How to unlock Sawed-Off Shotgun in XDefiant

XDefiant Season 1 introduces a new Secondary weapon type in the Sawed-Off Shotgun. Here’s how you can get your hands on it for free.

Throughout XDefiant’s Pre-Season period, just five Secondary weapons were available. Some provided more firepower like the Magnum, while others provided a better rate of fire like the 93R, but all five were typical sidearms.

Mixing things up somewhat, XDefiant Season 1 brings a new type of secondary weapon into the spotlight. The first of its kind in the category, the Sawed-Off Shotgun is now in focus, providing a serious blast of close-range damage when you’re in a tough spot.

So if you’re looking to grab the Sawed-Off Shotgun for yourself in XDefiant, read on to learn how it’s unlocked for free.

How to get the Sawed-Off Shotgun Secondary in XDefiant

The Sawed-Off Shotgun Secondary weapon in XDefiant is available through the Season 1 Battle Pass and is unlocked at Tier 80. While the Battle Pass itself boasts a premium track, weapons are always available through the free track, meaning you can grab the new Secondary without paying a cent for it.

It’s also worth mentioning, that there’s currently no telling what happens to the Sawed-Off Shotgun when Season 1 ends. When the Season 1 Battle Pass is replaced with Season 2’s, it’s unclear what will happen to the new weapons in the free track.

In other live-service titles, we often see free rewards later unlocked through in-game challenges, and XDefiant may follow suit, though that’s purely speculation for now.
