The base version of the STEN already has good mobility and fire rate, this build takes those stats to another level and still keeps the recoil controllable.

How to use this STEN Loadout

We build this loadout for Aggressive playstyle, where you are the frontliner of the team who push to get as many eliminations points and move around the map as much as possible.

Having good aim and understanding the STEN recoil pattern also favors you, try your best to aim around the upper chest or head area if possible to get that lightning quick time-to-kill.

Having good knowledge of where to position yourself around the map for those close range fights also favors you since it can win most gunfights against the top meta weapons.

First thing you noticed is we add a suppressor to the weapon, when using this loadout in game, you will also have a slower fire rate compared to the first loadout, but you'll be able to control the weapon easier.

How to play this build effectively

We came up with this build for those that like to play more objective-based, where they want a powerful weapon but don't move around as much and only pick fight against enemies that contest their objective.

This STEN loadout will perfectly fit you and help you catch enemies by surprise as long as you have decent aim.

If you like this loadout but you feel that the fire rate is too slow, you can replace the ammunition and you're good to go.
