The goal of this loadout is to improve the M16A4's rate of fire. Being a burst weapon, getting those three shots off as quickly as possible will allow you to secure eliminations faster than other players.

The Compensator will reduce your vertical recoil by quite a high margin. It will lower your firing error, allowing you to shoot an extremely accurate burst of fire at the enemy. The attachment does have the drawback of increased aim-down-sight time, which we believe is negligible in contrast to the benefits it provides.

Secondly, the Rapid Fire barrel is an essential upgrade that we believe will help you achieve a very low TTK on this weapon. Pair it with the Superlight Grip and the Quick Draw Grip to get access to fantastic mobility and ADS speed in the game. This loadout will keep you agile and accurate, two of the best traits to carry around on the XDefiant battlefield.
