Following the Call of Duty: Vanguard Warzone integration, players have over 40 additional WWII-themed weapons to choose from. Unsurprisingly, a variety of these has found their way into the warzone meta, including the STG44. This is one of the entry-level assault rifles that hold its own, even against top-tier weapons like the Bren, Cooper Carbine, and BAR. What’s great about the STG44 is its versatility, excelling up close, at long range, and even as sniper support.
But what loads should you use with the STG44? After all, there are so many different ways to build the weapon that it can be overwhelming when looking at the options. Fortunately, we have three essential STG44 loadout recommendations for you to use in a war zone for various styles of play.
STG44 Overview

As always, let’s take a look at an overview of the STG44, with a detailed breakdown showing how it stacks up against other assault rifles. To be honest, the STG44 is by no means the best weapon in the game, but its versatility is what makes it shine. This assault rifle falls somewhere between the likes of the Cooper Carbine and AK-47 (CW), with a competitive time to kill (TTK) at various ranges.
The STG44 doesn’t stick out much until after about 100 feet, however, you can absolutely dress it up to work well up close. According to TrueGameData, the STG44 has a TTK of around 850ms if you fire all chest shots at around 30m, putting it around the mid-range TTK for assault rifles. However, given how easy it is to control, you’ll be able to consistently achieve this TTK compared to other weapons like the AK-47 (CW) which are much harder to control.
Bottom line: The STG44 may not look remarkable on paper, but considering its low recoil and versatility, you shouldn’t ignore it.

First, let’s dive into the best STG44 build for long-range, which will serve you well on Caldera or Rebirth Island. This is a build that will emphasize recoil control, accuracy, and range, allowing you to secure kills tens of meters away.
Start by using the Stabilizing Muzzle F8. This may be surprising, but you will find it much easier to control your weapon due to this attachment’s accuracy and increased damage range. It does affect sprint-to-fire speed and hip-fire accuracy, but both of these debuffs are virtually no problem with this build. So go with the VDD 760mm 05B Cannon to increase damage range, reduce scope sway, and increase accuracy and control. This is the key to the long-range setup. After that, pick an optic you’re comfortable with, preferably something with at least 2.5x zoom like the SVT-40 Visor PU 3-6x. This attachment actually improves your accuracy, which is a big plus.
Since this is a ranged build, we highly recommend using the VDD 27 Precision Stock for additional horizontal recoil control and faster ADS speeds. This will make the weapon easier to control. Speaking of control, it’s best to use the Carver Foregrip Underbarrel in this case, as it increases recoil control and hip-fire accuracy. Next up is one of the keys to this build and that is the Kurz 60 8mm Round Drum Magazine. It can be tempting to go for the short 45-round .30 Russian mags or even the 50-round 7.62 Gorenko mags, but both should be avoided for long-range. the 8mm Kurz gives you plenty of ammo without hurting your recoil control.
To improve the speed of your bullet, it is essential to select the Lengthened Ammo. This makes your bullets reach your opponents faster, preventing you from having to lead your shots as much. After that, we suggest the Polymer Rear Grip , which gives you better recoil resistance and greater accuracy and recoil control during sustained fire. For your Perk, it can be tempting to use Vital as it increases torso damage, but this doesn’t actually reduce the number of shots to kill so it’s better to use Sleight of Hand instead. This perk allows you to reload faster. Lastly, equip Fully Charged to Perk 2 for maximum starting ammo.

When it comes to perks, it’s hard to go wrong with EOD, which increases your resistance to explosive damage. This is generally more useful than Quick Fix, and since this loadout is more designed for range, it can likely be covered much more easily than with a fast-paced class setup. So our de
