After a brief three-year hiatus from the franchise, the STG-44 has returned in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (MW3), and it brings a solid loadout for multiplayer with it. You can see the recommended loadout of attachments for the STG-44 in the guide below.
Best STG-44 Loadout in MW3
Without any attachments on it, the STG-44 is already a solid assault rifle. It features decent recoil control and damage range and can be mobile if required. However, you can get more out of the STG by selecting the right attachments, which are viewable below:
- Muzzle: ZEHMN 35 Compensated Flash Hider
- Barrel: Bruen Acrux Heavy Barrel
- Optic: MK. 3 Reflector
- Underbarrel: DR-6 Handstop
- Rear Grip: Citadel Grip

This loadout features a balanced mix of both accuracy and mobility attachments, giving you a well-rounded version of the STG-44. We start with the ZEHMN 35 Compensated Flash Hider, providing better mini-map visibility and extra recoil control. Then, the Bruen Acrux Heavy Barrel comes in and tremendously boosts both damage range and bullet velocity, but at the cost of mobility.
Luckily, we can make that up with the DR-6 Handstop, which increases aim down sights speed, movement speed, and sprint-to-fire time. Finishing up the loadout are the Citadel Grip, further boosting recoil control, and the MK. 3 Reflector optic. You can swap out the optic with another if you prefer, of course.
