XDefiant has a wide range of weapons to choose from, much like other FPS, allowing you to choose the gun that fits your playstyle. One of the most popular weapons is the AK -47, a powerful and fast assault rifle that is improved even more with the right loadout.

In order to get different attachments for the AK-47, you need to level up your weapon. When you reach certain levels, you will unlock certain attachments that upgrade your weapon’s performance.

If you want to head into combat with the best AK-47 loadout, here is what we recommend for XDefiant.

Is the AK-47 the best assault rifle in XDefiant?

It’s often a debate between the ACR 6.8 and the AK-47. These two assault rifles have the best stats, meaning they hit the hardest and fastest.

The biggest complaint about the AK-47 is its recoil. The recoil can heavily impact your ability to use this weapon at further distances. Luckily, this can be corrected with the right loadout.

The best AK-47 loadout in XDefiant

There are many good options for the AK-47 but if your goal is to have less recoil, these are the best attachments:

• Barrel: Stabilizing
• Optics: Reflex
• Front Rail: Angled
• Stock: Padded
• Magazine: Fast Mag

This loadout ensures that you have more control over your weapon while staying mobile. The Stabilizing barrel ensures that you have reduced recoil and better accuracy while the Angled front rail allows for a smoother recoil pattern while ADS. Meanwhile, the Fast Mag ensures you reload faster and don’t miss any opportunities.
