Warzone: Pacific’s base level rifle is one of its best - here’s how to take advantage
Looking for the best STG44 loadout in Warzone Pacific?Vanguard’s first Assault Rifle is already looking enticing onCaldera. Like many Vanguard guns, it is wildly flexible. As the baseline of the Vanguard arsenal, it truly epitomizes that flexibility. You can tweak the STG inWarzoneto excel as a long-range beam, close-range cannon, or something in between. Our Warzone STG44 loadout guide will break down the best build, which will serve you well in a variety of loadouts.
Best STG44 loadout in Warzone Pacific
Our best STG loadout is built for range and is ideal for Caldera’s long sightlines. Here’s the build:
We’re usingLengthenedrounds for the ammunition type to pick up some bullet velocity, a key stat for long-range builds. At this point, we’ve added a lot of attachments that slow ADS speed. That’s why we’ve gone for theLeather Gripto help mitigate those downsides. If you’re finding that recoil is a problem though, try the Pine Tar or Stippled Grip. You’ll want some zoom for this kind of range, so we’ve opted for aZF4 3.5x Rifle Scope. Historically, 3x and 4x zooms have been the most popular in Warzone, so the ZF4 should be a comfortable fit for veteran players.
Our stock of choice is theVDD 34S Weighted, which grants recoil, accuracy, and flinch resistance bonuses. However, it comes with a sizeable ADS speed penalty. If you find it makes your STG unbearably unwieldy, try a VDD 27 Precision stock instead. The proficiency slot is arguably the STG’s most powerful, as the STG is one of a few rifles with theVitalproficiency available. Vital functionally makes the neck/upper chest hitbox have the same damage multiplier as the head. On a high-headshot-damage rifle like the STG, this is massively powerful. Vital basically grants the player an extra headshot or two for free and is a must-run on every STG loadout. Finally, we’ve gone with theFully Loadedkit to help top your ammo up.
A long-range rifle like this plus a close-rangeSMGis Warzone’s most popular loadout template, and that’s what we’ll go with here. The M1942, MP40, and Type 100 from Vanguard are all looking strong right out of the gate. For something a little more tried and tested, check out either version of theMP5.
That’s all you need to dominate in Warzone Pacific with the STG44! We’ll be updating all our Warzone guides regularly as the Pacific meta takes shape, so check back often for the latest builds.
