With Season 3 / 2022, a lot of balance adjustments came to Call of Duty: Warzone – on the side of the nerfs and buffs. The assault rifle STG 44 has particularly benefited from a buff and is now very easy and mobile to play. We show you the appropriate setup on MeinMMO.
What kind of weapon is this? The STG 44 is like the mother of assault rifles and came to the free battle royale Warzone through CoD: Vanguard.
It is considered a beginner assault rifle because it is available at account level 4 and provides average stats – moderate fire rate, moderate damage, moderate performance.
After a buff in Season 3, the assault rifle now plays very smoothly and offers low recoil. Thus, the STG 44 rises into the meta for long-range weapons, and MeinMMO shows you the appropriate setup for it.
In the trailer, you can see what Season 3 has to offer:

If you can handle some recoil, switch to the magazine “Short 8mm 60 Round Drums” (engl: 8mm Kurz 60 Round Drums). This gives you a good amount more damage.
What is the STG good at? With the setup, you get a very stable weapon with good mobility stats. The weapon is comparable to the Grau 5.56 from CoD MW. The Grau also plays a role in the long-range meta of Season 3.
However, the STG 44 wins in terms of mobility. In the range, the two are roughly equal and with meta setups, they reach around 45 meters in the second damage area.
Where does the STG have weaknesses? Due to the low recoil, you hit easier, but this comes at the cost of damage. As is often the case with long-range assault rifles in Warzone, it is primarily about getting the opponent and not how quickly the enemy goes down.
The secure feeling of the weapon is also a factor that you should not underestimate. If you want to see gameplay of the STG 44 with the 50 Round Gorenko Magazine, we are embedding an English video from the Warzone YouTuber “TheKoreanSavage”:
The STG 44 is one of the first weapons that stands out after the comprehensive balance updates of Season 3 in Warzone. It remains exciting to see in which direction the weapon meta develops.
We at MeinMMO will continue to keep an eye out and keep you informed about important changes in the meta. For that, regularly check our list of the best weapons in Warzone.
