Double Shotgun loadout becomes meta with "deadly" TTK in XDefiant Season 1

Double Shotgun loadouts have become meta in XDefiant Season 1. With unparalleled TTK (time-to-kill) in the current Season, shotguns have come a long way indeed. Initially considered to be the worst weapon segment in the entire game, Shotguns undoubtedly rule the current meta in XDefiant. Players have largely resorted to opting for a double-shotgun loadout since its "deadly" TTK can absolutely wreck enemy forces.

This article will primarily focus on the best Double Shotgun loadout in XDefiant Season 1. If you want to try out this meta build, read below.

Best Double Shotgun loadout attachment for XDefiant Season 1

Our choice of weapons for this build is the Double Barrel Shotgun and the Sawed-Off Shotgun. Both these weapons are extremely powerful and have different use cases. The Double Barrel is more suited for close-medium range encounters, while the Sawed-Off will act more as a backup for close-quarter combat, and in certain moments, as the finisher weapon in XDefiant Season 1.

Here are our recommended loadouts for the same:

Double Barrel loadout

• Barrel: Choke
• Rear Grip: Quick-Draw Grip
• Stock: Lightweight Stock

The Double Barrel will be your primary weapon in the Double Shotgun loadout for XDefiant Season 1. This meta-tier shotgun can deal up to 180 damage in its effective range of 0-22 meters. Furthermore, with our added Choke, it can deal as much as 80 damage up to a total of 40 meters.

Pair it with the Quick-Draw Grip and the Lightweight Stock for enhanced movement speed, ADS (aim-down-sight) speed, and sprint-to-fire speed. This will allow you to stay nimble and be a constant hindrance on the enemy's back lines.

Sawed-Off loadout

• Rear Grip: Lightweight Grip

The Sawed-Off will be your backup in the Double Shotgun loadout. This weapon can absolutely demolish anyone in close range but it loses its efficacy beyond a certain range. Use the Lightweight Grip for improved movement and handling speeds.

In our opinion, you should use this weapon to either secure kills against enemies that you've already dealt damage to or use it as a backup when you run out of ammo for the Double-Barrel.
