The Saboteur

The Saboteur PC Boxart Release Date: 2009 Developer: Pandemic Studios Publisher: Electronic Arts Platforms: PC, PS3, X360 Genre: Action-adventure

The Saboteur is a 2009 action-adventure developed by the now closed Pandemic Studios, published by Electronic Arts, about an Irish race driver turned saboteur (loosely based on the real life race car driver turned SOE agent William Grover-Williams) who tries to avenge the death of his best friend in Nazi-occupied France by killing the man responsible, demolishing as much of the Third Reich's hardware as possible in the process.

The following weapons appear in the video game The Saboteur:

Handguns

Luger P08

The Luger P08 appears as the "Kruger pistol". Due to the length of the barrel, it's more like a Marine version of the pistol with a 150 mm barrel (shorter than Artillery model with a 200 mm barrel). Uses pistol ammo.

Luger P08 Custom

Dierker, the main villain, uses a modified version of Luger P08, called the "Executioner pistol". It has a brass-knuckles-like finger guard, a knife attached to the base plate of the magazine and fires fully automatic; it's Dierker's weapon of choice and can be obtained by killing him, or be bought from any Weapons Dealer after the game is finished. It, too, uses pistol ammo and is able to take out pretty much any human enemy in one shot.

Mle 1892 Revolver

The ".44 Pistol" it seems to be a Mle 1892 Revolver. It has a long target barrel. Strangely it uses the same ammo as both the Kruger and the Raum pistols. It is a one-shot kill weapon, although Mle 1892 was never issued in .44 caliber, and his 8x27mm ammo on the contrary were considered not powerful enough. Sean calls it a "Yankee Hand Cannon" (that somehow contradicts its origin) and states that "One shot will turn the Krauts insides into Shepherd's pie. But watch out. She's a bitch to reload."

Walther PPK

The Walther PPK appears as the "Silenced pistol". The suppressor and the weapon description stating that this weapon was popular among British spies is obviously a reference to James Bond. Uses silenced pistol ammo. The resistance leader Margot Bonnaire also wields a PPK without a suppressor at the ambushed meeting of Maquis faction chiefs.

Submachine Guns

MP40

Appears as the MP40. Both the Resistance and the German military uses it. Sean says it "is as common as hookers in Paris, and seen about as much action", which is somewhat inaccurate in real life.

Mauser Gewehr 1898

The Mauser Gewehr 1898 appears as the "Steiner Rifle" (a possibly nod to Cross of Iron, as the protagonist was named Steiner). It uses rifle ammo. A scoped version also appears, which uses sniper ammo. Both versions incorrectly are semi-auto in-game

Mauser Karabiner 98K

The Karabiner 98K appears as the "Carbine" (which is inaccurate since it's rifle). A scoped version is available. The normal (unscoped) version uses rifle ammo, the scoped version uses sniper rifle ammo. The "Carbine" also seems to have the magazine of a Lee-Enfield SMLE which is detached and replaced when reloading.

Sturmgewehr 44

The Sturmgewehr 44 appears as the "MP44 MG". Shares the ammo with the MP40 and the Tommy gun, which is definitely unrealistic. The first appearance in the game took place during the Battle of France in 1940, a full 2 years before appeared first Haenel MKb 42(H) "machine carbine" prototype.

„Terror MP60”

The "Terror MP60" is a fictional automatic weapon, resembling a bulkier Sturmgewehr 44. This weapon used by the "Terror troops", German elite soldiers. Despite being labelled as an "MP" (Maschinenpistole/Submachine gun), it rather resembles a light machine gun. It has a 150-round drum magazine and uses Terror MG ammo.

"Terror Shotgun"

An automatic shotgun, resembling the AA-12 and other modern combat shotguns. The one of the fictional weapons used by the "Terror troops". Uses Terror shotgun ammo. Again this is unrealistic for the German military at the time because they and most of the other European powers don't use shotguns in their military.

Winchester Model 1912

The Winchester Model 1912 appears as the "Trench gun", although the M1912 in game is an ordinary field shotgun, and, moreover, is based on an anachronistic post-war model. It is also unusually carried by some German soldiers, what is unrealistic because the German military officially had always detested the use of shotguns in warfare.

Machine guns

MG42

The Maschinengewehr Model 42 is seen mounted on Kübelwagen and in fortified positions. The front end looks like the MG42, but the back end looks like the Browning M2 machine gun.

Cut Weapons

The certain weapons were removed before the game's final release for unknown reasons. This weapons has been kept fairly secret because of this and could only be found by modifying the game. Based on The Saboteur Wiki's information.

Sawn-off Double Barrel Shotgun

The Sawn-off Double Barrel Shotgun was to appear in the game, but then for some reason, it has been removed. Compared with conventional Double Barrel Shotgun, it uses a scatter shot firing system with a vastly shorter range but increased damage at short range.

Stevens 311R (sawed-off) - 12 gauge

The weapon when used shares the same HUD icon, as and Trenchgun, further suggesting it's place as a weapon that had been tested but later decided to be removed before release.

Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I Sniper Variant

The scoped Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I rifle is an interesting weapon in the game. While it can't be accessed in ordinary game, it can be found behind the counter at the entrance of the Belle. In gameplay, while an interesting addition to the arsenal, is fairly underwhelming in it's damage. This leads one to believe that it may have been intended for early game use as it often takes multiple shots to kill and on stronger enemies a shot to the head might not be enough. The Lee Enfield's accuracy is also fairly low, making the issue with damage worse.

Thompson M1A1

The M1A1 Thompson with normal 30-round box magazine also had to appears in the game, but then for some reason, it has been removed. All appearances, it was initially planned that the M1A1 with a 50-round drum would appear at a late stage of the game, as "update" for ordinary M1A1 Thompson; but this did not happen, and in the release version of the game Thompson with a drum magazine is available from the beginning, as a base version.

Sten Mk II

The unsuppressed variant of the Sten Mk II submachine gun was also removed. It is would be effective only at an early game's stage, due to small damage.

Sten Mk II - 9x19mm
