How do you unlock the MP44?

The MP44 unlocks at Level 52 in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. It is a powerful late-rank automatic rifle with strong damage, no idle sway and a deliberately slow fire rate. It behaves like a slower, rougher AK-47 and works best through controlled bursts. It accepts no attachments, so its performance depends entirely on positioning, recoil control and perk selection. Its camo track finishes at Red Tiger (150 headshots with this weapon).

How does the MP44 play in COD4?

RoleHeavy automatic assault rifle
StrengthsStrong 40-to-30 damage rewards accurate hits; No idle sway makes the stock sight picture stable before firing
TradeoffsHigh recoil makes long automatic strings unreliable; No weapon attachments are available
Useful setupThe MP44 must be used stock because it has no compatible attachments; Short bursts and recoil-conscious perk choices matter more than trying to force sustained fire
Camo tipFire two- or three-round bursts at head height and concentrate on its Expert headshot challenges. The MP44 has no Marksman attachment challenges, but its headshots still count toward assault-rifle Gold.
Compared withIt shares the AK-47's strong base damage but fires slower, recoils harder and cannot equip attachments.
