XDefiant’s MDR assault rifle is available as part of the pre-season Battle Pass, here’s how to unlock the weapon in-game.
The arsenal in XDefiant is jam-packed withtop-tier weapons, ranging from assault rifles and handguns to SMGs and shotguns.
Notably, thearena shooter’s MDRcounts as one gun that packs a punch at close range and can benefit players who like picking off targets at a distance.
Unlocking it requires a bit of grinding in online matches, but its availability in the pre-season Battle Pass means all players can eventually add it to their loadouts.
How to get the MDR in XDefiant’s Battle Pass
XDefiant launched with a six-week Battle Pass comprising 90 different tiers. Some tiers will only unlock rewards for those who spend real money; however, the pass also featuresfree rewards like the MDR assault rifle.
To unlock this particular gun, players mustreach Level 10 of the pre-season Battle Pass.
After unlocking the fast-firing MDR on the Battle Pass page, it will automatically appear in your inventory.
The pre-season started on Tuesday, May 21, meaning its six-week Battle Pass should end on Tuesday, July 2. It’s unclear if MDR will reappear in the Season 1 Battle Pass once it goes live.
XDefiant players who aren’t interested in the MDR have plenty ofother assault riflesat their disposal. For instance, the ACR 6.8 is a solid choice given its minimal recoil and impressive damage output.
Additionally, the M4A1 works wonders for a default weapon, thanks in no small part to its incredible range on the battlefield.
And even more weapons are on the way. Ubisoft previously confirmedSeason 1 will introduce three new guns, alongside a new Faction, three maps, and another 90-tier Battle Pass.
