To build the best SMG loadout in XDefiant with MP7, players are recommended to use the following attachments:

• Muzzle: Barrel Extender
• Barrel: Chrome Lined
• Front Rail: PEQ-15 Laser
• Magazine: Extended Mag
• Rear Grip: Leather Wrapped

Here's how these attachments affect the SMG:

The Barrel Extender increases the damage range of the weapon, especially at mid and close ranges. This is essential for the MP7 as it helps the weapon perform better in those situations, resulting in faster kill times.

The Chrome Lined Barrel also improves the damage range of the weapon, further lowering the time to kill at close and medium ranges.

The PEQ-15 Laser makes the weapon more accurate by reducing the spread. As a result, more bullets will hit your target, killing them quickly.

Extended Mag is essential for this MP7 loadout in XDefiant. Having more bullets per magazine ensures that you don't end up reloading in the middle of a gunfight.

Finally, the Leather Wrapped Rear Grip boosts the aim walking speed. This helps you strafe quicker and makes you a difficult target to hit during 1v1 gunfights.
