How to unlock all-new weapons in XDefiant Season 2

The developers of XDefiant have introduced three new weapons with the Season 2 update. The weapons include one SMG (PP19 Bizon), an LMG (L86 LSW), and a shotgun (SPAS 12). While the L86 and PP19 are aimed towards precision and damage, the SPAS 12 semi-automatic shotgun appears to be the meta for shotgun exploiters.

Similar to previous seasons of the title, there are a few straightforward steps to unlock these weapons. Upon doing so, you can use them to dominate ranked and unranked XDefiant lobbies. Keeping that in mind, this article explains how to unlock these newly introduced weapons in XDefiant Season 2.

Process of unlocking brand-new weapons in XDefiant Season 2

Following previous trends, the game's developers have once again introduced three new weapons. As mentioned, these are a PP19 Bizon SMG, an L86 LSW LMG, and a SPAS 12 Shotgun.

Unfortunately, you cannot gain instant access to these weapons like with the XDefiant Season 1 Battle Pass. On the flip side, however, you can unlock and add these spectacular weapons to your loadout without spending a single penny by grinding the Season 2 Battle Pass to certain levels.

Here’s a detailed overview of how to unlock these weapons for free:

• PP19 Bizon: You must grind till Level 20 of the XDefiant Season 2 Battle Pass to unlock this SMG.
• SPAS 12: You must reach Level 50 of the Season 2 Battle Pass to unlock the lethal shotgun for your inventory.
• L86 LSW: You must get to Level 80 of the Season 2 Battle Pass to unlock the LMG weapon.

After unlocking the brand-new weapons, you can go through the information below before heading to the online lobbies:

PP 19 Bizon

According to Ubisoft, the newly introduced SMG is more focused on Damage and Precision rather than movement and rate of fire. It has a large magazine, low recoil, and better range compared to other weapons in its segment.

SPAS 12

As discussed, the SPAS 12 might be the new meta for shotgun exploiters. According to the developers, it’s a mix of both the AA-12 and M870 shotgun. For context, both are fairly lethal and effective at close range.

L86 LSW

Apart from the two weapons, the addition of the L86 LMG might be this season’s highlight. Placed between the AR and LMG weapon classes, the L86 has the fastest TTK (time-to-kill) within 30-45 meters than any other weapons in the LMG segment. According to the developers, it is more focused on players’ movements but lacks in dealing proper damage like a traditional LMG.
