The best STB 556 loadout in Warzone 2 and MW2 gives you an edge in every combat situation. But do you know how to build a great setup with this Assault Rifle? Here we’ll show you how you can transform the STB 556 from a normal AR into a beast in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2. Something that can either annihilate your enemies from mid to long-range or be quick enough to get some movement in close-range fights. Let’s get started!

Best STB 556 Loadout for Range Shots in Warzone 2

  • Barrel: Bruen Turaco 686mm
  • Underbarrel: Ftac Ripper 56
  • Rear Grip: Stip-40 Grip
  • Magazine: 42 Round Mag
  • Optic: Schlager 3.4x

The STB 556 has been a very reliable Assault Rifle in the Call of Duty: Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 throughout the year. There have been no major buffs or nerfs on this weapon during the previous and current Seasons. However, certain downfalls, like the small magazine size, have held this AR back, staying under the shadows of other meta weapons. This goes the same for the MX9 SMG, which is from the same platform as the STB 556. But still, you can enjoy the STB 556’s superfast TTK without loadout in Warzone 2.

The first thing for increasing the range of any weapon in Warzone 2‘s loadout system is the barrel. STB 556 is the best choice for the mid-range, but you need to make it steady and more powerful with the Bruen Turaco 686mm barrel. This attachment works as a silencer as well, so you don’t need to bother picking a muzzle too!

Next on the list for the best STB 556 loadout in Warzone 2 is the Ftac Ripper 56 underbarrel. Without any specific nerfs, this attachment is handy when you need to make steady the recoil pattern of weapons. After that, you can use a Stip-40 rear grip to maximize the accuracy. For more ammo, go with the 42 Round Mag, the largest magazine for STB 556.

Finally, equip the Schlager 3.4x optic or any other scope you prefer on your STB 556, and you’re ready to go. This is the best STB 556 loadout for shooting mid to long-range shots with this AR in Warzone 2.

Quick and Accurate STB 556 Loadout for MW2 Multiplayer

  • Barrel: 16.5″ Bruen S901 Barrel
  • Laser: 1mw Quick Fire Laser
  • Rear Grip: Bruen Q900 Grip
  • Magazine: 42 Round Mag
  • Optic: Cronen Mini Dot

Do you like the power and fire rate of the MX9 SMG but wonder why it doesn’t have a magazine larger than 32 rounds? Our “quick and accurate” STB 556 attachment setup is the solution for you. This STB 556 loadout is great for MW2 multiplayer mode or rushing hours of Vondel Resurgence in Warzone 2. This Assault Rifle can turn into an SMG, and here’s how you do it.

First, the 16.5″ Bruen S901 barrel is a trustworthy ally for those seeking movement speed with STB 556. Want a faster ADS time? The 1mw Quick Fire laser is the perfect attachment! It’s good to know that this laser is not even visible to enemies, so you won’t spoil your position to them.

Next is the Bruen Q900 rear grip, and after that, you’ll need to pick a 42 Round Mag attachment for this weapon. A normal 30-round is surely better for faster movement, but a 42-round mag won’t affect the overall speed that much. You’ll also notice how fast you’ll be out of ammo with the default 30-round magazine.

Now for the last and final attachment, pick a small optic to your preference. Cronen Mini Dot could be a good option, but it’s your call. The iron sights on the STB 556 are really not something to enjoy, as it blocks your vision. Moreover, you needn’t be worried about the ADS time penalty it gives you. With that barrel, laser, and rear grip, you’re covered with enough speed in this STB 556 loadout in Warzone 2 and MW2.

Call of Duty: Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 are available to play on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and Battle.Net.
