The XDefiant M16A4 Build is one of the best loadouts for the Assault Rifles in XDefiant. It is perfect for new players too, allowing you to one-shot up close, have great mobility and works well on most maps.
When it comes to the XDefiant Weapon Tier List, the M16A4 is generally considered one of the best guns in XDefiant.
The M16A4 is a burst Assault Rifle, firing three-rounds into enemies each shot. It rewards accuracy with lethal damage to opponents, making most of them 2-shots, with a 1-shot headshot range.
The gun isn't overused either; most lobbies are full of SMG users, so this gun will offer an alternative to the XDefiant Meta.
To unlock the M16A4 you need to get 20 Headshot kills with any Assault Rifle, so it does require you to use a few other XDefiant Weapons first before you get your hands on this beast!
XDefiant M16A4 Class Loadout
Here is the best M16A4 Build and Class Loadout in XDefiant. We've been using this all the way up to Level 400, easily unlocking the Prisma Skin for it too!
This gun works amazingly at ALL ranges, you'll even be able to take out SMG users at close-range if you're accurate enough.
Try out this build:
- Muzzle: Barrel Extender
- Barrel: Heavy
- Front Rail: Superlight
- Optics: Reflex
- Magazine: -
- Rear Grip: Quick Draw
- Stock: -
The Barrel Extender offers a damage range boost to short and medium ranges, with a slight hit to accuracy.
The Heavy barrel boosts your damage at all ranges, and really helps with those one-shit headshots.
Superlight will allow you to fly around the map with better ADS Speed, as will Quick Draw.
Secondary
If you like the burst-type gun play, then you should also consider the 93R Pistol. It works exactly like the M16A4, but is only really useful at close-range.
Whilst you won't use it too much, if you ever get low on ammo and stuck in close-quarters gun fight, whipping out the 93R Pistol is a decent option.
Equip the following attachments:
- Muzzle: Barrel Extended
- Optics: Reflex
- Magazine: -
- Grip: Quick Draw
- Stock: Reinforced
Device
For your Device you can either go with the Impulse Grenade to take out any enemy Faction Abilities, or use the Semtex to take out campers stuck in obscure places.
You can use the Proximity Mine as well, but the M16A4 is best for run-and-gun gameplay, moving you around the map at speed.
XDefiant M16A4 Gunplay
You'll see many top-players using the M16A4 Assault Rifle because of it's speed in downing enemies. It rivals the AK-47 and ACR as the best Assault Rifle.
It comes with plenty of ammo and rounds, meaning you rarely run out when going on a high killstreak.
Because the M16A4 relies on accuracy, new players may struggle at first using the gun. Getting used to the movement of players in XDefiant might take a little while, and your aim-tracking might lead you to miss a few shots.
You get about 7 burst rounds with this gun before you need to reload, and the reload speed is fairly fast for the Assault Rifle class.
The gun is perfect on all XDefiant Maps due to it's effectiveness at all ranges.
