The STG 44 is a brand-new assault rifle added in Warzone with the release of the Season 5 update. Although the mid-season patch has brought a nerf to this gun, it remains a top-tier meta assault rifle in Season 5 Reloaded. Featuring a very low recoil feedback, alongside a devastating damage output, this gun is best suited for mid-to-long-range engagements.
Long-range battles are common in Warzone, and an assault rifle with these attributes will yield positive outcomes. This article will provide the best loadout for STG 44 in Warzone Season 5 Reloaded so that you can have the optimal build for it.
Best Warzone STG 44 loadout in Season 5 Reloaded
The best STG 44 loadout in Warzone Season 5 Reloaded is as follows:
- Muzzle: Quartermaster Suppressor
- Barrel: Heinrichter C70 Long barrel
- Stock: DR79 Combo Stock
- Ammunition: 7.92x33mm High Grain
- Magazine: 50 Round Drum
The Quartermaster Suppressor muzzle is a new attachment that is currently one of the best options available. It offers superior gun-kick and recoil control, making the STG 44 very stable even during long-range combat. To unlock this attachment, you need to complete eight Daily Challenges. Until then, you can use the Casus Brake muzzle attachment.
The Heinrichter C70 Long barrel is essential for this build, as it increases bullet velocity by 21% and extends the damage range. This makes it perfect for long-range engagements. The 7.92x33mm High Grain ammunition further enhances bullet velocity and damage range, though it slightly increases recoil.
The DR79 Combo Stock is used for counteracting the negative effects of High Gain ammunition, providing better recoil and gun-kick control.
Finally, the 50-Round Drum magazine is useful for lengthy battles, as you can keep firing and taking down enemies without needing to reload often.
