How to get the STG44 in Warzone and MW3
The STG44 assault rifle can be unlocked for free by completing Sector 7 of the Season 5 Battle Pass. The update went live on July 24, 2024, at 9 am PT and players can get their hands on the weapon by just grinding the Battle Pass.
According to the content drop blog, this weapon is a fully automatic, hard-hitting rifle with high damage output. Due to its high damage, the weapon is expected to have some recoil.
However, you can easily customize it with attachments to enhance its performance and mitigate drawbacks like recoil control. Additionally, the AR will have a high-quality iron sight, eliminating the need for an optic and freeing up an attachment slot for further fine-tuning.
As you unlock the STG44, play some matches with it to level up and unlock all attachments. The weapon has a maximum of 21 levels, so increasing its level will provide you with a powerful base and offer a fresh gunplay experience.
