The MP5 in XDefiant is a close-quarters king. With its controllable recoil and solid damage output, it’s a weapon favored by aggressive players who love to be mobile around the map and play in tight spaces.
But to truly dominate those corridors and claim points, you’ll need the perfect loadout. Here’s a guide to help you with the best MP5 loadout in XDefiant.
Best MP5 loadout in XDefiant — full MP5A2 attachments
This build prioritizes mobility and control. You’ll be able to zip around corners, take enemies by surprise, and lay down accurate fire thanks to the reduced recoil.
| SLOT | ATTACHMENT |
| Muzzle | Light Suppressor |
| Rear Grip | Grip Tape |
| Front Rail | Handstop |
| Optic | Reflex |
| Magazine | Extended Mag |
The Light Suppressor muzzle attachment takes very little away from the MP5 gun but provides solid stealth. We are skipping the barrel attachment entirely because it does more harm than good to MP5A2 in our opinion.
For the front rail, we will use the Handstop attachment which improves the ADS stability and vertical recoil. The Reflex optics are best for your quick and mobile plays.
The MP5 requires an extended magazine to fully function as an unstoppable gun in those long-drawn fights.
Last but not least, the Grip Tape attachment for the rear grip slot is an excellent choice. It offers 15% recoil recovery and 5% vertical recoil control.
Secondary weapon: You can use the 93R with a heavy grip and light suppressor as your secondary weapon.
This loadout will help you hunt enemies and be extremely active on the map. Utilize grenades and abilities to flush out enemies from cover and create opportunities for close-quarter engagements.
You can also flank the opponents and get behind their backs for surprise takedowns.
The possibilities with the best MP5A2 loadout in XDefiant are endless.
