In XDefiant, Loadouts encompasses all customization available to one's equipment, such as devices and weapons with their equipped attachments and skins.
Overview
Loadouts have two dimensions to their use:
- Weapons - the actual weapon equipped and their attachments and skins.
- Devices - throwable and deployable items distinct from class-specific abilities on the battlefield.
In Unranked playlists, the player only has access to weapons, attachments and devices they have unlocked through challenges, weapon levels, or the Battle Pass. In Ranked playlists, the player has access to all weapons and attachments and the ability to choose up to 10 items, however using a weapon the player has not unlocked does not earn weapon XP.
Six loadouts are available for use by default to all players.
Preset Loadouts
Patch Notes
September 25th, 2024 Patch
- Updated the six Preset loadouts in the Loadout menu so they offer full sets of attachments for the primary and secondary weapons, along with devices that complement the primary weapon in each Preset. The goal of these new loadouts is to offer attachments that support each weapon's strengths while also letting players experience a variety of attachments and devices.
- Season 2 also debuts Ranked Loadouts, a new loadout category with 10 slots. Ranked Loadouts allow players to create custom loadouts from all launch weapons, attachments, and devices in Ranked play even if they haven't unlocked them. The tradeoff is that if a player selects a weapon for their loadout that they have not yet unlocked, they will receive no XP progression on that weapon. (Owned weapons will progress normally.) This system doesn't apply to skins, faction characters, or any post-launch weapons/attachments/devices that players have not unlocked.
