XDefiant Guides – Best M4A1 Build

When it comes to first-person shooters like XDefiant, players often seek the best assault rifle builds, and the M4A1 is a go-to choice. This iconic rifle is a staple in FPS games, so much so that even when games create their own unique weapons, they often draw inspiration from the M4A1’s design and capabilities.

Given these factors, it’s no surprise that the M4A1 is a fan favorite, thanks to its ease of use. However, while the M4A1 is user-friendly, it can become a powerhouse with the right attachments. It’ll all depend on the attachments that players will add to the weapon.

With that being said, here’s the best M4A1 build in XDefiant.

Best M4A1 Build in XDefiant

The M4A1 is one of the starting guns players will have access to in XDefiant. It’s a good entry point for newer players as they learn the ropes of playing a fast-paced first-person shooter. Typically, more experienced players see starting guns as inferior weapons compared to the more difficult-to-use guns. But considering how players have access to a plethora of attachments to upgrade their weapons, this newbie gun might become one’s worst nightmare.

Players need to consistently use the M4A1 to earn weapon XP. As they level up the gun, they’ll unlock a variety of attachments that enhance its base stats.

Assuming that players have already unlocked every attachment for the M4A1, they can start mixing and matching them to see what style suits them best. It’s worth noting that compared to the other assault rifles in the game, the M4 deals a bit less damage. However, it’s still efficient to use considering how it has the least recoil among all other rifles. We recommend that players focus more on increasing the gun’s firepower and ammo capacity to effectively spray bullets on opponents.

With that said, here’s the full list of the best weapon attachments for the M4A1:

Why this is the Best M4A1 Build

As mentioned earlier, the M4A1 lacks a bit of firepower. This particular build increases its power to the max which will turn it into a gun capable of hanging with the so-called big boys. Its accuracy is also at its max while the ammo capacity is significantly boosted. The only downside to this build is that it has lesser mobility compared to its base stats. While that may seem like a downside to some, this customized rifle is specifically for players who prefer spraying from mid to long-range distances.

Alternatives

If players are looking for a more balanced build for the M4A1, they can refer to our build and replace the rear grip with a Leather-Wrapped Grip. Doing so will increase the gun’s mobility by a bit while maintaining its base accuracy stats. If you’re going to ask us, accuracy is more important when it comes to shooting games. However, we can’t discount the fact that there are players who prefer using the run-and-gun playstyle.
