XDefiant’s fast-paced gameplay allows players who enjoy quick-scoping to use snipers like the M44 to counter assault rifles and SMGs by landing a single crucial shot. The same cannot be said for some of the other snipers in the game, which usually require a direct headshot. That’s why there’s no point in taking the risk when, with the right M44 class build and loadout, you can eliminate enemies with a single shot to the head and body.
