XDefiant players are calling this weapon accessory “terrible.”

Creating your equipment in a shooter is a very personal experience. While many look to content creators and publications to find out what the best and worst weapons and items are in a game, this doesn't guarantee that you will or won't like them. XDefiant is no different and offers many different weapons and add-ons to make a weapon work for you. But many players are not fans of the choice of optics in the game.

U/-ZhongKui took to Reddit to discuss the Iron Sights/Optics weapon add-on, calling them “terrible.” Many players agreed with this, including u/NupeKeem who said, “I agree 1000% with this. Honestly, I'm having trouble seeing the red dots in the game. I've been playing around with my display settings to find the ideal setting. Not too dark but not too bright and great for all the games I play.

U/EnergeticSloth55 recommended the Reflex Sight, which could be a great option for those struggling to find the perfect optic, saying, “I use the MP7 and P90 Iron Sights. Everything else gets a reflex.

Finding out what works for you is key and many players will enjoy using the default Iron Sight and others that use optics such as Holo and Scopes. With dozens of weapons to choose from across multiple types, it's best to experiment with each weapon as you unlock them and see what works for you. For example, just because a player can defeat every enemy they encounter with the P90 doesn't mean you will have the same success and better results with a different weapon. To help you find the right path for you, we highly recommend checking out our XDefiant beginner tips and tricks guide, as well as our list of the best weapons in the game.
