This is the right choice...

The AS44 is not meta, it does require some skill but it’s pretty fun. Mastering this rifle feels like being able to make the best out of something that doesn’t always work, but once it’s on your hands… oof! What I mean is that there are far better weapons but it’s up to the player if this assault rifle ends up being competitive or not. Are you up for a challenge or just a good time? It doesn’t matter which one you choose, you can have both with the AS44.

5. OVERPOWERED

This AS44 build is specifically made to be almost unstoppable. You will be accurate, and fast and your shots will be lethal. We’ll mainly focus on control and damage, so you can rush and spawn trap your enemies or just get’em from afar. Keep that Sleight of Hand proficiency though, cause you’ll be reloading a lot when using this gun.

4. NUKES

I honestly felt sad when I saw this loadout, cause I already got the AS44’s gold camo, but for those who aren’t grinding gold or atomic camo, you can still have some nasty games with this class. Not gonna lie, it does feel a bit slow at times but on the other hand… it hits like a freaking truck. Recoil’s a bit harder to control and you only have 30 bullets but the damage is simply… *chef’s kiss*.

3. HIPFIRE

I know CoD’s pretty competitive but you don’t have to be a sweat all the time. That’s what this class is for: trolling and having a good time. The AS44 was meta on Warzone too, because of its nasty hip fire damage. You could run it as sniper support and you’d delete your enemies in no time. That build works on Vanguard too and even though it was slightly nerfed, it still works incredibly well. You will need all the accuracy you can get and that’s what these attachments are for. Now go piss some players off.

2. LONGSHOTS/BR

You can either try this loadout on Vanguard and get the longshots pretty easily or take advantage of it and take it to the Warzone. Either way, you will have a very powerful gun in your hands but beware of the recoil control. This class is for those who have more experience with mastering difficult recoil patterns and taking full advantage of an underestimated weapon. Good luck.

1. LOW LEVEL

Now this one is for those who hate leveling your weapons up, cause you think they’re trash until you get’em to max level. Well, you’re right. No, seriously, this loadout is like the number 5’s little brother, this one’s like Sasuke, you know?...  Haha, sorry. But jokes aside, it will make your grind to level 70 a little bit more comfortable and fun. Your weapon won’t be OP, but you’ll be able to defend yourself thanks to its controllable recoil, decent fire rate, and smooth mobility.
