Warzone AS44 loadout

The best AS44 Warzone loadout is among the fastest Assault Rifle classes in Season 1 and we’ve got all the strongest Attachments and Perks you need to get the most out of the underrated weapon.

CoD Vanguard’s AS44 Assault Rifle is among the more unique weapons in its category. While it can still shine as a long-range tool, it works best as a fast-firing, SMG-esque gun instead.

Picking the right attachments to boost bullet velocity and lower recoil will keep it shredding through enemies, even at ranges that you might not think it could handle.

Here’s everything you need to equip the very best AS44 loadout in Warzone.

AS44 Warzone loadout
The AS44 was previously viewed more like an SMG but this long-range build has picked up steam in Season 4.

Best AS44 Warzone loadout

  • Muzzle: MX Silencer
  • Barrel: Kovalevskaya 615mm
  • Optic: SVT PU Scope 3-6x
  • Stock: Kovalevskaya Custom
  • Underbarrel: Carver Foregrip
  • Magazine: 7.62 Gorenko 50 Round Mag
  • Ammo Type: Lengthened
  • Rear Grip: Hatched Grip
  • Perk 1: Disable
  • Perk 2: Fully Loaded

Rather than building a well-rounded AR, our goal here is to bring up the gin’s and without cranking up the recoil. 

 The Kovalevskaya 615mm barrel and the the 7.62 Gorenko 50 Rouns Mag both saw a buff in Season 4, making them the ideal picks to keep the fire rate and damage high without aiming becoming an impossible task.

Next comes the SCT PU Scope to keep you prepared for fights at long range, while the Kovalveskaya Custom stock keeps things anchored nicely. 

The Carver Foregrip is another solid option as this attachment handles the extra vertical recoil that the AS44 is infamous for. By strapping this one on, players can trust the gun at longer ranges than with some of the competitors. 

AS44 from Warzone
The AS44 has always been a viable pick for close-range fights.

Moving on we have the .30 Russian Short 60 Round Mags for one key reason: to keep you firing. The default magazines run dry fairly quickly, so doubling the capacity is highly effective.

When it comes to selecting an Ammo Type, there’s nothing better than Lengthened. Other picks can be solid in the right situations, but increasing Bullet Velocity is undeniably the most important option.

Rounding things out is the Stippled Grip Rear Grip for some added recoil control, especially with your initial rounds. Then comes Gung-ho in the Perk 1 slot along with Fully Loaded in the Perk 2 slot.

Gung-ho is one of the most important picks in this entire build as it allows you to shoot while sprinting. Meanwhile, Fully Loaded provides a huge surplus of ammo so you’ll never run out.

Best AS44 Warzone setup (Perks & Equipment)

Warzone gameplay
Picking the right Perks & Equipment help to elevate this AS44 build.
  • Perk 1: E.O.D.
  • Perk 2: Overkill
  • Perk 3: Combat Scout
  • Secondary: STG44
  • Lethal: Frag Grenade
  • Tactical: Stim

In choosing the right Perks, you want to ensure you’re picking around the AS44’s speed. Therefore, we’ve gone with the standard E.O.D. and Overkill to bring a second Primary to the fight. However, we’ve also settled on Combat Scout in the third slot.

You’ll always be on the move with this AS44 Warzone build. Landing just one shot on a target with Combat Scout equipped will keep them highlighted on your screen for a few seconds. This is crucial information as you take on entire squads across the bushy Caldera.

Warzone gameplay
Combat Scout is an extremely powerful Perk with this fast-paced AS44 loadout in Warzone Season 1.

In terms of Lethal and Tactical equipment, you can’t ever go wrong with the standard Frag Grenade and Stims.

Activating a Stim in the right moment, especially with this fast-firing AS44 build, can give you a huge advantage in any gunfight.
