Like many Vanguard guns, it is wildly flexible.
As the baseline of the Vanguard arsenal, it truly epitomizes that flexibility.
We start with theMX Silencer, the closest comparison to the Monolithic and Agency Suppressors of previous games.

The MX will keep you off of radar while firing, and grant a bonus to accuracy.
TheM1941 Hand Stopadds more recoil control and accuracy but hurts your hip fire spread.
Thats a close-range hit that youll gladly take and make up for with your secondary weapon.

For our magazine, were going with the8mm Kurz 45 Round Drum.
This is the STGs base caliber and has been the most consistent in our testing.
Plus, this is a bigger magazine than youll get with either of the alternate calibers.
Youre going to want those extra rounds to fend off multiple foes.
At this point, weve added a lot of attachments that slow ADS speed.
Thats why weve gone for theLeather Gripto help mitigate those downsides.
If youre finding that recoil is a problem though, try the Pine Tar or Stippled Grip.
Youll want some zoom for this kind of range, so weve opted for aZF4 3.5x Rifle Scope.
Our stock of choice is theVDD 34S Weighted, which grants recoil, accuracy, and flinch resistance bonuses.
However, it comes with a sizeable ADS speed penalty.
If you find it makes your STG unbearably unwieldy, try a VDD 27 Precision stock instead.
Vital functionally makes the neck/upper chest hitbox have the same damage multiplier as the head.
On a high-headshot-damage rifle like the STG, this is massively powerful.
Finally, weve gone with theFully Loadedkit to help top your ammo up.
For something a little more tried and tested, check out either version of theMP5.
Thats all you gotta dominate in Warzone Pacific with the STG44!
