Battlefield V PC Boxart Release Date: October 19, 2018 Developer: DICE Publisher: Electronic Arts Series: Battlefield Platforms: PC Playstation 4 XBOX One Genre: First-Person Shooter

Battlefield V is an upcoming first-person shooter developed by Swedish game developer DICE and published by Electronic Arts. It is a main series entry in EA's large-scale FPS Battlefield series, and is third entry to be set chiefly in World War 2 since Battlefield: 1943.

Note: current in-game images on this page are from the public beta.
The following weapons appear in the video game Battlefield V:

Overview

Like in previous Battlefield games, players can select one from four classes (Assault, Medic, Support and Recon). The Assault class wields semi-automatic or select-fire rifles, the Medic class uses submachine guns like in Battlefield: 1942, the Support class uses machine guns and shotguns, and the Recon class uses sniper rifles. These four roles are also fleshed out with the introduction of "Combat Roles", allowing players to customize their skills of each class for fulfilling niche roles (e.g. the Support class can specialize into the "Engineer" role and help build fortifications on the map with ease, etc.)

In Battlefield V, weapon customization has been expanded on since Battlefield 1. The weapon variant system is removed, and general weapon customization returns to a form similar to Battlefield 4. Cosmetic parts such as stocks can also be modified, in addition to simple cosmetic modifications such as weapon finishes.

Pistols

Colt M1911A1

An icon for the the Colt M1911A1 is seen in some promotional materials.

Luger P08

The Luger P08 is seen used by a German officer in the singleplayer teaser.

Pulling the slide to chamber a .32 round.

When crouched, the player character will adopt a two-handed grip on pistols in Battlefield V. This has actually been present in the third person animations in DICE's previous games since Star Wars Battlefront, though V is the first game to make this consistent between viewpoints.

Walther P38

A Walther P38 pistol is an all-class weapon in the public Alpha.

Walther P38 - 9x19mm

A Wehrmacht soldier holds his P38 pistol, as opposed to the can opener and fighter plane of the same name and era.

The Thompson on the right.

Sten Mk. II

The Sten Mk II is seen in the reveal trailer. In the open beta, it is used by the Medic class. It makes a distinct metallic sound when firing owing to its sheet-metal construction. The front sight of the Mk V variant can be unlocked in-game.

Sten Mk II - 9x19mm

When equipping the Sten, the player character sends the bolt out of its safety position. The MP40 has a similar animation.

Welgun

What seems to be a Welgun is seen in the "This is Battlefield V" trailer.

Shotguns

M30 Luftwaffe Drilling

The M30 Luftwaffe Drilling is seen in the Gamescom trailer. In the public beta, it is a support class primary weapon. Like in Call of Duty: WWII, the drilling's rifle barrel can be used as an ersatz sniper rifle.

Sauer & Sohn M30 Luftwaffe Drilling - 12 gauge, 9.3x74mmR

A first-person shot of the M30 from the "Devastation of Rotterdam" trailer.

Sjögren

A player character in the "The Company" trailer can be seen holding a Sjögren shotgun.

Sjögren - 12 gauge

Rifles

In Battlefield V, stripper clip-loaded weapons are realistically affected by the use of scopes; equipping a scope will block the magazine and prevent the use of stripper clips for reloading. (this issue is sidestepped in Battlefield 1, where all scopes are side-mounted)

FG 42

The Fallschirmjägergewehr 42 is seen in the Gamescom trailer. It is a Support weapon in the public beta.

FG 42 second model - 7.92x57mm Mauser

Gewehr 43

A Gewehr 43 is a self-loading rifle available in the game. In the Alpha, the weapon is equipped with a telescopic sight and is used by the Medic class. In the open beta, it is used by the Assault class. By default, the rifle is reloaded with stripper clips and loose rounds (like its predecessor), but can be upgraded to reload via separate magazines.

Aiming down the iron sights.

Pulling the bolt back to top off the G43's magazine. As with the previous game, the player character is wise and keeps the chambered round from ejecting.

Not to be outdone by the left arm, the right arm takes care of empty reloads.

Karabiner 98k

The Karabiner 98k is seen in released game footage and trailers, both with and without a scope.

Karabiner 98k - German manufacture 1937 date - 7.92x57mm Mauser

Karabiner 98k Sniper with Zeiss ZF42 scope - 7.92x57mm Mauser

Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I

The Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk 1* is a usable weapon in the beta. Note that the No.4 is technically anachronistic for the base game's setting in the Fall of Europe; the BEF was still using WWI-era SMLE Mk.III rifles during this time and the No.4 was not adopted until 1941.

Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I - .303 British

A Lee-Enfield No.4 MK.I getting rained on, in game. Note how it is held in the "mad-minute" posture (with the player character's right hand grasping the bolt handle), allowing for the highest fire rate possible.

Iron sights of the No.4.

Reloading with a charger clip.

M1/M1A1 Carbine

Some of the soldiers on the game's various cover arts wield M1 Carbines. The Gamescom trailer featured one M1 carbine with a side-folding stock, making it an M1A1 Carbine. The M1A1 is available for the assault class in the open beta. Thirty-round magazines can be unlocked for the Carbine as an upgrade tree option. As of yet, it is unknown if the M1 Carbine would be a separate weapon or a cosmetic variation of the M1A1 Carbine.

World War II Era M1 Carbine, with Dark Walnut Stock, 'L' peep sight and no bayonet lug - .30 Carbine. Also equipped with khaki sling and oiler and a period twin magazine pouch for buttstock.

M1A1 Carbine with original L style rear sights, and side-folding stock - .30 Carbine

Mauser Selbstlader M1916

The Mauser Selbstlader M1916 is confirmed to return from Battlefield 1 with the "Road to Battlefield V" community event, which featured an unlockable weapon skin for the M1916 in BF5.

Mauser Selbstlader M1916 - 7.92x57mm Mauser

Steyr Mannlicher M1895

The Steyr Mannlicher M1895 is confirmed to return from Battlefield 1 with the "Road to Battlefield V" community event, which featured an unlockable weapon skin for the M1895 in BF5.

Steyr Mannlicher M1895 - 8x50mmR Mannlicher

Sturmgewehr 44

A Sturmgewehr 44 is available for the Assault class. In the beta, one of the scope options rather oddly gives it the barrel assembly of the MKb 42(H), though the weapon retains its base stats otherwise and retains closed-bolt function.

Turner SMLE Conversion

The prototype semi-auto conversion for the SMLE by Russell J. Turner appears in the open beta as an Assault class weapon. By default, it reloads via charger clips and individual rounds, but it can be upgraded to allow the use of extra magazines or twenty round magazines from the Howell Automatic Rifle.

Prototype Turner-conversion SMLE - .303 British

Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr

An icon of a Volkssturmgewehr is seen in the "This is Battlefield V" trailer. A clip of the weapon in use can be seen in the Battlefield V Dev Talks video, where it fires automatically and is found with a foregrip, which is a feature of a very rare variation of the Volkssturmgewehr.

Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr - 7.92x33mm Kurz

ZH-29

The Czech ZH-29 is found in the public beta as a Recon class primary. It has a 5-round capacity and as with the other semi-automatic rifles, it reloads with stripper clips and loose ammo by default but can be upgraded with an extended 10-round magazine or with additional magazines.

ZH-29 with 5-round magazine - 7.92×57mm Mauser

Machine Guns

Bren Mk 1

The Bren Gun is a Support weapon.

Bren Mk1 - .303 caliber

Lewis Gun

The Lewis Gun is confirmed to return from Battlefield 1 with the "Road to Battlefield V" community event, which featured an unlockable weapon skin for the Lewis Gun in BF5.

Lewis Gun - .303 British

MG 34

The MG34 is found in the Alpha. Released game footage shows that the gun can overheat if fired for too long, and the player character will change the quick-change barrel if it overheats. Released game footage also shows that the MG34 cannot aim down sights while being carried by hand, requiring use of bipods to aim down sights.

MG34 with front and rear sights folded down - 7.92x57mm Mauser

MG42

The MG42 is used in the reveal trailer.

MG42 - 7.92x57mm Mauser

Picking up the MG42. Note the fore grip.

SIG KE7

The SIG KE7 light machine gun is used by the Support class. Seeing as the KE7 fires from an open bolt and also locks open when empty, the KE7's tactical and empty reloads are entirely identical, as there is never any need to touch the charging handle.

Vickers K

What seems to be a ground troop version of the Vickers K machine gun (Vickers G.O. No.2 Mk.1 Land Service) is found in the Gamescom trailer.

Vickers K Land Variant - .303 British

Flare Gun

Leuchtpistole

The Leuchtpistole can used by the scout class.

Leuchtpistole - 26.65mm

Launchers

Enfield Grenade launcher

The Enfield cup-type rifle grenade launcher mounted on a shortened SMLE is a dedicated gadget called "Grenade Rifle". It can be seen in the Gamescom trailer, and it is an Assault and Medic gadget in the public beta. The weapon functions differently from its previous gadget form in Battlefield 1 and more like the Blanch-Chevallier Grenade Discharger from that game, with the reload process involving the player character inserting a grenade and a blank into their weapon.

Vickers Mk 1

The Vickers Machine Gun is a buildable stationary heavy MG for the Allies. It uses the same base model/animations as its Battlefield 1 version, however its "visual recoil" (sight misalignment while firing) has been drastically reduced to the point of effectively being gone, as with all other guns in BFV. Additionally, as of the open Beta the name has been changed from simply "HMG" to "Vickers".
