Best M249 loadout in XDefiant: Attachments, best Faction, more

If you’re looking for the best M249 loadout in XDefiant, here are the best attachments to use with the LMG.

While LMGs are generally not the first picks over SMGs or ARs in any shooter, they’re still a solid choice in XDefiant and can dominate mid to long-range encounters. The M249 is versatile, as you can build it to be more mobility-focused or to shoot like a tank.

All that said, here are the attachments we recommend running to build the best M249 LMG in XDefiant.

Best XDefiant M249 loadout attachments

Barrel: Chrome Lined
Front Rail: PEQ-15
Optics: Reflex
Rear Grip: Grip Tape
Stock: Lightweight Stock

We’ve built the best M249 loadout in XDefiant for all-round performance with high accuracy across all ranges. It all starts with the Chrome Lined barrel that’ll boost the LMG’s close and medium-range damage. Assisting it to stay competitive in close range is the PEQ-15 laser, allowing you to gun down enemies that are close to you without having to ADS.

The M249 doesn’t have too much recoil and is perfectly manageable, and whatever it has, having Grip Tape in the Rear Grip slot smoothes it out even more. So, you can reliably beam at a good distance.

For the Stock, you can either go with Lightweight Stock or Folded, both will make the movement much faster, but we’ve opted for the Lightweight. And, finally, the Reflex sight will help you in medium to long-range duels. It is arguably the best sight in the game because of how clean it is, and it doesn’t take too long to unlock either.

Although reliable, LMGs aren’t at the top of the meta charts currently in XDefiant.

How to unlock M249

The M249 in XDefiant is available right from the get-go, as it is one of the base LMG unlocks. Which means you don’t have to worry about any challenges.

Best Faction for M249 in XDefiant

The best Faction to use the M249 with in XDefiant is Phantoms.

Phantoms are the defensive class with abilities like Mag Barrier, so you can shield up and hold the lane with M249. Their Ultra also allows for closed-quarters combat, and you can push for the objective like Escort. Plus, an increase in health is always useful as well, whether you’re using M249 to hold a lane or run around.

Alternatively, you could go for Libertad as their healing will be valuable, in both holding a lane or running around with M249.
