The STG44 has quickly picked up in terms of popularity after its initial release on July 24, 2024. It can be unlocked by completing Sector 7 of the Season 5 Battle Pass in Warzone. However, it now seems that Activision has decided to nerf the popular weapon one month into its existence In Warzone.

However, the nerf only applies to the maximum damage of the weapon. Previously, the STG44's maximum output would deal 36 damage while now, it will only deal 32. While this may be a major factor, players should still be able to find a way to make the weapon work effectively.

The damage range of several other assault rifles have also been changed with the new Warzone update. The BAL-27's maximum damage range has increased from 26.67 to 31.75 meters. Similarly, the FR 5.56's damage range is now 43.18, up from the previous 38.1 meters.
