XDefiantmarks Ubisoft’s triumphant entry into the free-to-play first-person shooter genre, providing players with fast-paced action. This arena shooter blends the traditional style of gameplay present in theCall Of Dutyfranchise and blends it with aspects of hero shooters with the inclusion ofvarious Factions, each of which sport different abilities. Though the topic of which Faction is the best may be on most players' minds, their choice of weapon can also mean the difference between a victory and a loss.
ThoughXDefiantoffers a wide range of weapons, one of the top choices has to be the MP7. This nifty Submachine Gun is the ideal weapon for close-range combat and is often regarded as the top Submachine Gun of its category thanks to its high TTK and overall versatility. For players looking to dominate theXDefiantclose-range meta, here are thebest loadouts for the MP7!
Best MP7 Loadout For Low-Level Players
Best MP7 Attachments:
This first MP7 build is more tailored for players currentlyfighting the slow weapon progression system inXDefiant.All of the above attachments can be earned from levels 1 through 11and are the best options available for low-level players. This particular build provides a 15% increase in ADS speed, boosting the ADS speed reduction from 185 milliseconds down to 157.3 milliseconds. This is great for quickly snapping onto opponents at close range, and although it is far from the fastest ADS speed possible, it’s the highest players can achieve with a low-level build.
Other neat benefits of this MP7 build include areduction in player visibility range— and duration on the minimap — along with the incorporation of the Reflex Sight for close-range precision. Furthermore, this build also makes use of the Quick Mag Magazine, which players may notice as a constant for many of the best builds for the MP7. This is because the magazine provides both a 15% increase in reload speed and 5 extra rounds without introducing any negatives. For a good secondary, the93R should prove more than sufficient.
MP7 Loadout That Provides The Fastest ADS Speed
This next MP7 loadout has been built from the ground up to increase the weapon’s versatility at close range. Though the MP7 already boasts a fairly high level of handling, it can be boosted even further, makingthe MP7 one of the best weapons availablefor close-range combat. The main attraction of this build is the fact that it provides adrastic 35% increase in ADS speed, improving the ADS speed reduction from 185 milliseconds to 120.2 milliseconds. This is the fastest players can get, making it an ideal loadout for quickly engaging opponents.
That’s not all, however, as this build also provides a2.5% increase in fire rate, boosting the overall TTK at close range. Other neat benefits include a 2.5% increase in movement speed along with a 15% increase in reload speed, keeping the MP7 snappy for aggressive players. Though the recoil may be a problem at medium range and beyond, largely due to a10% reduction in horizontal and vertical recoil control, this build still shines in the close-range meta. For a good swap-to-secondary, stick with the 93R.
High Fire Rate MP7 Loadout For Increased DPS
Players may notice a few similarities between the previous build and this one, as many of the same attachments have been carried over. However, two attachments in particular have been swapped out. The first attachment to be dropped is the Lightweight Barrel in favor of theRapid Fire Barrel, which presents a7.5% increase in fire ratewhen paired with the Muzzle Booster, boosting the overall TTK of the MP7 even further.
The second attachment to be dropped is the Superlight Grip for theTactical Grip. This is mainly to mitigate the reductions in accuracy and recoil control of the Rapid Fire Barrel, as this particular Front Rail provides recoil recovery to stop accuracy from falling too low. Just like the previous build, handling remains relatively high, boasting anADS speed reduction of 157.3 milliseconds from 185 milliseconds. Sprint out time has also improved from 185 milliseconds to 166.5 milliseconds, allowing players to quickly fire their weapon after coming out of a sprint. As always, forthe best secondary available, players can opt for the 93R.
Strong MP7 Loadout For Increased Damage Range
This final build for the MP7 aims to boost the overall damage range of the SMG. Though not necessarily holding a candle tothe best Assault Rifles inXDefiant, the above attachments do allow the MP7 to perform much better at medium range, which is ideal for larger maps. This is made apparent by the30% increase in both short and medium range, boosting the effective damage range from 17 meters and 22 meters to 22 meters and 29 meters.
This build also provides a much-needed15% increase in ADS stabilityalong with a5% increase in horizontal recoil control, allowing for easier control of the MP7’s recoil from a distance. The Reflex Sight has also been included for better accuracy across range, along with the Quick Mag to provide sleight of hand reload speeds and additional rounds without any cons. The only major caveats of this build are the reductions it has on handling, reducing sprint mobility to 0.9 m/s, increasing sprint out time from 185 milliseconds to 203.5 milliseconds, and increasing ADS speed reduction from 185 milliseconds to 212.8 milliseconds. However, these cons aren’t too poor, and players can still swap to their secondary for a mobility boost between gunfights.
