Best RPK-47 loadouts in XDefiant: 3 class builds for low recoil and damage
UbisoftThere are a lot of LMGs to choose from in XDefiant, and one of the best is the RPK-74 to tear through your competition.
This gun boasts a great range that can deal damage from afar, all with a beefy magazine so you don’t have to worry about running out of shots too quickly.
You just have to know what attachments to put on the gun to really make it a menace on the battlefield. Here is a breakdown of the best RPK-74 loadout.
UbisoftRecommended XDefiant RPK-74 loadout
Use the following attachments for your RPK-74 to become a killing machine in XDefiant:
- Muzzle: Muzzle Booster
- Barrel: Rapid Fire Barrel
- Front Rail: Vertical Grip
- Rear Grip: Quick Draw Grip
- Stock: Precision Stock
This loadout is going to give you a great amount of attack power, while also ensuring you can stay mobile in a match.
It starts with the Muzzle Booster and Rapid Fire Barrel to give you an increased rate of fire. This means delivering hits more consistently to put your targets down with ease. While these attachments come at the cost of recoil, the RPK-74 already has a solid recoil control. Plus, the Vertical Grip and Precision Stock will add more recoil control.
The Quick Draw Grip helps with mobility, allowing you to aim your weapon faster and move around while aiming down the sights.
The recommended secondary weapon for this loadout is the 93R to make up for what the RPK-74 might lack in its close-quarters capabilities.
Finally, bring a Frag Grenade with you to help clear objectives and rooms easily, and then move in to clean up the survivors.
Best RPK-47 loadout for recoil
- Barrel: Stabilizing Barrel
- Front Rail: Tactical Grip
- Stock: Padded Stock
- Optic: Reflex
- Rear Grip: Lightweight Grip
Using the Stabilizing Barrel is a great attachment that will give you improved recoil all-around, and the Padded Stock can keep you stable when you are aiming down the sights.
Using the Tactical Grip and Lightweight Grip are both going to help with recoil recovery and help you move faster around the map at the same time.
Finally, the Reflex Sight is a solid option that can help with aiming from any distance in the game.
Best RPK-47 loadout for damage
- Muzzle: Muzzle Booster
- Barrel: Heavy Barrel
- Front Rail: Superlight Grip
- Magazine: Fast Mag
- Rear Grip: Quick Draw Grip
To boost the damage, the Heavy Barrel is here to increase that output, while the Muzzle Booster will increase your rate of fire to provide more of those painful shots.
The RPK-47 doesn’t have a great reload time, which is why the Fast Mag is a a great way to counter that while also giving you more shots in each clip.
The Superlight Grip is designed to give you better movement speed and ADS speed, while the Quick Draw Grip will also help with the ADS Speed.
