Warzone players sleeping on “low recoil” MW2 AR with one of best TTKs

Despite the intense competition in the Warzone meta, there is an underrated MW2 Assault Rifle that is actually powerful enough to compete with the top guns in the game. This is due to its minimal recoil and high time-to-kill at medium to long distances.

Despite the launch of MW3, the weapons from Modern Warfare 2 have not been able to make a significant impact on the Warzone meta. However, this does not mean that there are no strong choices from the previous game. One standout option is the STB 556, which according to CoD specialist WhosImmortal, can hold its own against the top Assault Rifles in the game.

The YouTuber highlighted the STB as a highly underrated gun in his April 1 video, stating that it is on par with the main ARs in MW3 and can compete with popular guns such as the RAM-7 and SVA 545 in the battle royale.

The TTK of this gun is nearly indistinguishable from the top weapons in its category, and its minimal recoil allows for effortless usage in mid to long-range battles, an ideal environment for Assault Rifles.

Despite the introduction of new weapons in Warzone, many players have avoided using MW2 guns due to their noticeable visual recoil. However, WhoImmortal discovered that by utilizing MW3 attachments, the STB 556 remains a viable option in the current meta.

Take a look at his top STB 556 setup listed below.

Top STB 556 Loadout for Warzone by WhosImmortal

Barrel: 508mm Rear Guard
Muzzle: VT-7 Spiritfire Suppressor
Optic: Corio Eagleseye 2.5X
Magazine: 42 Round Mag
Lower barrel: Bruen Heavy Support Grip

Despite WhosImmortal praising his top STB 556 loadout in Warzone, he did mention one drawback – the limited magazine capacity. Due to its rapid fire rate, being restricted to 42 rounds greatly diminishes its damage potential per magazine.

Despite its shortcomings, the slept-on AR more than makes up for them with its extremely low recoil, which makes it effortless to land shots, and its TTK that is comparable to any meta rifle.

Therefore, for those looking to switch up their loadout in Warzone Season 3 without worrying about being at a disadvantage, the STB 556 is a highly effective and often overlooked choice.
