Best P90 loadouts in XDefiant: 3 class builds for low recoil and high damage

If you’re looking for the single best XDefiant P90 build, you’ve come to the right place. This S-tier weapon will crush your enemies with our recommended class loadout.

The P90 is one of the best SMGs in XDefiant, capable of being modified to excel at movement, close-range engagements, or medium-range fights.

To take advantage of this, here are our recommended loadouts for low recoil and high damage in the game.

Recommended XDefiant P90 loadout

Here are the following attachments you will want to throw on your P90 to make it as good as it can be:

• Barrel: Rapid Fire
• Front Rail: Leather-Wrapped Foregrip
• Rear Grip: Leather Wrapped
• Magazine: Quick Mag
• Stock: Padded Stock

Ubisoft

With this loadout, the P90 should be able to compete at medium range with Assault Rifles, and still decimate enemies that come in for close-quarter fights.

The Rapid Fire Barrel increases the gun’s already high fire rate, while the Leather-Wrapped Foregrip and Leather-Wrapped Rear Grip increases its accuracy.

The Padded Stock also boosts the P90’s accuracy, making up for what it lost with the Rapid Fire attachment.

Quick Mag should help players deal with the gun’s slower reload speed. The gun already has a giant magazine full of bullets, and the attachment allows you to reload fast without needing to hide behind cover to finish the animation.

We recommend Frag Grenade for this build as it helps out in softening up your enemies before engaging.

Best P90 loadout for low recoil

The best P90 loadout to reduce its recoil is as follows:

• Front Rail: PEQ-15
• Barrel: Stabilizing Barrel
• Rear Grip: Lightweight
• Muzzle: Barrel Extender
• Stock: Precision

The Stabilizing Barrel provides a 2.5% Horizontal and Vertical Recoil which is exceptional for a gun like P90 that is quite stable by default. It makes your gun shoot like a laser, which is deadly at close ranges.

The PEQ-15 Front Rail increases the Minimum and Maximum Spread Accuracy by 40%. This attachment helps a lot when you hip-fire your P90 in close-range combat.

Lightweight Grip increases Recoil Recovery by 25% and ADS Walk Speed by 2.5% which further improves the accuracy of the P90.

The Precision Stock improves the Horizontal and Vertical Recoil of the weapon by 5% each, adding more stability for you.

Finally, the Barrel Extender Muzzle increases the damage at Short and Medium distances at the cost of Recoil and Sprint Speed. At this point, your P90 is extremely stable, so trading a little recoil for damage provides an overall shape to this build.

Frag Grenades are the best for this build as you can easily deal with any enemy trying to run away at low HP. In the secondary slot, you can run the D50 as it is one of the best weapons to use in short range.

Best P90 loadout for high-damage

The best loadout for P90 if you want to deal more damage is as follows:

• Barrel: Chrome Lined
• Front Rail: PEQ-15
• Rear Grip: Quick Draw
• Magazine: Lightweight Mag
• Stock: Padded

The Chrome Lined Barrel enhances the damage output of the P90 by 20% across both Short and Medium ranges. This is exceptional as you wouldn’t want to take long-range gunfights with the P90 anyway.

PEQ-15 simply provides an 80% spread accuracy which comes in handy while hip-firing the weapon. It also helps in medium-range fights where you will never miss your bullets.

Quick Draw Rear Grip provides 10% Spring Shoot Time and 10% ADS Speed. This attachment enhances the run-and-gun aspect of the P90 which the weapon excels at even in its base form.

A Lightweight Mag increases the Magazine size by 4 and Reload Speed by 10% which helps out in extended gunfights. Since P90 is an SMG you will run out of bullets fast. The Lightweight Mag ensures you can continue fighting in critical scenarios.

Finally, the Padded Stock provides 15% Recoil Recovery, 10% ADS Stability, and 5% ADS Flinch Control. One of the key aspects of enhancing damage is ensuring your weapon remains stable. The Padded Stock helps out with that in the case of P90.

As always Frag Grenades are the best choice since they work in almost every scenario. For your secondary, we recommend the M9 as it is easily accessible and can be used to finish off enemies.
