Best STB-556 Loadout In Warzone 2.0 [Season 5]

The STB-556 is one of the best Assault Rifles in Call of Duty Warzone 2.0. It offers a well-balanced toolkit with several strengths that make it stand out from other ARs. Like most weapons, the STB-556 has several attachments and add-ons that push it to a whole new level. However, it can often be confusing to choose which setup is gonna suit you the most. So let’s jump right in and look at the best STB-556 loadout in COD Warzone 2.0!

Best Attachments For The STB-556 In Warzone 2.0

Here are some of the best attachments:

Warzone 2.0 encourages using weapons that are good for close-range and long-range engagements. The STB-556 is best in the mid to long-range territory, making it an ideal choice for an assault rifle loadout in Call of Duty Warzone 2.0. As such, we’re gonna be using attachments that make the STB-556 a beast for mid-range combat.

Muzzle: Echoless 80

Starting from the front of the STB-556, we’ll equip the Echoless-80 as our muzzle. This attachment brings numerous benefits to the weapon, such as its buffs to our damage range, recoil smoothness, and bullet velocity.

With the enhancement to the damage range and recoil, this weapon becomes a lot more effective for mid-range and long-range engagements. Additionally, the time to kill is also improved with that bump in bullet velocity.

Underbarrel: FTAC Ripper 56

Moving on to the underbarrel, the best attachment for this loadout is definitely the FTAC Ripper 56. This attachment hugely improves our overall accuracy and recoil control, as it helps in our Aiming idle stability, Hip fire accuracy, and recoil stabilization.

This is an ideal choice for players looking to make the STB-556 much more stable and easier to use. Another great thing about this attachment is that this is the first underbarrel you’ll unlock, so it’s pretty easy to get.

Laser: VLK LZR 7MW

For our precision and accuracy, we’re only going to be sticking with only a laser, and the best choice for that category is the VLK LZR 7MW. This laser makes a ton of improvements to our ADS and mobility, such as bumping up the ADS speed and stability, along with the Sprint to Fire speed boost.

Magazine: 42 Round Mag

Assault Rifles often tend to eat up bullets in clutch situations. This is especially the case in Warzone, where you’re usually up against an entire squad and every bullet matters. Reloading in that situation is a death sentence, and for that reason, a 42 Round Mag will significantly improve the STB-556’s reliability.

Comb: FTAC C11 Riser

For our final attachment, we can go ahead and equip the FTAC C11 Riser as our Comb. This attachment is all about mobility, as it helps to give extra ADS speed and sprint-to-fire speed. This makes the STB-556 a lot snappier and more agile, making it more effective in close-range combat. 

Best Perk Package For The STB-556

The STB-556 is already a great standalone weapon on its own in Warzone 2.0. For this loadout, we’ll specifically look at perks that work well for a battle royale mode. This includes helping with stealth and mobility, the top few key aspects to consider when you’re on a big map surrounded by enemies.

Apart from that, we’ll also be focusing on perks that add to the overall synergy between our equipment, our weapons, and Warzone’s mechanics. This gives our complete class setup a boost in power and the best possible reliability leading to a balanced STB-556 loadout COD Warzone 2.0.

• Basic Perks: Overkill and Tracker
• Bonus Perk: Fast Hands
• Ultimate Perk: Ghost

Best Secondary Weapon

With the help of Overkill, we can include a primary weapon as our second gun in the loadout. Since the STB-556 is an Assault rifle, we’ll need a secondary weapon that focuses purely on stopping power. This could be either long-range or close-range since the STB-556 already covers the mid-range territory.

Long-Range Option – Lockwood Mk2

If you’re looking for a weapon that controls long-range battles, the Lockwood Mk2 has your back. As one of the best Marksman rifles in COD Warzone 2.0, this gun offers a great balance between damage, range, mobility, and accuracy. Apart from that, the Lockwood offers nearly the same versatility as the STB-556 so that you can customize this weapon in a variety of ways, and it’ll be just as good.

For our loadout options, we’ll make the Lockwood Mk2 a powerful long-range Marksman rifle. Here’s a list of the recommended attachments:

• Laser: Accu-Shot 5MW Laser
• Optic: Teplo-OP3
• Muzzle: FTAC Dreadnought
• Barrel: 25″ Buffalo Barrel
• Ammunition: .45 GVT Hollowpoint

With these attachments, you’ll be able to dominate the long-range battleground, one-shot or two-shotting your enemies from afar and finishing them off with the STB-556.

Close-Range Option – Lockwood 300

In a game like Warzone 2.0, where time to kill matters the most, you’re gonna need a weapon that finishes the enemy quickly while still being reliable enough to do it. As such, the best shotgun for that job is gonna be the Lockwood 300. This double-barrel shotgun is a close-range powerhouse that fires 2 bullets back to back, resulting in an immediate kill if shot accurately.

The Lockwood 300 is already a good weapon on its own, but to make it more reliable, we need to upgrade its speed and range. For that reason, we’re going to put on the following attachments:

• Muzzle: XTEN V2.0 Choke
• Underbarrel: Matuzek 812 Barrel
• Laser: VLK LZR 7MW
• Buck: Buck-Pro
• Stock: Heist Stock Mod

With these attachments, the Lockwood 300 becomes a tank for close-range encounters thanks to its upgraded damage range and speed. You can use this weapon in tightly packed corridors and rooms where you can clean house an entire squad on your own.

Best Tactical And Lethal Equipment

Finally, to make the optimal loadout for the STB-556 in COD Warzone 2.0, we have to decide the best equipment, Tactical and lethal, that’ll work well in Al Mazrah. Thankfully, we have a few standout choices that feel like they’re specifically designed for a battle royale. Therefore, it’ll give you a unique yet noticeable advantage over other players.

• Tactical: Heartbeat Sensor
• Lethal: Thermite
