Unlock All-New Weapons in XDefiant Season 2: A Complete Guide

The developers of XDefiant have rolled out three new weapons in the Season 2 update. The latest additions include an SMG (PP19 Bizon), an LMG (L86 LSW), and a shotgun (SPAS 12). While both the L86 and PP19 emphasize precision and damage, the SPAS 12 semi-automatic shotgun is set to become the meta for shotgun users.

In line with previous seasons of the game, unlocking these weapons involves a series of straightforward steps. Once you unlock them, you can utilize them to excel in both ranked and unranked XDefiant lobbies. This article will guide you on how to unlock these newly introduced weapons in XDefiant Season 2.

Unfortunately, unlike the previous XDefiant Season 1 Battle Pass, you cannot immediately access these weapons. However, you can still unlock and incorporate these impressive weapons into your loadout for free by progressing through the Season 2 Battle Pass to specific levels.

Here’s a detailed breakdown of how to unlock these weapons at no cost:

PP19 Bizon: Grind up to Level 20 of the XDefiant Season 2 Battle Pass to unlock this SMG.
SPAS 12: Reach Level 50 of the Season 2 Battle Pass to gain access to this powerful shotgun.
L86 LSW: Get to Level 80 of the Season 2 Battle Pass to unlock this LMG.

Once you’ve unlocked these brand-new weapons, review the details below before diving into the online lobbies:

PP19 Bizon

According to Ubisoft, the newly introduced SMG focuses more on damage and precision rather than mobility and firing rate. It boasts a large magazine size, low recoil, and superior range compared to others in its category.

SPAS 12

The SPAS 12 is anticipated to set the new meta for shotgun-focused players. The developers describe it as a hybrid between the AA-12 and M870 shotguns, both of which are highly lethal and effective at close range.

L86 LSW

In addition to the other two weapons, the inclusion of the L86 LMG may be this season’s standout feature. Situated between Assault Rifles and LMGs, the L86 offers the fastest TTK (time-to-kill) within 30-45 meters compared to any other weapons in its class. According to the developers, it is tailored for player mobility but doesn’t deliver the damage output of a standard LMG.
