OverviewEdit

The SG 552 is a fairly powerful assault rifle available exclusively to the Terrorists. Due to the AK-47 being $1000 cheaper and the SG552 having less damage per bullet, it's a much less commonly used weapon. However, it does not go without its fans, as many players will still use this weapon due to its good accuracy. It is an all-around weapon in terms of statistics and popularity.

GameplayEdit

TacticsEdit

• Use this weapon at full auto and aim for the chest when at close range
• When at long range, use the scope. When zoomed, the gun has a lower rate of fire but better accuracy so use this to your advantage.
• Notably, when the zoom-in function is used, the recoil is much higher thus some players tend to not use the scope at all.
• Do not spray bullets when you are using the scope. The recoil associated with the Krieg 552 can disorientate users and lead to a severe decline in accuracy, in a firefight, getting the recoil too high can spell your doom.
• Crouch and burst fire 3 shots to gain more chances of hitting your enemy.
• Use 3-round burst at medium range due to its spread.
• If possible, aim for the head by either spraying at close ranges or use the scope to increase accuracy for long ranges.
• Players should be aware in how to use the scope. In certain maps, it may not be wise to use the scope at all.
• In comparison to the AUG, the Krieg 552 inflicts slightly more damage and has shorter reload time but has higher spread and recoil.

CountertacticsEdit

• Avoid all close and medium contact with its users.
• Try long range weapons, particularly on small maps with good sight lines, like Office and Dust.
• More powerful rifles with a higher firing rate, such as the the AK-47, can be used aganist Kreig 552 users.
• Use fully automatic weapons that has lower recoil such as the M4A1
