Warzone Season 5 Assault Rifle outperforms top weapons with quick time-to-kill

The STG44 was introduced in Season 5 of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone and quickly became a popular choice due to its dominant TTK, making it the top choice for long-range combat.

Despite recent updates, the Warzone meta has remained largely unchanged with popular weapons such as the Superi 46, Kar98k, and even the Holger 26 (before its Season 5 nerf) continuing to dominate in all modes and maps.

The Season 5 update brought about numerous balancing changes and introduced new weapons, potentially causing a significant shift in the meta. With its impressive stats, the STG has the potential to become the top choice among players.

Based on data provided by TrueGameData, it is evident from the graph that the STG outperforms all other popular assault rifles and LMGs in Warzone with a TTK of only 600 ms, making it the fastest among its competitors.

The STG TTK is lightning-fast up to 38m, far outpacing other weapons.

A major concern with this is that once it reaches approximately 38m, the TTK drastically increases, making it more comparable to other choices. Therefore, it is most effective when used as a mid-range alternative, similar to the well-liked MCW JAK Raven Kit build, or when paired with a dominant one-shot sniper as a support weapon.

As a result, it is highly likely that it will perform exceptionally well on Resurgence maps like Rebirth Island. Therefore, it should come as no surprise when players begin to unlock attachments and create the ultimate STG Warzone loadout.

If you want to change your loadouts in Warzone Season 5, the TAQ Eradicator seems to be a promising choice due to its minimal increase in TTK compared to other weapons, making it a strong contender for long-range combat.
