Best Assault Rifles in XDefiant for low recoil and damage

There are quite a few Assault Rifles to choose from in XDefiant, and a few of them have quickly emerged as some of the best weapons in the game.

Due to how versatile Assault Rifles can be with their solid damage output and decent range, these weapons can be deadly in almost any situation.

You’ll want these Assault Rifles in your hands, so here is a rundown of the best ones currently in XDefiant.

Best XDefiant Assault Rifles

ACR 6.8

Ubisoft

The ACR 6.8 takes the top spot on this list thanks to its low recoil and good damage. This is the case across any first-person shooter, and XDefiant is no different.

When using the right attachments, this is amplified even further, and the gun becomes near-perfect. The ACR 6.8 is great up close, from a distance, and everywhere in between.

All you need to do is get 10 Longshot Kills with an Assault Rifle to get this bad boy in your inventory.

LVOA-C

Ubisoft

With the right attachments, the LVOA-C Assault Rifle can hold its own as one of the best AR options in XDefiant.

The second entry on this list is the LVOA-C, because of its incredible fire rate and versatility. The gun does have some crazy recoil due to its fire rate, but once a few attachments are unlocked, this gun becomes a solid choice on most maps.

The gun has solid damage at medium to close range and can melt multiple enemies in a row with stabilizing attachments and an increased magazine size.

Players can unlock this weapon by teaching Tier 20 on the Season 1 Battle Pass.

AK-47

Ubisoft

Another staple of almost any first-person shooter, the AK-47 has some of the best damage out of any Assault Rifle, though this does come with less mobility and a lower rate of fire than other options. However, that damage output more than makes up for it.

Put the proper attachments on it to make the AK-47 a total monster on the battlefield. All you need to do to unlock it is deal 4,000 damage with any Assault Rifle.
