Basics[]
A less effective, less reliable piece of history for a fair price for it's performance.
The Sterling is the third cheapest SMG in the game behind the MP18 and Skorpion. It comes with an below average rate of fire and damage and a decent magazine size. These traits can all be improved with upgrades, but most would agree the Sterling is a mediocre weapon that is ill-suited for the later phases of a round.

Strategies[]
Notorious for being extremely under-performing.
- Never buy this weapon as its stats is underwhelming (Seriously, just don't).
- But, in case you do buy this weapon, it's probably best to have Concealed Carry to allow it to be more effective in combat. Other perks that enhance critical hits furthermore may help as well.
Trivia[]

- Used to have the display position and cost of the Micro Uzi before they swapped places during Canyon 3.0 update
