XDefiantoffers six distinct weapons in the Assault Rifle category. While all of these rifles are strong rivals for the finest in the game, the MDR, along with theACR 6.8andAK-47, is widely regarded as a powerful weapon.
Although classified as an assault rifle, the MDR’s low damage range and fast rate of fire make it more of an SMG-AR hybrid. It has a higher recoil than other weapons in its class, but with the right attachments, it may be one of the best weapons at all ranges.
Early Game MDR Loadout
Here are the best attachments to use for early-game MDR builds.
All of the attachments used in this MDR build can be obtained early in the weapon’s stage, making it the optimal loadout forall factionsto use while the gun is still at a lower level. Although the early unlocks are not as beneficial as the advanced-level attachments, they can nevertheless give some modest benefits during a battle, such as enhancing ADS stability and improving the rifle’s accuracy.
The first attachment is the Recon barrel and the Superlight front rail, which lower the ADS Speed Reduction by30 ms, to 270 ms from 300 ms. Although this shift may appear small, it can allow players to shoot faster than before when measured in milliseconds.
Furthermore, the Heavy Grip reduces vertical recoil from50 to 48%. This minor adjustment to the recoil control might help you hit a more precise shot. It is also an essential change because the MDR has significantly higher recoil and lesser accuracy thancomparable assault rifles.
The last attachment to this loadout is the Padded stock, which boostsADS stability by 1%and makes ADS aim easier. Finally, we have the Reflex Optic, which is meant to simplify aiming better since many players may find MDR’s iron sight difficult to aim with.
Best Balanced MDR Loadout
The best attachments for a balanced MDR build are:
This balanced MDR loadout focuses on improving the MDR’s firepower, mobility, and ammunition management, which are likely three of its major flaws in base stats. MDR has less firepower than the other ARs, resulting in less damage and range. This build can assist in boosting these damage ranges, allowing players to win fights at practically any range inall game modes. Furthermore, given its high fire rate and short magazine capacity, ammo management and reload time may be problematic for many players, which has been addressed with this loadout.
The first attachment is the Chrome-Lined barrel, which increases the damage and allows the gun to do17 damage up to 28 meters, 16 damage up to 42 meters, and 14 damage to targets beyond 42 meters. For clarity and comparison, the gun’s basic stats were 17 damage up to 23 meters and 16 damage up to 35 meters. So, the increased range provided by this barrel is noticeable and will significantly impact the game while engaging in mid- or long-range gunfights.
The Small Vertical front rail and Lightweight stock are additions that improve the ADS movement speed from1 m/s to 1.3 m/s. This little boost in movement can significantly improve mobility with this weapon, allowing players to move swiftly and perform various movement mechanics.
Next, we have the Fabric grip, which, when paired with the Small Vertical front rail, primarily serves to reduce the gun’s ADS speed reduction, which would otherwise have been considerably greater owing to the Chrome-lined barrel. The last attachment to this configuration is the Quick Mag, which raises themagazine size to 35and reduces the reload time by0.3s, bringing it down to 1.8s from the previous 2.1s.
Best Close-Range MDR Loadout
These are the attachments you should use for the best close-range MDR build:
Today’s final loadout seeks to make the MDR operate more likean SMG, leveraging its hybrid style and attachments to help players win more close-range duels. This build drastically boosts the rate of fire, allowing players to take down enemies faster. To compensate for the increased firing rate, the build increases magazine size and lowers reload speed.
The Rapid Fire barrel is the first and most important attachment for making this weapon function like an SMG, increasing the Rate of Fire by a massive38 RPMto 803 from 765 RPM. This significant boost in firing rate makes the gun shoot faster, helping players win close-range gunfights. Although this attachmentreduces recoil control by 10%, it will make little difference because the gun is best suited for close-range gunfights, where improved weapon handling is more important than recoil reduction.
To improve weapon handling, the Superlight front rail and Quick Draw rear grip combined to reduce theADS Speed Reduction to 270.0 ms, making it 30 ms quicker than the standard version. The Quick Draw grip reduces the Sprint Out Time to 225 ms,down 25 msfrom the previous 250 ms. This decrease in time will allow players to aim quicker after sprinting, allowing them to react to enemies and take them down more quickly. The last attachment is the Lightweight stock, which enhances weapon mobility andincreases ADS movement speed by 0.2 m/s.
