Let’s face it: XDefiant wouldn’t be a proper FPS without the option of unlocking the AK-47. Here’s the best loadout to turn it into a potent Assault Rifle in the XDefiant Server Test Session.

Ubisoft is focused on solving the last kinks of XDefiant during the latest Server Test Session, and players are trying every loadout to check which weapons are the best in this free-to-play FPS.

While players may have been a little bit underwhelmed by the AK-47’s initial setup, here’s the best loadout that can help it completely dominate XDefiant’s meta.

Keep in mind that you can only use five attachments in XDefiant Server Test Session.
  • Barrel: Recon
  • Front Rail: PEQ 15
  • Optics: Reflex
  • Rear Grip: Quick Draw
  • Muzzle: Muzzle Booster

We’ve built the best XDefiant AK-47 with the Recon Barrel for quicker handling to give a fast draw to ensure targets. With the PEQ-15 Front Rail attachment, you’ll add accuracy when firing from the hip, which is better in close range and quick matches. To add more mobility, the Quick Draw Rear Grip helps to draw your weapon faster after sprinting.

The Muzzle Booster is great for an increased fire rate that can be optimized by choosing the Reflex Optics attachment for better accuracy. If you rather eliminate the classic AK-47 recoil instead, you can switch the latter for a Padded Stock attachment.

How to unlock AK-47 in XDefiant

XDefiant Server Test Session is all about checking the different options in the player’s arsenal, so all weapons are unlocked at the beginning. But once the game goes live, players should know that unlocking its attachments can take a little while. To get the AK-47 you’ll need to deal 1000 damage with assault rifles, and it’s better to start the M4A1 since it’s the only assault rifle unlocked at level one.

When the full game launches, we’ll let you know how to unlock the AK-47.

Best XDefiant AK-47 alternatives

A good alternative to the AK-47 is the M4A1 or the ACR 6.8. The M4A1 has less firepower but definitely boasts more mobility and accuracy. In comparison, the AK-47 boasts higher firepower but lacks in the mobility department.
