Volkssturmgewehr

The Volkssturmgewehr is an automatic rifle featured in Call of Duty: WWII and Call of Duty: Vanguard.

Call of Duty: WWII[]

"Automatic rifle with moderate fire rate and high recoil."

— Description

The Volkssturmgewehr was added to Call of Duty: WWII with The Resistance event on January 23rd, 2018.

Multiplayer[]

The base variant of the Volkssturmgewehr is unlocked by activating the Volkssturmgewehr special order from Major Howard in the Headquarters. The objective of the order is to play a total of fifty matches, whether or not the player wins or loses. After redeeming the order, the player will receive the base Volkssturmgewehr. One of the unlockable variants, the Resistor, can be unlocked by completing the Resistor collection in the Collections tab of the Quartermaster, while the other variants can be obtained via supply drops.

The Volkssturmgewehr is quite similar to the STG44. Compared to the STG44, the Volksturmgewehr has weaker handling traits. It has slightly slower sprint-out time and ADS time than the STG44, with slightly more recoil. However, the recoil is almost purely vertical and with even decent fire control the Volkssturmgewehr is incredibly accurate. Where the Volkssturmgewehr soars ahead of the STG44 is time to kill. It has the same damage and range as the STG44, but with a higher fire rate, leading to a noticeably faster killing weapon.

Attachment choices, as usual, depend on one's playstyle, but the Volk's slightly slower ADS time makes the Quickdraw Handle a worthy addition. A Grip will further reduce recoil for an incredibly accurate weapon. Extended Mags will increase capacity to 45 rounds, the same as the STG44 but still far above the other rifles. Another solid choice is Steady Aim, as the Volkssturmgewehr is tied with the BAR and FG 42 for the worst hipfire spread in class.

Nazi Zombies[]

The Volkssturmgewehr was added to the Mystery Box in the Prologue, The Final Reich, Gröesten Haus, The Darkest Shore, and The Shadowed Throne. Interestingly enough, the base Volkssturmgewehr obtained from the Headquarters special order has a different model in Zombies, having an appearance similar to the Defiance variant.

When upgraded via the Ubersprengen, it becomes the People's Storm, gaining increased damage, a larger magazine size, and more reserve ammunition. The Volkssturmgewehr, as well as the Reichsrevolver, Enfield No. 2, 9mm SAP, GPMG, Sten, Orso and Gewehr 43, are the only weapons to not have their attachments, variants or customization reset when prestiging in Nazi Zombies.
