STG

The STG-44 is the last weapon of the Chaos Militia's weapon tree. It is unlocked at Level 15, so it'll be a while for the average joe to grab one.

First, a little background:

The STG-44, or Sturmgewehr 44, was possibly the first carbine to ever be used in action. Its plans were made in 1940 as the part of the machine gun project and the first prototypes were made in 1942. Official production started in 1943 and over 426,000 were made. It was produced until the end of World War 2, however it was still used by East Germany until it was replaced with the AK-47. That is no coincidence: In the same way that the Federov heavily influenced the modern assault rifles of today, so too did the STG-44 become a heavy influence for the AK lineage of firearms. And now you can say you learned something from SCP: Devolved. Yay.

If you're used to the Chaos Militia's weaponry being underwhelming, the STG-44 is a nasty wake-up call. At 14 damage and 30 bullets to a magazine, it can be seen as a better version of the Insurgency's Vityaz. In fact, it is comparable to the Insurgency's AK-74, which does 15 damage instead. And this is on the free class with infinite lives. Maniacal laugh not included.

Tips:

The STG-44 is more powerful than ANY of Security's primaries, while reloading faster than any of MTF's primaries. Couple that with the facts that Chaos usually ambushes, and STG-44 users most likely have the Skorpion, and a single Militia can kill multiple enemies in a deadly sweep of bullets.

This juggernaut of a loadout can go toe-to-toe with most gamepass teams, especially newer guys. As long as you fire the first shots and aim straight and true, you should be able to win any 1v1.

As for specifics on the usage, think more SMG and less rifle. You still have that lovely 3.2 second reload time where most rifles take 4.2, so use it. It pays to be aggressive.

Keep in mind that, compared to the Federov, the STG-44 shreds at close and medium range, (to the point that minigun and AA-12 users will be killed if they aren't paying attention) but suffers at long range due to less damage per shot and slightly lesser accuracy. In most situations though, and especially inside the site, the STG-44 is the better pick.
