Reliable Assault Rifle, average damage, fast tactical reload speed, slow fire rate The STG44 is a German WW2 era Assault Rifle that can be obtained as a wall weapon in The Giant for 1200 points or in the Mystery Box for 950 in the majority of other maps.
Unlike other weapons of its type, it has fairly higher recoil compared to its counterparts of the same weapon class. The STG44 also has the slowest fire rate out of all the Assault Rifles. Though it has fairly decent base damage doing only 20 damage less than the AK47, the damage multipliers for the STG44 are not really all that great and due to these facts the STG44 is a fairly unpopular choice compared to other Assault Rifles.
Though an unpopular choice, the STG44 is still a fairly viable weapon especially on the map The Giant where it is one of two Assault Rifle wallbuys (the other being the FG42) so the ammunition for the gun is readily available and due to that (and the location of the wallbuy itself) the STG very good choice of weapon to go for the Midnight Giant badge. On other maps due to its low fire rate and its higher reserve ammo capacity compared to its other Assault Rifle counterparts (especially compared to the M4A4 and AUG A1) the STG44 lasts a lot longer in terms of ammo; though just like other Mystery Box weapons is alienated by wallbuys when it comes to point farming.
Due to its low fire rate the STG44 greatly benefits from the Double Tap perk which increases its RPM by 33%, bumping the fire rate from 588 RPM to 782 RPM. Other than that it doesn't need much else in terms of perks to be a viable option.
