The Warzone meta is an ever-changing environment. As weapons are nerfed and buffed, players rush to the Gunsmith to figure out what works best in a variety of situations in the battle royale.
One of the weapons available in both Warzone and MW2 is the STB 556, the assault rifle of the Bruen Bullpup platform. It might pale in comparison to some ARs like the M4, TAQ-56, or Kastov 545, but it’s absolutely a weapon that should find its way into loadouts and custom builds everywhere.
The STB 556 is inspired by the AUG assault rifle, and it’s one of the more slept-on assault rifles in MW2 and Warzone. But as players continue to experiment with guns in the battle royale, the STB has become one that’s worth keeping your eye on.
After a pretty sizable buff in season three, however, players are seeing the strengths of the STB 556 come to the forefront.
Here’s the best set of attachments for fans of the STB 556 to find success in Warzone battle royale or Resurgence modes.
Best STB 556 loadout in Warzone

Add these attachments to the STB 556 for an optimal experience in MW2:
- Barrel: Bruen Turaco 686mm
- Recoil Steadiness: +0.50lb
- Damage Range: +0.40in
- Optic: AIM OP-V4
- Aim Down Sight Speed: -3.00oz
- Far: -1.65in
- Underbarrel: VX Pineapple
- Hip Recoil Control: +0.10oz
- Aim Down Sight Speed: -0.40in
- Ammunition: 5.56 High Velocity
- Recoil Smoothness: -0.70g
- Bullet Velocity: +9.00gr
- Magazine: 42 Round Mag
This setup for the STB 556 turns it into a stability machine, offering laser-like precision at the cost of some extremely slow mobility and handling. So you’ll need to use a specific, slower-paced playstyle when wielding this weapon, but it’s worth it.
This set of attachments will increase the STB’s damage, range, accuracy, and recoil control but severely negate the mobility and handling, as mentioned. This thing feels very slow and clunky to use, but its range and power are strong.
Keeping this in mind, you will need a second, faster weapon tuned for close-quarters battles in your secondary slot. Something like a Vaznev-9K, Lachmann Sub, or Fennec 45 will help to turn your equipped loadout into a BR victory-farming machine.
Best perks for STB 556 in Warzone
- Perk Package: Double Time, Battle Hardened, Fast Hands, Ghost
To find the most success with the STB 556, you’ll need to stay on the move and also stay disguised from your enemy’s mini-maps. This perk package is currently the best option available for Warzone players because of this.
Best equipment for STB 556 in Warzone
- Tactical: Flash
- Lethal: Semtex or Throwing Knife
Flash grenades are kind of overpowered in Warzone as they stand. The sheer brightness of your enemy’s screen after you hit them with one will leave them debilitated and spraying wildly, making it easy for you to finish them off with the STB’s precision fire.
