Season 1 of XDefiant saw the arrival of the highly anticipated GSK Faction, additional maps like Cleanhouse, and the debut of Capture The Flag. The Season 1 Battle Pass has also arrived, allowing players to grind to unlock a variety of cosmetic rewards and three new weapons. One of these weapons is the LVOA-C, which is setting itself up to be one of the best Primary weapons in the game.
The LVOA-C serves as a middle-of-the-pack Assault Rifle in XDefiant. This nifty weapon boasts a superfast fire rate, along with excellent handling attributes like a fast ADS and sprint-to-fire speeds. Though the recoil and range of the weapon are noticeably poorer than some other weapons in its category, the LVOA-C is one of the more dominant Assault Rifles in the close-range meta. Here are the best loadouts for the LVOA-C in XDefiant.
XDefiant: How To Unlock The GSK Faction
The GSK Faction has arrived for XDefiant Season 1. Here is how players can unlock them and make use of their Faction Abilities.
Best Early-Game LVOA-C Loadout In XDefiant
Solid Early-Game Build For Low-Level Players
LVOA-C Attachments:
- Recon Barrel (Barrel)
- Superlight Grip (Front Rail)
- Quick Mag (Magazine)
- Heavy Grip (Rear Grip)
- Padded Stock (Stock)
This first build for the LVOA-C is ideal for players who are slowly leveling up their weapons, as the attachments listed above can all be acquired from levels 1 to 11. The main go-to attachments for this low-level build include the Recon Barrel and Superlight Grip, which provide a nice 15% increase in ADS speed and a 2.5% increase in movement speed. This keeps the LVOA-C fast and snappy for fast-paced gunfights, while also reducing the player's visibility on the minimap.
The Quick Mag has also been included, providing a much-needed 15% increase in reload speed along with 5 extra rounds in each magazine, minimizing the time that the weapon is down while reloading. Finally, players can finish off with the Heavy Grip and the Padded Stock, providing a 15% boost in ADS flinch control, along with improving ADS stability, horizontal recoil control, and recoil recovery. While players may be inclined to run an optic, the default iron sights for the LVOA-C are fairly clear. For the best Secondary, players can opt for weapons like the 93R.
Best Close-Range LVOA-C Loadout In XDefiant
Fast TTK LVOA-C Loadout With High Handling Attributes
LVOA-C Attachments:
- Muzzle Booster (Muzzle)
- Rapid Fire Barrel (Barrel)
- Superlight Grip (Front Rail)
- Extended Mag (Magazine)
- Removed Stock (Stock)
This next build aims to boost the LVOA-C's effectiveness in the close-range meta for XDefiant. The two major attachments players should include in this build are the Muzzle Booster and the Rapid Fire Barrel, both of which provide a drastic increase in fire rate. This grants the fastest TTK possible for the LVOA-C, making it a strong contender in the close-range meta. Next, players can equip the Superlight Grip for a boost in overall ADS speed — along with a nice buff in movement speed.
To counter the fast fire rate of the LVOA-C, the Extended Mag is a must-have attachment, providing an extra 15 rounds in each magazine at the cost of reduced movement speed and reload speed. Finally, to mitigate the movement speed reduction, players can opt for the Removed Stock, which also boosts sprint-to-shoot time. With all these attachments, the LVOA-C is set up to compete against meta close-range weapons like the MP7. Though the recoil control of this build can be problematic beyond medium range, it does little to harm its versatility up close. For the Secondary slot, players can opt for weapons like the 93R.
XDefiant: Best M16A4 Loadouts
The M16A4 is a powerhouse to use across range. Here are the best loadouts for the M16A4 in XDefiant!
Best Medium-Range LVOA-C Loadout In XDefiant
Versatile LVOA-C Loadout With Increased Accuracy
LVOA-C Attachments:
- Muzzle Booster (Muzzle)
- Heavy Barrel (Barrel)
- Angled Grip (Front Rail)
- Reflex Sight (Optic)
- Quick Mag (Magazine)
The LVOA-C is one of the few Assault Rifles that does not necessarily perform well as a long-range weapon, even when players aim to boost its effective damage range. However, the following attachments do well in making the LVOA-C a solid option in the medium-range meta. Much like the previous build, the Muzzle Booster is included, but this time it is paired with the Heavy Barrel. These two attachments aim to make the weapon more controllable across ranges, while also boosting its damage without significantly reducing the fire rate below baseline levels.
For the Front Rail, the Angled Grip has been chosen for its perks of boosting both ADS stability and horizontal recoil control, making the LVOA-C much more accurate for medium-range gunfights. Though the iron sights are pretty clear, players can opt for the Reflex Sight to engage opponents from further away. Last but not least, the Quick Mag serves as a welcome addition, boosting both reload speed and magazine ammo capacity by a small amount. While this build does not necessarily compete against the likes of the ACR 6.8, it is still a solid option. As always, for the Secondary slot, the 93R will do just fine.
