Source review — 10 November 2026: This is an original-game loadout from the dated guide below. Accessible source pages confirm the listed weapon attachment names. Perks and equipment retain their original dated attribution; the source review does not imply hands-on testing or a fresh balance-patch analysis.
The STG-44 has moderate power and a low rate of fire, which disappointed many World at War players. Popkorne's Steam guide still rates it a decent mid-to-long-range weapon and says it is very popular in hardcore. Our verdict is to play it for its control and change one perk by mode. This applies to original 2008 multiplayer.
Best STG-44 loadout
No major guide publishes a build for this gun, so this is our suggested setup from its available attachments. Attachments come from GameRevolution's challenge list (7 December 2010). The perk logic is from the Steam guide (updated January 2019).
| Slot | Pick | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Attachment | Aperture Sight | Sight; effect not listed |
| Perk 2 (core) | Stopping Power | Steam guide says you use fewer bullets |
| Perk (hardcore) | Double Tap | Steam guide says it raises fire rate with little extra recoil |
| Perk 3 | Steady Aim | Steam guide says it helps close-quarters fights |
Why this build works
The guide lists 30 to 20 damage, a 30-round magazine and very low recoil. It says the gun benefits equally from Stopping Power or Double Tap. In hardcore, Double Tap doesn't change the bullets needed for a kill but does speed up your fire.
How to play it
Stay at medium to long range and use the easy recoil to keep shots on target. The guide says it isn't effective in close quarters outside hardcore, though better there than other rifles.
Unlock notes
GameRevolution and the Steam guide both list the STG-44 at level 37. The Aperture Sight takes 75 kills.
Other listed attachments: Flash Hider (25 kills), Telescopic Sight (100 kills).
