XDefiant‘s Server Test Session is now live and will run until April 21. You’d want to make the most of the limited time, which means choosing the best guns and loadout.

When it comes to Assault Rifles, it doesn’t get any more iconic than the M4A1 and the always-reliable classic AR will quickly become your go-to weapon as it is an excellent all-round pick. So, we’ve put together a guide on all the attachments you need to build the best M4A1 loadout in XDefiant.

Barrel: Recon
Front Rail: Tactical
Optic: Reflex
Rear Grip: Grip Tape
Stock: Padded

The M4 is perfect for picking enemies off at mid to long-range, so our best XDefiant M4A1 loadout focuses on recoil control to keep it on target. We start with the Recon Barrel, which improves minimap visibility to give you a better read of the situation at all times.

Next up, the Tactical Front Rail buffs recoil recovery and speeds up the ADS speed, to help keep the AR centered and ensure it’s quick on the draw. While the M4A1’s iron sight is solid enough, adding a Reflex Optic offers a little extra accuracy.

Lastly, we’ve gone for Grip Tape to curb the Assault Rifle’s verticle and horizontal recoil, as well as the Padded Stock for more stability and less flinch. With this setup, the M4A1 is laser-accurate without sacrificing too much of its ADS speed and mobility.

The M4A1 is a great all-purpose Assault Rifle in XDefiant.

How to unlock M4A1 in XDefiant

The M4A1 is unlocked from the get-go in the XDefiant Server Test Session, so there are no unlock requirements to meet. For this Server Test session, all guns and attachments are unlocked, so you don’t have to worry about leveling up or anything like that.

This could easily change when the full game arrives sometime in 2024, so we’ll update this section with how to unlock the M4A1 in XDefiant as soon as we know more.

If the M4A1 isn’t quite cutting it for you, the ACR 6.8 is another great all-round Assault Rifle with very few weaknesses. On the other hand, while the AK-47 lacks in the mobility department, it has more than enough firepower to dominate XDefiant.
