CoD Warzone’s entry-level assault rifle rocks the meta in Season 3 – with the right setup
With Season 3 / 2022 came a lot of balance adjustments to Call of Duty: Warzone – on the part of the nerfs and buffs. The STG 44 assault rifle has benefited particularly strongly from a buff and is now very easy and mobile to play. We show you the right setup on MeinMMO.
What is this weapon? The STG 44 is something like the great mother of the assault rifles and came into the free Battle Royale Warzone via CoD: Vanguard.
It’s considered a entry-level assault rifle because it’s available right at account level 4 and delivers average stats – moderate rate of fire, moderate damage, moderate performance.
After a buff in Season 3, the Assault Rifle now plays very smoothly and offers low recoil. With this, the STG 44 moves up into the meta for ranged weapons and MeinMMO shows you the right setup for it.
In the trailer you can see what else Season 3 has to offer:
CoD Warzone: STG setup for long range ease
What does a strong setup look like? The STG 44 is a classic Warzone long-range assault rifle that with a focus on recoil stabilization becomes a very reliable companion.

If you can handle some recoil, switch to the Kurz 8mm 60 Round Drums magazine. This brings you a good deal more damage.
What is the STG good at? With the setup you get a very stable weapon with good mobility values. The weapon is comparable to the Grau 5.56 from CoD MW. The gray also plays a role again in the range meta of Season 3.
However, the STG 44 wins when it comes to mobility. In terms of ranges, the two are about the same and go into the second damage area with meta setups at around 45 meters.
What is mobility in CoD Warzone and why is it so important?
Where does the STG have weaknesses? The low recoil makes it easier to hit, but at the expense of damage. As is often the case with long-range assault rifles in Warzone, it’s all about catching the enemy, not how fast the enemy goes down.
However, the safe feeling of the weapon is also a factor that you should not underestimate. If you want to watch the gameplay of the STG 44 with 50-round Gorenko magazine, we include an English video by Warzone YouTuber “TheKoreanSavage” here:
The STG 44 is one of the first weapons to stand out in Warzone after the massive Season 3 balance updates. It remains exciting for the time being in which direction the weapon meta develops.
