XDefiant has a vast library of weapons for players to utilize when headed into battle. While presets give players access to optimized weapons despite being at a low level, they need to gain more Weapon XP to unlock the attachment themselves. However, every new player has access to six weapons only, one from each category of Assault Rifles, SMGs, Shotguns, LMGs, Marksman, and Snipers.

All XDefiant Weapons

XDefiant has a total of six weapon categories. Each section is filled with different variants for each weapon type:

Assault

  • M4A1
  • AK-47
  • M16A4
  • MDR
  • ACR 6.8

SMG

  • MP5A2
  • Vector .45 ACP
  • P90
  • MP7

Shotgun

  • M870
  • Double Barrell
  • AA-12

LMG

  • M249
  • RPK-74
  • M60

Marksman

  • MK 20 SSR
  • SVD

Sniper

  • M44
  • TAC-50

However, not everything is available at the early stages of one's playthrough in XDefiant. Players need to complete a set of challenges to unlock all other weapons. The only guns they can initially use are the M4A1, MP5A2, M870, M249, MK 20 SSR, and M44.

How to Unlock XDefiant Weapons

Secondary Weapons

Like the majority of the shooting games today, players can switch between primary and secondary weapons in XDefiant. These secondary weapons mainly consist of different pistols. Ubisoft is yet to reveal if they plan on releasing other secondary weapon types in the future. For now, here are all the pistols and how to unlock them:

A shooting game isn't complete without having throwable weapons. As of the preseason, XDefiant has a total of five devices to throw at enemies. With the exception of the Frag Grenade, here's how to unlock all devices in the game:

  • EMP Grenade – Deal 400 damage to enemy equipment with Devices
  • Proximity Mine – Deal 1,000 damage with Devices
  • Flashbang Grenade – Kill 20 enemies suffering from status conditions
  • Sticky Grenade – Inflict 25 status conditions with Devices

Weapon Attachments

While one of the goals of the game is to unlock all weapons for players to have a wide selection of guns to choose from in situational moments, it's also important to fully optimize these weapons according to one's standard.

As players consistently make use of a specific gun in-game, they are rewarded with Weapon XP that not only levels up a weapon but also gives it new attachments. These attachments are meant to upgrade each gun in the game, giving them more power, stability, and overall functionality. Players are free to play around with these accessories and combine them in a manner that makes the weapon comfortable for them to use.

With all that said, here are all the attachments for each weapon type in XDefiant.
