Our XDefiant Tac 50 build is a deadly one shot sniper. Here, we’re going to show you that tried and tested build after hours of playing, as well as two other alternative class loadouts to dominate with the Tac.
This high-powered rifle is one of the most powerful weapons in the game, featuring an immense damage output that can one-shot enemies when landing the right hit.
Using the right attachments for it is paramount to bringing out the best of the Tac 50 and becoming a menace on the XDefiant battlefield. So, let’s dive into it.
Best XDefiant Tac 50 loadout – Recommended loadout
To make the Tac 50 the powerhouse that it is, you will need to use the following attachments:
- Barrel: Lightweight
- Optics: CQBSS (8x)
- Magazine: Quick Mag
- Rear Grip: Quick Draw
- Stock: Padded
This loudout is designed to make the Tac 50 much more mobile while still maintaining its incredible punch. This is done by using the Lightweight barrel and Quick Draw that will both give you a faster ADS time to help with those quick-scoping kills.
The CQBSS (8x) is a balanced scope that will help you aim further, but still be able to line up those closer shots, and the Quick Mag is going to give you a faster reload time so that you can refuel in a pinch to get back into the fight.
The Padded stock will reduce the weapon’s recoil, help with aim stability, and reduce your flinching when aiming down the sights.
The best secondary weapon is the 93R to give you a great backup option when your targets get close to you thanks to its quick, three-round burst fire.
The Proximity Mine will round the loadout to give you some added protection when positioning yourself for the shot. A well-placed mine can take out anyone trying to flank you without you having to do anything at all.
