With the release of Season 2 in XDefiant, a brand new skin has been released called the Pyroclastic Weapon Skin. It's available for all weapons but you're going to have to grind for it!

Pyroclastic Skin is a Level 500 Weapon Skin, but there are several new challenges attached to unlocking it too.

Each weapon in XDefiant has a max level of 500, and the following skins are available:

• Level 100 - Bronze
• Level 150 - Silver
• Level 200 - Gold
• Level 300 - Titaninum Violet
• Level 350 - Titanium Azure
• Level 400 - Titanium Prisma
• Level 500 (max) - Pyroclastic

The three Titanium Skins were introduced in Season 1 and just involve leveling up your XDefiant Weapons. However, some felt the challenge for unlocking these skins was too easy, so XDefiant has now released the Pyroclastic Skin with several challenges.

To unlock the Pyroclastic skin on your weapon you need to:

• Get your weapon to Level 500
• Get 4 Assault Rifles to Level 400
• Get 4 SMGs to Level 400
• Get 3 Shotguns to Level 400
• Get 3 LMGs to Level 400
• Get 2 Marksman Rifles to Level 400
• Get 2 Snipers to Level 400
• Get 5 Secondaries to Level 400

And the best part? These challenges will only be available until the end of Season 4! After that, we are not sure whether the skin will be available in some other method.

How To Get Weapon Level 400 EASILY

The easiest way to get your weapons to Level 400 is to wait for 2x EXP Events and stack them with Weapon Booster Tokens. That will give you a base rate of 4x when leveling up your guns.

But it gets better- when you play XDefiant, you gain an extra +50 Weapon XP per kill when on a streak. So you get rewarded for going on streaks and preserving your life.

• 1 Killstreak = 100 XP
• 2 Killstreak = 150 XP
• 3 Killstreak = 200 XP
• 4 Killstreak = 250 XP
• 5 Killstreak = 300 XP
• 6 Killstreak = 350 XP
• 7 Killstreak = 400 XP
• 8 Killstreak = 450 XP
• 9 Killstreak = 500 XP
• 10 Killstreak = 550 XP (with 4x, you'll get 2200 XP per kill)

You should therefor save your Weapon Booster tokens for these Double Weapon XP Events. They usually occur at the weekends and happen multiple times throughout a season.

You can earn Weapon Booster tokens from the Battle Pass and Ubisoft Challenges. Check out our free XDefiant XCoins guide.

Easiest Guns To Level Up

If you're going for the Pyroclastic Skin, you'll want to make the grind as easy as possible and use the best guns that are easy to level up. Tanking your K/D ratio might be invitable for a few guns, but hopefully this list is worth it!

New guns will be introduced in Season 2 that you can unlock by leveling up the Battle Pass.
