The STG44 is the best weapon in Warzone right now

STG is the new king!

With every new seasonal update, some new guns are added to the weapon pool in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone. Season 5 saw the introduction of the iconic STG44 Assault Rifle, which is certainly amongst the best weapons in the game right now.

For a long time, Light Machine Guns (LMGs) have been a preferred long-range weapon choice for many players because of their fast time-to-kill (TTK) stats and easy controllability. If you've been looking for a strong Assault Rifle to use in Warzone that can compete with the LMGs and has better mobility, you must give the STG44 a try.

Unlockable via Sector 7 of the Season 5 Battle Pass, the STG44 is a high-damage, fast TTK, and easy-to-control AR. The weapon has 21 levels and you can rank it up to unlock the viable attachments quite easily via MW3 Multiplayer or Warzone's Plunder game mode.

Several CoD content creators, including Zlaner, Swagg, and Metaphor, are calling the STG overpowered and broken. As mentioned previously, the gun kills very fast at close-mid ranges and the bullet velocity is also high, so it feels great to use as you hit your targets very accurately. Having said that, the STG44 has a damage drop-off which makes it less effective at extremely longer ranges.

Although you can try out different attachment combinations and see what works best for you, I suggest using the STG44 build shared by JGOD (detailed below); it has the best attachments you can use on the STG44 AR in Warzone (pair it with an SMG or the Kar98k Sniper Rifle).

  • Muzzle: Quartermaster Suppressor
  • Barrel: WEHR 792 Barrel
  • Optic: Corio Eagleseye 2.5x
  • Underbarrel: Paracoro Grip
  • Magazine: 50 Round Drum
