XDefiant: Best P90 loadout, attachments, and faction

One of the best SMGs in the game.

If you fancy getting up close and personal with your opponents in XDefiant, then the P90 SMG could be the weapon for you. That’s why we’ve put together the best loadout and attachments to give you an advantage over your opponents.

Of course, no loadout we can give you will automatically make you a good player, but it can help you hit your shots and deal the most damage possible. With XDefiant‘s faction system, there’s no need to worry about Lethals or Tacticals like there are in Call of Duty, making the process a lot easier.

Best XDefiant P90 attachments

  • Muzzle: Barrel Extender
  • Barrel: Lightweight
  • Front Rail: Tactical
  • Rear Grip: Fabric
  • Stock: Padded

The P90 is designed for players who like to run at enemies and get into close-quarters combat, which is why we’ve chosen the Barrel Extender Muzzle specifically, which decreases your sprint-to-fire time. The Lightweight Barrel is also perfect for this playstyle, as it increases your ADS and movement speed.

The Tactical Front Rail has a huge impact on recoil recovery, which helps make the gun easier to control, while the Padded Stock also helps in that regard. Finally, the Fabric Rear Grip boosts your ADS speed and stability, which is nice to have too.

Best XDefiant faction to use with the P90

Generally, this will come down to your personal preference, but I would suggest the Echelon faction, as the Low Profile and Digital Ghillie Suit can help you close distance to enemies by becoming difficult to see. The Sonar Goggles are also very useful to find the locations of enemy players.

Another option is running Libertad with the BioVida Boost, which boosts your health when used. This can be useful as SMG players are often in a lot of gunfights, and a little bit of healing is always helpful.

How to unlock the P90 in XDefiant

To unlock the P90 in XDefiant, you’ll need to get 10 hip-fire kills with SMGs to complete the required challenge.

XDefiant P90 alternatives

If you’re not enjoying the P90 and want to try something else, I would suggest trying out the MP7, which is another solid SMG. If you fancy taking on gunfights at a longer distance, then the M4A1 is the gun for you.
