best option here thanks to its range.
