It’s Sledgehammer time, and they have brought back WWII’s all-time favorite, the STG44, to the modern era of Call of Duty. This weapon was the first villainous rifle before the AK-47 with high power and recoil. However, the version featured in MW3 is as broken as my old watch. You can have the STG44 AR for your best mid to long-range loadouts, or you could just have a speedy build to rival the best SMGs in MW3 and Warzone Season 5.
How To Unlock STG44 in MW3 and Warzone Season 5
You can unlock the STG44 in Warzone and MW3 by unlocking Sector 7 of the Season 5 battle pass. You don’t need to purchase the battle pass to unlock this AR, as it’s completely free to acquire.
Best MW3 STG44 AR Loadout
- Muzzle: Quartermaster Suppressor
- Ammunition: High Grain Rounds
- Barrel: Bruen Arcux Heavy Barrel
- Optic: VLK 4.0x
- Magazine: 50-Round Mag
The STG44 needs only one attachment for recoil control: The Quartermaster Suppressor muzzle. This muzzle reduces the recoil on any weapon by 43%! This is a new level of killing the gunkick, and STG44 already comes with an easy-to-handle recoil pattern.
Now let’s focus on the bullet velocity, damage, and damage range by High Grain Rounds ammunition and Bruen Arcux Heavy Barrel. The STG44 hits heavy punches but the bullets on long range drop like rain. The HG Rounds and the barrel give you an advantage to fix the shortcomings while adding a little bit of mobility penalties.
The ADS speed is still perfect even after we attach the big barrel to the muzzle on this AR. In the end, you just need the 50-Round Mag and a good optic for hitting long-range shots for the best STG44 AR loadout in MW3 and Warzone Season 5. The VLK 4.0x is a solid choice, but there are plenty of precision sights to choose from; it’s your call.
STG44 Nerd Review: Absolutely Broken
Compared to the other Assault Rifles in MW3 and Warzone, the STG44 is the only weapon that delivers all you need in one package. Guns like the MCW, MTZ-556, and even the Holger 556 give you a taste of what a good AR can be, while the STG44 has the full flavor all over it. It’s a matter of power and accuracy, and this AR delivers on both fronts with the least recoil to handle.
