A good FPS game deserves a great sniper rifle, and if you are looking for the Best Sniper Loadout in XDefiant, we can help. The game has a list of weapons for players to use and they all come with unlockable attachments. However, picking the best build is not something you should take lightly. After all, it can mean the difference between how good players perform and how much they contribute to their team. 

The Best Sniper Rifle Loadout in XDefiant

XDefiant offers players a variety of guns. From assault rifles to devastating SMGs, the game has it all. But what would an FPS game be without a sniper rifle, more precisely a sniper rifle with a one-shot potential? To answer this we have created the best Sniper Rifle loadout for the fastest quick-scope in the game. 

Using TAC-50 is a no-brainer, the weapon does the most damage out of the two sniper rifles currently available in XDefiant. However, using the listed attachments below will create a true beast out of this already great gun.

Muzzle: Booster 

Barrel: Recon/upgrades to Rapid Fire 

Optics: Variable Zoom or CQBSS 

Rear Grip: Fabric/upgrades to Quick Draw

Stock: Padded

  • Firstly, taking the Booster Muzzle will increase the weapon fire rate by 2.5%. Next is the Barrel and here we recommend taking the Recon Barrel until you unlock the Rapid Fire Barrel. The Recon Barrel reduces the aim-down-sight time and gives TAC-50 a slightly suppressed sound. However, once the Rapid Fire Barrel is unlocked switching to it will further increase your fire rate. Sadly, this means that you will lose a bit of aim-down-sight speed.
  • When it comes to Optics, depending on the range you’ll be using the sniper the most, you should pick either a Variable Zoom or CQBSS scope. Moreover, because Variable Scope is the one players will unlock first, using one and switching to the other is an option. Both scopes come with a penalty to aim-down-sight speed, although CQBSS is slightly better here.     
  • With Rear Grip attachments, we take the same approach as with the Barrel. This means that players should use Fabric Grip until they unlock the Quick Draw one. Due to the same aim-down-sight bonus both Grips provide, the Quick Draw Grip will just add a bonus to Sprint-Shoot time. Lastly, taking the Padded Stock gives players greater recoil recovery, more aim stability, and ADS hit flinch. 

Overall, this is the best build for sniper rifles at the moment. It provides players with the fastest quick-scope time, along with the best fire rate. In the hands of a precise player, this will turn a good sniper rifle into a brutal tool.
