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 Sten is a Winter Siege SMG in Call of Duty: WWII that Activision compares with the MP-40. It fires quickly, works best at mid-range, and is still viable up close. Our verdict is to treat it as a mid-range SMG first. This advice is from 23 December 2017, before the April 2018 Division overhaul.
Best Sten loadout
This comes from Activision's official Winter Siege post, the only source we could read for this gun's attachments.
| Slot | Pick | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Attachment | Grip | Steadier shots |
| Attachment | Quickdraw | Faster aim down sights |
| Attachment | Extended Mag | More rounds per clip |
| Division | Airborne | Detachable Suppressor at the time of writing |
| Basic Training | Undercover | Activision's first suggestion; effect not listed |
Why this build works
Grip and Quickdraw support the mid-range role by getting you onto the sights quickly and keeping shots controlled, and Extended Mag lets the fast rate run longer before a reload. Activision adds that a sight is optional. A top-three list by one Steam player from March 2023 still ranks the Sten near the MP-40 among SMGs, though that is just one opinion.
How to play it
Take mid-range lanes where SMGs usually struggle, and use the Suppressor for quiet kills. Since April 2018, Suppressor is chosen in the loadout screen rather than granted by Airborne, so it now takes one of your attachment slots, as TheSixthAxis's patch notes describe.
Alternative setups
Swap Undercover for Duelist to carry akimbo pistols as your secondary, which Activision offers as the other Basic Training option.
Unlock notes
During Winter Siege it was earned through a Major Howard Special Order requiring 50 Multiplayer matches. MP1st notes that Winter Siege Supply Drops ran until 3 January 2018 as well. Check your own game for current availability.
