Krieg 552

The Krieg 552, more commonly referred to as the SG 552, is a rifle featured in all of the Counter-Strike games except Global Offensive, exclusive to the Terrorists. The counterpart for the Counter-Terrorists is the AUG. In Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, it was replaced by the SG 553.

Overview

The Krieg 552 is moderate weight weapon. While wielded, the player's movement speed is 230 units per second (default speed is 250), meaning they suffer moderate-heavy speed reduction. While zoomed in, their movement speed is 200 units per second. The Krieg 552 is one of the many weapons able to shoot underwater.

Tactics

Use this weapon at full auto and aim for the chest when at close range to score a headshot.
If possible, aim directly for the head by either spraying at close ranges or use the scope to increase accuracy for long ranges.
Some users may prefer to spray bullets with this rifle than with the CV-47, as the Krieg 552 has less recoil and is more accurate.
Burst fire 3 rounds at medium range is recommended for landing hits on opponents due to its spread.
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. Due to this nature, shooting at short bursts or individual shots can mimic auto-sniper legally, though the scope reaches a shorter range and deals less damage per shot.
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, making recoil too high can spell your doom.
Players should be aware in how to use the scope. In certain maps, it may not be wise to use the scope at all. Like the AUG, the player's view will be slightly shrunk while zoomed in with the scope.
In comparison to the AUG, the Krieg 552 inflicts slightly more damage and has a shorter reload time but has higher spread and recoil. However, the recoil problem of the Krieg 552 can be overcome when firing in bursts.
Like its CT counterpart, the Krieg 552 is a soild choice for defending areas.

Appearances

The Krieg 552 appears in the following missions:

Secret War: Shortly after escaping the fuel dump explosion, the player will enter an area where the roof collapsed, and, dropping down to advance, will find the rifle next to a dead Arctic Avenger. Another Krieg 552 can be found lying next to another dead Avenger immediately after using the elevator, but picking it up will have no effect if the player already has the rifle.
Downed Pilot: Next to the generator the player must activate to lower a minecart to proceed. The rifle is lost when the player is captured.
Pipe Dream: On a crate in a garage where a stack of explosive barrels must be blown up to advance.
