The SG553, a slightly improved version of

the SG552, is the SBR (Short Barrel Rifle) version of the SIG SG550. It fires the 5.56x45mm NATO round from a 5, 10, 20 or 30 round magazine at 700 RPM. The LB version sports a slightly longer barrel to mount bayonets and grenade launchers. The SIG SG550 (Sturmgewehr 90) is the official rifle of the Swiss army and was designed for arctic conditions, making it a very reliable weapon. The SG553 was made for more urban environments, where its shorter length makes it a formidable close range tool. Even with its short barrel, the rifle is highly accurate out to ~200-250 meters.

"A Carbine variant of the Swiss Army's standard SG550 rifle, the SG553 improves over its predecessor the well-known SG552 by including integrated rails for mounting accessories. A Carbine with excellent ergonomics, the SG553 is capable of Automatic, 3 Round Burst, and Semi-Automatic fire and is an excellent close range weapon." — Battlelog description

The SG553 was listed on the four page fact sheet released by EA at Gamescom. It was also seen in Battleblog #8 as an example of the weapon customization in the game, sporting various attachments.

SingleplayerEdit

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.

MultiplayerEdit

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. Overall, the SG553 is an excellent weapon and is ideal for aggressive gameplay on the move.

The iron sights on this weapons are unobstructive and easy to use; therefore, this gun may be a good match for those who prefer to use iron sights.

TriviaEdit
