XDefiant is nothing without a vast array of weapons, and one of the best guns in the game is the M4A1. This tried-and-tested weapon is a staple in modern first-person shooters, but in XDefiant, it’s a show-stopper. With this versatile rifle in your hands, you’ll be decimating enemies at all ranges – including across the map and right up close. That’s why we’ve assembled this guide to the best M4 loadout in XDefiant, so you can secure the best build with minimal effort.

The M4A1 is already proving to be a fan-favourite and a top-tier choice for budding pro players in the XDefiant universe. It’s one of the first weapons you’ll likely use in the game, but the base weapon can be expanded on so much more with a diverse series of attachments. But which attachments are best for the M4A1 in XDefiant? Let’s find out with this guide to the best M4 build in the game.

Best M4 Build in XDefiant

The M4 is unlocked from the moment you start playing XDefiant, so there’s no need to track down a guide on how to get it. Unlike other weapons, the M4A1 is considered a ‘starter gun’ as it has no real prerequisites, but it’s the kind of weapon you’ll keep using for hundreds of hours beyond your starting point.

With that being said, here’s the best M4 loadout in XDefiant:

• Muzzle: Muzzle Booster
• Barrel: Rapid Fire Barrel
• Optic: Reflex Sight
• Front Rail: Leather Wrap
• Magazine: Fast Mag

This M4 build could beat any other assault rifle in XDefiant in the right hands. With the muzzle booster and rapid-fire barrel, you’re spitting lead much faster than usual, which means the TTK is lowered dramatically. The reflex sight is as classic as it gets in terms of FPS-based optics, and it offers a clear sight picture that’ll have you acquiring targets in a split second. There isn’t much recoil from base, but the leather wrap helps negate anything that remains.

Finally, you’ve got the fast mag, which does what it says on the tin, making reloads much faster. That’s a perfect accompaniment to the high-speed action present in XDefiant and it can be a game changer for any player.

To keep it simple, pair the M4A1 with an M9 or an M1911 pistol and a frag grenade. It’s the kind of weapon that can be used by any faction, but it’s solid in the hands of a Phantom with a mag barrier.
