Best Warzone STG44 loadout
ActivisionThe iconic STG44 has arrived as one of the new guns in Warzone Season 5, and it boasts impressive stats and performance. If you’re looking to take advantage of the weapon, we’ve got you covered with the best loadout for AR.
With a strong damage range and bullet velocity, it’s propelled straight to the top of the Assault Rifle meta, making it a must-unlock in the new season.
Here are the attachments, Perks, and Equipment you need to create the best STG44 loadout in Warzone.
Best Warzone STG44 loadout attachments
- Muzzle: Quartermaster Suppressor
- Barrel: Heinrichter C70 Long Barrel
- Ammunition: 7.92x33mm High Grain Rounds
- Stock: DR79 Combo Stock
- Magazine: 50 Round Drum
The STG has become an instant hit upon its Season 5 introduction, especially with our loadout that focuses on bullet velocity, range, and control for long-distance gunfights.
First, we have the Quartermaster Suppressor, a new suppressor that improves gun kick and recoil control, making the STG a beast from range. This attachment is an Armory Unlock, so you’ll need to activate it and complete eight Daily Challenges or get wins to earn it. If you don’t have it yet, the Casus Brake is a good alternative.
Both the Heinrichter C70 Long Barrel and 7.92x33mm High Grain Rounds help a ton with bullet velocity and damage range, making the STG even better at distance. I found this attachment combo vital as it improves the AR’s hitscan range immensely to make it even more efficient.
To help recoil control even more and provide some firing aim stability, you’ll want the DR79 Combo Stock. Lastly, since you’ll be using the weapon a lot from range, the 50 Round Drum is essential, as it allows you to continue firing to take out your target even if you miss a few shots.
Best Perks & Equipment for STG44 loadout
- Perk 1: Double Time
- Perk 2: Mountaineer
- Perk 3: Tempered
- Perk 4: High Alert
- Lethal Equipment: Frag Grenade
- Tactical Equipment: Smoke Grenade
The best STG loadout needs some quality Perks too. That’s why we’ve gone with Double Time for some faster mobility and Mountaineer, which allows you to drop down from height when you need to without worrying about taking damage.
Next, Tempered is essentially for me, and the ability to get to full shields through two Armor Plates as opposed to three saves you so much time. Lastly, High Alert lets you know when you’ve been spotted, which is always helpful.
As for Equipment, you’ll want to opt for a Frag Grenade to cook and take enemies out who are in dominant positions, while also running a Smoke Grenade to save you when there’s no cover.
How to unlock STG44 in Warzone
To unlock the STG44 in Warzone you’ll need to reach and complete Sector 7 of the Season 5 Battle Pass.
It’s a free reward, so you won’t need the premium Battle Pass offering to earn the new weapon, but you will need to grind out about 20 Tokens from the start to unlock the Assault Rifle.
Best alternatives
The STG44 is a long-range AR with little recoil, so a great alternative pick is the MCW. If you want something a little more tailored to the mid-range, the MTZ-556 should do you well after receiving buffs in the Season 5 update.
To get the most out of the loadout, you’ll also want the best controller and audio settings, or if you’re on PC, the best settings for graphics.
