The AK-47 has an incredibly high damage potential in XDefiant, though the base weapon's harder-to-handle recoil typically encourages beginners to opt for a weapon that's easier to control.

The game itself calls the AK-47 a "challenging weapon to use", combining "best-in-class damage with a slow rate of fire and relatively poor handling". But it's worth the effort, and if you can soldier through the weapon tiers and equip this attachment kit to the AK-47, you can turn XDefiant's most uncontrollable weapon into its deadliest.
The AK-47 is one of the two standard assault rifles, alongside the M4A1; it does not need to be unlocked through a basic challenge. This is the optimal attachment build for the AK-47 in XDefiant.
Recoil and fire stability improvements are the primary focus of this build. ADS stability, ADS flicker control, and recoil control all need to be improved with attachments to make the AK-47 reliable. Once you improve the weapon with these attachments, its superior damage output really starts to shine.
