Best MP7 Loadout in XDefiant – Is This The Best SMG?
XDefiant is here and gamers worldwide are falling in love with it. It took a long time to arrive thanks to more than a few delays and pushbacks, but now that Ubisoft’s free-to-play first-person shooter is on the market, players are filing in and flooding the platform. In this snapshot guide, we’re taking a look at the best MP7 loadout in XDefiant, as this small-but-mighty SMG has been turning heads since the game was released.
As one of the most classic SMGs in the world of shooters, the MP7 is already a fairly prestigious weapon. However, in XDefiant, it’s considered one of the best weapons you could run in any game mode. It has a high rate of fire and is punchy enough to take care of targets in just a few shots, and it’s highly customisable to boot. Let’s optimise the weapon as far as we can – this is the best MP7 build in XDefiant right now.

The stock MP7 can be made so much better with this loadout
If you want to move fast, light targets up in a split second, and remain as fluid as possible, you’ll want to lean on the MP7 in XDefiant. It’s one of the cleanest and most balanced weapons in the game – but it’s expected Ubisoft will tweak it soon enough to make it less OP. Out of the one million players who entered the game within hours of launch, many of them favoured the MP7.
First things first, though:
How to Unlock MP7 in XDefiant
If you want to secure the MP7 as early as possible in XDefiant, you’ll need to complete a simple challenge. In any mode, you’ll need to land 20 SMG ‘Point-Blank’ kills – which means you’ll need to jam the barrel of an SMG into your enemies and pick up the ‘Point-Blank’ accolade. It’s best to do this with the SMG preset that comes with an MP5 with a 45-round magazine – perfect for spraying and praying.

This MP7 loadout has been flaunted on stream by some of the most popular gamers in the world. This includes the likes of Seth ‘Scump’ Abner, one of the most iconic Call of Duty pro players of all time:
- Muzzle: Barrel Extender
- Barrel: Chrome-Lined Barrel
- Front Rail: Pistol Grip
- Rear Grip: Quick Draw
- Stock: Collapsed Stock
Once you’ve assembled this MP7 loadout in XDefiant, you’ll notice that it’s in the green for firepower but takes a hit where accuracy is concerned. It’s not a big deal as the MP7 doesn’t have a lot of recoil to begin with, and these components will make sure that you’re doing more damage in fewer shots, so the trade-off is well and truly there.
Fortunately, you can also use the MP7 with almost any faction member – but it’s best paired with an agile and disruptive faction like Echelon.
