Learn about the FG42, a powerful German AR in Call of Duty with a sniper scope and high damage. Find it in specific levels.

The FG42 is not a selectable weapon in Call of Duty; you must find it in certain levels in specific locations. This gun is considered by many to be the best in the game. It functions as an AR but is equipped with a sniper scope and can fire in either semi-automatic or full-automatic modes. It also deals a significant amount of damage.

You can utilize the FG42 in various ways. Some players prefer to use it as a light machine gun (LMG) and employ the scope for long-range observation, similar to binoculars. It is recommended to pick up this gun whenever you encounter it, as it is superior to other available weapons.

There isn't extensive special strategy required for this weapon beyond personal preference. The only minor drawback is its clip size, which is limited to 20 bullets. Remember to reload while you are under cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) (protection from enemy fire) to avoid being exposed.

Tips
  • Use the scope as binoculars to spot enemies from a distance.
  • Reload frequently due to the 20-bullet clip size, especially when behind cover.
  • The FG42 excels as both a semi-automatic and full-automatic weapon.
  • Its high damage makes it effective in most combat situations.
