It can be daunting to decide which weapon to use in any FPS these days, especially when they require ranking up to fully realize their potential. Not to worry, that's what we at Dot Esports are here for to help you with. These are the best guns to use in XDefiant. Best guns in XDefiant, ranked As is seemingly always the case in FPS games, certain classes of weapon are just going to be more viable than others, such as assault rifles and submachine guns.
