How to progress quickly in XDefiant

Ranking in XDefiant can sometimes feel like it takes days. With 24 weapons to max out and 100 levels for each one, it can feel extremely tedious at times. However, we have some tips to help you level up quickly, upgrade your weapons faster than ever, and even improve your battle pass.

XDefiant is similar to other first-person shooter games, therefore, most of the same leveling tricks work as in Call of Duty or Overwatch.

Complete challenges

Completing challenges is one of the best ways to progress quickly in XDefiant. Challenges sometimes go unnoticed, but they reward a ton of XP and can greatly help speed up the leveling process.

Every day new challenges are released in XDefiant, you should try to complete them as soon as you get started to start your day off right. Second, there are plenty of basic challenges that can yield over 10,000 XP, and even factions have challenges, so be sure to check them regularly.

Play Objective game modes

Objective-based game modes are great if you want to progress quickly in XDefiant. Indeed, objective game modes offer more ways to earn XP than traditional game modes based on team versus team eliminations.

Escort is by far the best game mode to quickly level up in XDefiant because if you play the objective well you will gain XP almost every second. After that, Zone Control and Occupy are great options for gaining maximum XP. Collecting kills while you're in the objective is your best bet, as not only will you gain XP from kills, but you'll also gain additional XP from attacking or defending an objective.

Use XP Boosts

XP boosts are probably the best way to earn XP quickly in XDefiant. XP boosts will double your XP gain at the end of each match, so if you abandon a 35 kill game, with an XP boost you will receive the XP of a massive 70 kill game. They can also increase your Battle Pass XP gain! However, they are limited so you will not be able to constantly have a Boost active.

Double XP Weekends

As this is the first launch weekend for XDefiant, there is an active Double Weapon XP weekend. This is active until 10:00 AM PT on Tuesday, May 28, so be sure to take advantage and participate this weekend.
