XDefiant: How to Unlock the 686 Magnum

The 686 Magnum in XDefiant is full of stopping power, but you need to finish its challenge to get it. Fortunately, we have your back on how.

Players in XDefiant start out with just a small variety of weapons to use. However, if they wish to expand their arsenal, they must complete challenges, such as for the TAC-50. Luckily, not every weapon requires it, and some challenges are even really straightforward. Of course, even with the tricker ones, it still beats having to buy it with real money. Of course, the 686 Magnum, a powerful revolver, is fairly difficult to get. However, we have the details below that will help you unlock the 686 Magnum in XDefiant so you can deliver high-caliber justice to your enemies.

How to Unlock the 686 Magnum in XDefiant

To unlock the 686 Magnum in XDefiant, players must earn 5 Quick-Swap kills. Quick-Swap Kills are where players swap their current weapon to their other weapon very fast and kill an enemy with that weapon. Say you have the M4A1 and the M9 pistol; if you have the M4A1 equipped and quickly change to the M9 and kill your opponent, that counts as a Quick-Swap kill.

Five of these are needed for the 686 Magnum challenge to be complete, and no specific mode is going to make this challenge easier or harder. It is recommended, however, to have a lighter weapon such as an SMG as your Primary. By doing so, you can swap faster as well as move faster around the map. When it comes to your Secondary Weapon, equipping the 93R is going to help you a lot. The weapon deals great damage and shoots in burst fire, which shreds your enemies. If you want the extra assurance to get the kills, use the Digital Ghillie Suit for the Echelon Faction and flank your enemies, then Quick-Swap and get the kill.
