Summary
Xdefiantfeatures many factions with different niches, giving players the opportunity to choose from several different playstyles. The Libertad are great healers, the Echelon make great ambushers, and the Cleaners will suppress an area using fire. However, when it comes to being a tanky player, the Phantoms have them all beat.
The Phantom faction’s passive makes them harder to take down, and their abilities provide them with different ways of mitigating damage. Lastly, their ultimate gives them a mobile shield that can let them push back any enemies that stand in their way. Paired with the right Loadout, they can be a truly fearsome faction in a one-on-one exchange. Here are the best loadouts to equip the Phantom faction with.
4Best Sniper Rifle Loadout For Phantoms
Hunkered Down Sniping Nest
For this loadout, players will want to go with theMag BarrierAbility. Players will run to their sniping nest of choice on the map and throw out their barrier before moving into prime position. The Mag Barrier’s ability lets its user and their allies shoot through it while protecting them from any bullets and grenades. This lets them take shots at opposing players while remaining completely protected.
When it comes to weapons, use theTac-50with attachments focusing on Firepower and Accuracy.The best sidearm for the job will be the93R, as it will give players an aggressive close-range option while making their way to where they plan on sniping from. TheProximity Mineshould be players’ device of choice to place a trap for any enemies looking to make their way to the player while they snipe.
3Best Marksman Loadout For Phantoms
Suppressing the Enemy Line
The Marksman weapon will let players fight at a closer range than with a sniper rifle, but will also give them placementcloser to their allies. This allows them to throw out aMag Barrierin front of allies on the frontline, which can allow an entire squad to push the offensive. Between the two that are available, theSVDis the superior choice thanks to its higher Firepower and Accuracy. Players should also use attachments to raise these stats even higher.
Just like with sniper rifles, players will want to use the93Rfor its superior close-range when an enemy tries to get up in their face. Once that situation is taken care of, they can then return to using their Marksman. A good device will be theFlashbang Grenade, which can impede the vision of enemies targeting the player or their allies. This makes Marksman weapons alsogreat for medicsto cover their teammates.
2Best SMG Loadout For Phantoms
Pushing The Objective
The submachine gun (SMG) is the most aggressive option when it comes to weapons, which is why it is a popular choice amongEchelon Loadouts. As such, theBlitz Shieldwill allow players to charge in and get closer to the enemy side. If players choose to use the Mag Barrier instead, it can be a good idea to throw it so that other allies can use it while the player charges from the side to flank enemies. TheMP7will be the best SMG players can get their hands on, and they should focus on attachments to raise Mobility, Ammo, and Firepower to be as aggressive as possible.
TheD50is an equally good choice for a side arm, since it will give more versatility over the93R.Meanwhile, the 93R will let players keep using the same playstyle as their SMG. High mobility means a high chance to rush down opponents, so throwing out aFlashbang Grenadecan blind them before the player makes it around a corner. Players just need to make sure they don’t look at the flash and get blinded too.
1Best Assault Rifle Loadout For Phantoms
Never At A Disadvantage
This is hands-down the most versatile weapon choice in the game. Having anAssault Riflemeans players can shine at both mid-range and close-range alike. Players can rush down an enemy in tight corridors, and sit on the point to take down enemies at both ranged distance and those who get close to them. They can provide suppressive fire for another ally on escort duty, and plenty more.The best Assault Rifleto cover all of these roles is theACR 6.8, which playerswill need to unlock first.
Once players run out of ammo with their main weapon, theD50should be their choice of sidearm. This will allow them to keep their playstyle consistent. The best device to use with this loadout is the trustedFrag Grenade, which can flush enemies out of any hiding spot and into open fire. Players should focus on attachments to raise their Firepower and Accuracy to improve consistency in their performance with the weapon. This will helpbuild this gun to its peak performance.
