The assault rifle featured in Modern Warfare 2 has proven to be a highly effective choice in Warzone due to its quick time-to-kill (TTK) capabilities at any distance. It is a weapon that has been utilized by everyone at some point.
When Warzone first incorporated Modern Warfare 3, weapons from its predecessor – Modern Warfare 2 – were swiftly removed from use. Certain players deemed them “unsuitable”due to the changes in health mechanics in Warzone and MW3, and consequently, there were numerous calls for buffs to be implemented.
After a few months have passed, MW2 weapons are once again being considered for the battle royale meta. While guns from MW3 continue to dominate, their older counterparts have also received some attention.
As a result, the use of assault rifles such as the STB-556 is increasing in the meta, particularly due to their ability to quickly eliminate enemies at varying distances.
The STB caught the attention of Warzone expert WhosImmortal, who pointed out that it holds the top spot as the most effective gun from MW2 due to its impressive sprint-to-fire speed that gives it an advantage over other weapons.
“According to the YouTuber, this thing’s sprint-to-fire advantage makes it incredibly versatile, suitable for Resurgence-style gameplay and even effective at long distances, making it a viable option for the big map as well.”

Despite its advantages, the STB does have one drawback according to the YouTuber – its limited ammo capacity. With only 42 rounds in the magazine, frequent reloads are necessary. This means that when engaging in combat, it is important to choose strategic gunfights that take advantage of the weapon’s sprint-to-fire feature.
While it may not be the sole MW2 weapon with a fast TTK, the RAPP H LMG has also been recently highlighted by the YouTuber.
