Astaroth .57 Stats & Apex — MW4 Patch 1.0 / Oct 2026 Meta — Sniper Rifle · unlocks at 25 · 54 levels to the Apex
The Astaroth .57 is a sniper rifle running 34 RPM and 3-round magazine. It opens at player level 25 and needs 54 weapon levels before its Apex Attachment comes into play, the Astaroth Infiltrator. Inside the sniper rifle class it is the 2nd to unlock out of 3, and its level track is the 3rd longest of 3.
We do not run in-game tests. Values come from official statements cross-checked against community sources: This page publishes only the values that appear in the official progression table: class, slot, unlock level, max weapon level, fire rate, magazine size and the Apex Attachment. Per-slot attachment builds and damage readouts are not published for this weapon, so they are omitted rather than estimated. Method and limitations: /about.
Astaroth .57 Stats — MW4
| Weapon Class | Sniper Rifle · Primary |
|---|---|
| Player Unlock Level | 25 Lv [OFFICIAL] |
| Max Weapon Level | 54 Lv [OFFICIAL] |
| Fire Rate | 34 RPM [OFFICIAL] |
| Magazine | 3 RDS [OFFICIAL] |
We publish no TTK figure for any MW4 weapon. Activision does not release TTK values, the public estimates disagree with each other, and we do not run in-game measurements — so the row is omitted rather than filled with a number we cannot stand behind.
Where the Astaroth .57 Sits Among Sniper Rifles
Every number below is computed from the same table the rest of this site uses, so you can check it against the full weapon list rather than taking a ranking on faith. There are 3 weapons in the Sniper Rifle class.
- Player unlock order
- 2nd of 3
- Later than KG-7 Vulcan (4)
- Max weapon level
- 54
- 3rd longest track in the class (class high: 75 on the KG-7 Vulcan)
- Fire rate
- 34 RPM
- 3rd of 3
- Magazine
- 3 rounds
- 3rd of 3
Rank is not a verdict. A weapon that loses on fire rate can still be the right pick if its recoil pattern suits you, and this table deliberately stops at the figures that are published rather than inventing a composite score — a made-up score is how a lot of weapon tier lists end up disagreeing with the game.
Best Astaroth .57 Loadout — FAQ
Q1 What player level unlocks the Astaroth .57? +
Level 25. That makes it the 2nd of 3 Sniper Rifles to open, behind KG-7 Vulcan (4). Create-a-Class itself unlocks at level 4, so nothing on this page is reachable before that.
Q2 How many weapon levels does the Astaroth .57 need to max? +
54. Within Sniper Rifles that is the 3rd longest track, against a class high of 75 on the KG-7 Vulcan. You only need the last level for the Apex Attachment; everything before it is attachments and camos.
Q3 What is the Astaroth .57's Apex Attachment? +
Astaroth Infiltrator — Radio-wave scan that outlines enemies behind cover. It unlocks at weapon level 54, does not consume a Gunsmith slot, and changes how the weapon behaves rather than nudging a stat. Astaroth Infiltrator is exclusive to this weapon: no other gun has it.
Q4 How does the Astaroth .57 rate against other Sniper Rifles? +
At 34 RPM it is 3rd of 3 on fire rate, and 3rd of 3 on magazine size at 3 rounds. Those are the two figures the official tables actually publish, which is why we rank on them and not on damage or TTK — Activision does not release a per-weapon damage table, and we do not measure in game.
Q5 Which weapons unlock at the same player level as the Astaroth .57? +
The Astaroth .57 is the only weapon that unlocks at player level 25, so there is no bundle to plan around here.
Q6 How many camos does the Astaroth .57 have? +
15 in the weapon layer: 8 Military camos from weapon level, 3 Special camos from per-weapon challenges, and 4 Completionist stages (Gold, Platinum, Harmonic Break, Divergence). Progress is shared between Multiplayer and DMZ, and Warzone joins the same track in Season 1.
Q7 Is the Astaroth .57 progress shared across modes? +
Yes. Weapon levels, attachments and camo progress are one track that fills from Multiplayer and DMZ alike; Warzone joins it in Season 1. The only thing that splits by mode is the mastery camo tier, which sits above Divergence and has a separate set for each mode.
Q8 Is the Astaroth .57 one of the Vault Edition signature weapons? +
No. The Astaroth .57 is part of the standard launch arsenal, so it is unlocked through player level 25 like any other weapon and needs no edition or purchase.
Available from player level 25, finished at weapon level 54. If the Astaroth Infiltrator is what you are after, that is the number to plan around — everything before it is attachments and camos.
