In a first-person shooter like XDefiant, you can’t always rely on great aim to win gunfights by yourself. You need to use all the tools at your disposal, from positioning and movement to grenades like the classic Flashbang, for your best chance at victory.

Flashbangs are a great tool to confuse your opponents by temporarily blinding them, while also emitting a loud noise to quickly distract them while you reposition yourself in the middle of a fight. You can also use a Flashbang to initiate a fight, blinding enemies before rushing forward and taking advantage of their unfortunate circumstances.

In XDefiant, however, the grenade isn’t available for custom loadouts at the start of the game. Instead, you’ll need to unlock the tool by completing a specific in-game task, which takes some time to grind.

Here's how to unlock Flashbang in XDefiant.
