If you’re interested in getting Sawed-Off Shotgun in XDefiant, you’ll need to progress through the Battle Pass. This is because instead of completing a certain challenge, you have to gain Battle Pass points and reach the tier that rewards you with this secondary weapon.

The XDefiant Season 1 Battle Pass features a total of 90 tiers, and the weapon will get unlocked after you reach the 80th tier. That’s right, while the weapon may be free, it isn’t easy to unlock.

Progressing through the Battle Pass requires points, which can be earned through different methods. The quickest way to get them is by playing matches across different game modes, especially Escort.

Another way to get tons of Battle Pass points is by completing Daily Challenges. These refresh daily, so you’ll have to do something different every day.

Each challenge will require you to do a specific task, such as getting a specific number of kills using a certain weapon.

Once you hit level 80 on the Battle Pass, the Sawed-Off Shotgun will get unlocked. This secondary weapon is deadly as it can help you annihilate your enemy in close-range combat. 

However, it isn’t as powerful as primary weapons in the game, but it should help you out after your primary weapon is out of ammo. 

This concludes our guide on how to unlock Sawed-Off Shotgun in XDefiant.
