Call of Duty Warzone players may have been sleeping on a potential meta weapon in Rebirth Island. Since the release of Modern Warfare 3, they have overlooked Modern Warfare 2's firearms. However, after the most recent weapon-balancing changes, popular content creator WhosImmortal has found out that the STB 556 is actually one of the best assault rifles to use in the Resurgence mode right now.

If you want to learn about the loadout given by WhosImmortal, read below.

Best STB 556 loadout in Warzone's Rebirth Island

While there are several other choices for players to use in Warzone's Rebirth Island, the content creator explained that the STB 556 still has insane TTK and immediately melts enemies. If you are looking for the best STB 556 loadout to use in Warzone, here is what's recommended:

Muzzle: VT-7 Spiritfire Suppresor
Underbarrel: Bruen Heavy Support Grip
Barrel: 508MM Rear Guard
Optic: Corio Eagleseye 2.5x
Magazine: 42 Round Mag

Using the VT-7 Spiritfire Suppresor helps with the gun's recoil and also boosts some damage range. Not only that, it will also keep you off the radar during gunfights.

The Bruen Heavy Support Grip is one of the most important attachments here. While the gun has great TTK, the base variant is pretty difficult to control. The Underbarrel reduces the recoil and increase the weapon's accuracy, making it more lethal in mid- to long-range gunfights.

As for the Barrel, the 508MM Rear Guard is recommended as it increases the bullet velocity and damage range. Not only that, it improves hip-fire accuracy as well. Hence, the weapon may come in clutch during close-range gunfights.

The 42 Round Mag is the only downside of this loadout. However, since the TTK is pretty high in the STB 556, you don't have anything to worry about if you land your shots correctly.

Finally, the Corio Eagleseye 2.5x Optic is recommended to add in this loadout. This Optic is one of the best options to choose in Warzone right now, and it gives a precision sight picture in mid- to long-range fights.

While most of the Modern Warfare 3 weapons are better than the MW2 ones, the STB 556 might be a breath of fresh air. If you are looking to trying something new, this loadout is one of the best options that you can assemble from your arsenal.
