SMGs are perfect for close-quarters fights and XDefaint has top-tier choices to pick from. So, here are the best SMGs in XDefiant during its Preseason period.
With XDefiant finally in players’ hands, the race is on to find the best guns in the game. As the early meta starts to take shape, Assault Rifles and Snipers are proving effective at long-range, but close-range is all about SMGs.
With this in mind, here are the best SMGs in XDefiant, including a ranked list of every single one.
All XDefiant SMGs ranked
There are four different SMGs to choose from in XDefiant at launch, but the devs have announced that more weapons will be added with the Season 1 update. Here’s a ranked list of every SMG from best to worst to show how the meta is looking:
- MP7
- P90
- Vector .45
- MP5A2
Best XDefiant SMGs
4. MP5A2
The MP5A2 is the first SMG you unlock in XDefiant, and although it’s a solid place to start it does get outshined by its rivals. That being said, it has the best range in the class, helping it go toe-to-toe with Assault Rifles in situations where other guns would be unable to cope.
However, when it comes to close-range, the area that this category specializes in, I found it to be the weakest of the launch offerings.
