The MDR is a powerful burst-fire Assault Rifle that you will come across in XDefiant, so here’s how you can unlock the weapon in the game along with the best loadout for it.
Burst-fire Assault Rifles like the MDR are powerful in XDefiant because it’s easier to land headshots with them. While recoil remains an issue at mid to long-range, the weapon packs a punch.
Even though it’s a burst-fire weapon, the MDR has a higher rate of fire than the M4A1, but mastering it can be slightly challenging because of the high recoil.
So, here’s the best loadout for the MDR and how you can unlock it in XDefiant.
Best XDefiant MDR loadout
- Muzzle: Barrel Extender
- Barrel: Stealth
- Front Rail: Small Vertical Grip
- Rear Grip: Lightweight
- Stock: Padded
The MDR in XDefiant is a powerful weapon with a very high rate of fire. It does quite well in the damage department too, but has a high recoil.
Although the above loadout doesn’t compensate for the high recoil, you will see that the recoil recovery is fairly high, so you won’t have to compensate for it too much while firing.
For the Muzzle, go with the Barrel Extender which will increase the effective range of your weapon, but will affect your recoil recovery. To compensate for this, use the Lightweight Grip on the Rear Grip, which gives a 25% boost to your recoil recovery.
To help reduce the time to ADS and to increase your speed while moving, go for the Small Vertical Grip on the Front Rail, and the Padded Stock for a boost in aiming stability.
