Best ACR 6.8 class build in XDefiant

XDefiant has many weapons on offer, along with Factions from Ubisoft’s biggest franchises. While there are plenty of guns to choose from, the ACR is a top choice, especially with the best build.

Here’s a breakdown of all the attachments you need to create the best ACR 6.8 loadout in Season 1.

Best XDefiant ACR 6.8 build attachments

• Barrel: Stabilizing
• Front Rail: Tactical
• Optics: Reflex
• Rear Grip: Grip Tape
• Stock: Padded

I found the best way to build the XDefiant ACR 6.8 is for recoil control, as it plays to the weapon’s strength of medium to long-range gunfights.

To kick things off, we’ve equipped the Stabilizing Barrel for both vertical and horizontal recoil control, and those stats are improved further by the Grip Tape Rear Grip. The Tactical Front Rail attachment also helps recoil recovery, countering these attachments that slow down ADS speed.

Finally, the Padded Stock reduces flinch and weapon sway, and the Reflex red dot sight provides a clear and accurate picture.

Best secondary & equipment

The 93R secondary handgun is a beast at close range, which covers the AR’s weakness. When built with the Lightweight Mag, you’ll have more ammo to finish the job while also retaining great mobility and speed.

Next, you’ll want the EMP Grenade to destroy any enemy abilities and devices that might be getting in your way, especially opposing Mag Barriers. This will prevent you and your team from being overwhelmed by abilities and equipment.

Best Faction

You’ll find Phantoms are the best Faction to use with the ACR 6.8 class in XDefiant. This is mainly thanks to their Passive 20 extra health and powerful Mag Barrier, which makes you a tank and hard to beat from range. This pairs ever-so-well with the ACR’s easy-to-control recoil, as you can beam enemies from range behind the Mag Barrier.

How to unlock ACR 6.8

You’ll need to get 10 Assault Rifle Longshot Kills. This requires killing enemies from more than 30 meters. Be sure to take advantage of the big maps to complete this challenge.

Best alternatives

If you’re looking for an alternative to the ACR 6.8 in XDefiant then you can’t go wrong with the new LVOA-C Assault Rifle, or choose the AK-47 if you prefer something that hits harder at the price of a little more recoil.

Take this into the Ranked mode and you’ll be shredding enemies, especially when you combine it with the best Factions for every game mode.
