Call of Duty 2026 MP44 guide: Learn why it's the best automatic weapon in multiplayer, its accuracy, and effective ranges.
The MP44, also known as the STG44 in other World War 2 games, is a German assault rifle. While not as effective in single-player, it excels in multiplayer. Its accuracy is notable for an automatic weapon, making it viable as a rifle. You can switch it to semi-automatic mode by pressing the 'M' key.
Due to its precision, the MP44 is not ideal for traditional suppressing fire. However, if you need to use it for that purpose, try firing while slightly wiggling your mouse. The MP44 has a 30-bullet clip and takes approximately 11 bullets on average to kill an enemy, reducing the need for frequent reloads.
The most effective way to utilize the MP44 is at close range. It outperforms smaller automatic weapons like the Sten and the Thompson, which are weaker and easily overpowered in close-quarters combat.
