XDefiant: Best P90 Loadouts

Ubisoft’s XDefiant offers a fast-paced first-person shooter experience, where the results are determined mainly by the player’s skills and weapons. When it comes to choosing the best weapons in the game, there are many options to choose from. However, simply selecting the appropriate gun will not suffice; players must also learn each attachment and create the most powerful loadout before engaging in enticing multiplayer combat.

One powerful weapon in XDefiant is the P90, which may be overpowered during a shootout with the right attachments. The P90 is widely regarded as one of the greatest SMGs in the game, owing to its fast firing rate, high accuracy at all ranges, and mostly due to its large magazine size. When combined with the ideal loadout, this gun has the potential to be the most effective weapon in any game mode in the current meta.

Best Early Game P90 Loadout

These are the best attachments to use if your P90 is still in the early levels:

Barrel: Recon
Front Rail: Superlight
Optics: Reflex
Rear Grip: Heavy Grip
Stock: Padded

When you're just getting started, the standard P90 might be a great option. However, with the attachments listed in the setup above, even a lower-level P90 may perform quite well, allowing you to drop some incredible kill stats each time. All of these attachments will be accessible at the gun's early level, allowing players to swiftly improve to a powerful version.

This build focuses on enhancing the gun's mobility and accuracy while utilizing the large magazine size of the P90. While these attachments may be obtained early, this build is extremely adaptable and may be employed in a maxed-level P90.

This build can also be a viable option with a max level P90 because of the buffs these attachments provide to the gun. While accuracy and mobility are greatly increased, there is close to no downside to using these attachments.

Although this build doesn’t improve the weapon's fire rate like the other builds mentioned in this guide, the base stat of 825 RPM still works very well. The main benefit of this build is enhanced weapon handling, as the attachments reduce the ADS Speed Reduction from 170 ms to 144.5 ms and boost the ADS stability by 2%, bringing it to 16% from the previous 14%. Furthermore, the accuracy is increased, with the horizontal recoil control reduced by 2% from its initial value of 50%.

Best Close/Mid-Range P90 Loadout

The best attachments to use with P90 for the performance in close/mid range are:

Muzzle: Brake
Barrel: Rapid Fire
Front Rail: Superlight
Optics: Reflex/Holo
Stock: Precision

This build takes use of the P90's basic power and develops strength around it, without losing much in terms of firepower or accuracy. Using the base stats, this build focuses mostly on improving the rate of fire so that the gun can assist the players in winning any battle, whether in close or mid-range combat.

When configuring this loadout, the metrics displayed in the UI may not appear remarkable at all. However, when tested with the attachments included, this build outperformed the other builds mentioned in this guide in terms of close-range efficiency. Therefore, it is suggested as the best close/mid-range P90 build. Before getting into the details, it is crucial to note that SMGs are designed for close-quarters fighting rather than long-range gunfights; if you want a build that can take out opponents at close range, opt for assault rifles like the AK47 or ACR.

In terms of this build's numbers, the Muzzle Brake and Rapid Fire Barrel boost the Rate of Fire by 41 RPM, bringing it to 866 RPM from 825 RPM at the start. While the weapon's range is reduced by one metre, the difference is negligible given the increased number of rounds fired.

The standard Sprint Out Time and ADS Speed Reduction of 170 ms work effectively in virtually all scenarios, allowing players to open their ADS and fire rapidly when engaging an opponent. While this weapon has somewhat lesser recoil control, the Reflex or Holo optics make it considerably easier for players to aim. However, if the tiny loss in recoil control is still difficult for you to manage, you may attempt the next loadout mentioned in this guide, which works as well as this one, if not better.

Best All-Round P90 Loadout

The best attachments to use for the best all-round performance P90 loadout build are:

Muzzle: Muzzle Booster
Barrel: Rapid Fire
Front Rail: Leather Wrapped
Optics: Reflex
Magazine: Fast Mag

Finally, we have a build for the players who want a balanced gunfight at both long and close range, without sacrificing other significant stats. Although most SMGs perform better at close-range, this build combined with these attachments can help the players take on long-range enemies easily.

The build mostly focuses on increasing the rate of fire and mobility while taking care of the reload time. These stats are perfect for players with good movement and close-quarter combat skills. Along with the huge magazine size of the gun, an increased reload time combined with the perfect movement skills can cause a huge problem for your enemies during combat.

Players that are experienced with factions such as Echelon or Libertad would benefit greatly from this build's versatility in range and greater mobility. With the Muzzle Booster and the Rapid Fire barrel, the rate of fire increased significantly from 887 to 825 RPM, for a total of 62 RPM. Furthermore, the Fast Mag cuts the reload time by more than a second, down to 1.7 seconds from 2.8 seconds. This combo may be handy for knocking down multiple enemies simultaneously and avoiding being caught off guard while reloading your ammunition.

While there is a slight increase in the Sprint Out Time and the ADS Speed Reduction, they will have little effect during gunfights because SMGs have a quicker Sprint Out Time and ADS speed by default. Furthermore, with a 2% improvement in ADS stability and a 4-degree spread in hip-fire rounds, this P90 is capable of performing reliably at all range.
