The Sten SMG competes with the likes of MP40 in Call of Duty: Vanguard. It features a high fire rate, fast movement speed, and reasonable time-to-kill (TTK). The best Sten loadout for Vanguard showcased in this guide is a viable close-range weapon in the game.

Best Sten Loadout Vanguard

For a balance between accuracy and mobility stats, the best Sten attachments in CoD: Vanguard are:

  • Muzzle - M1929 SilencerOptic - Slate ReflectorStock - Gawain Folding 43SUnderbarrel - M1941 Hand StopMagazine - 9mm 50 Round DrumsAmmo Type - LengthenedRear Grip - Stippled GripProficiency - Gung-HoKit - Quick

This weapon doesn’t require a barrel, but SA 65mm Rapid barrel boosts the fire rate if you intend to equip one. However, this boost comes at the cost of accuracy. Gawain stock helps with hip-fire accuracy, aiming movement speed, and sprint-to-fire time.

You may want the 50 Round magazine for the .45 ACP 20 Round Fast Mags. Go for this attachment for an advantageously faster time-to-kill (TTK) if you can handle its cons. The cons of the .45 ACP magazine include reduced fire rate, accuracy, lesser ammo count, and mobility.

The Gung-Ho proficiency is a true game-changer perk and adds value to this weapon. Although perks and optics are subjective to every player, Gung-Ho makes this a run-and-gun class in Vanguard. With this perk, you don’t suffer any sprint-to-fire time penalties and can shoot while sprinting.
