The SG553 is a Carbine featured in Battlefield 3.
Singleplayer[]
In Singleplayer, the SG553 appears in the hands of a GIGN officers during Comrades, and one with no attachments is encountered near the end of The Great Destroyer. The SG553 has high damage and high rate of fire with virtually nonexistent recoil; it is far more manageable than most other automatic rifles even on full auto.
Multiplayer[]
The SG553 is unlocked for multiplayer when an overall score of 120,000 points in Co-op mode is reached. Formerly (before the R3 patch), 378,000 points were required to be achieved in Co-Op. It is the sixth weapon unlocked from Co-Op. It features a 30-round magazine and is capable of fully automatic, 3-round burst, and semi automatic fire. Due to its low recoil, the gun performs well at medium and close ranges. Much of the recoil this gun has is somewhat strong rightwards recoil, which is greatly helped by using the Foregrip attachment, which significantly reduces this sideways recoil. The Heavy Barrel attachment can help with its slow muzzle velocity to increase its long range potential. Overall, the SG553 is an excellent weapon and is ideal for aggressive gameplay on the move.
The iron sights on this weapons are clear and easy to use; therefore, this gun may be a good match for those who prefer to use iron sights.
