Battlefield V is a 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 the third entry to be set chiefly in World War 2 since Battlefield: 1943.
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 faster 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 and slow semi-automatic 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.
Because of how the multiplayer maps and singleplayer levels span across a wide array of specific time periods across World War II, and the fact that there is no map, faction, or chronology-based restrictions for player loadouts, only major anachronisms will be noted on this page.
Handguns
Colt M1911A1
The Colt M1911A1 is one of the sidearms in the game. In singleplayer, an M1911 is used by the machine gunner in the final act of "My Country Calling", and Billy Bridger carries one as his sidearm in the "Under No Flag" War story. A suppressed version is also available in the Nordlys War Story.
FP-45 Liberator
The FP-45 Liberator is a sidearm in the game, serving as a joke weapon much like BF1's Kolibri pistol. It is available at Rank 19 of any class.
Luger P08
The Luger P08 is a sidearm available in the game. The top of the pistol is marked with the manufacturer's code "S/42", which corresponds to Mauser-made P08s, and the year 1908.
Ruby
The Ruby is a secondary option in the game. A Ruby pistol is Deme Cisse's backup weapon in the "Tirailleur" War Story.
Steyr M1912
The Steyr M1912 returns from Battlefield 1. The non-empty reload animation is updated from the previous game; the player character orients the pistol to the left and catches ejected rounds in his left palm instead of dumping them away. This is probably a nod to the Attrition system.
Walther P38
A Walther P38 pistol is the starter sidearm in Battlefield V. In "The Last Tiger" War Story, Peter Müller uses one in gameplay as his sidearm.
Webley Mk VI
The Webley Mk VI is found in BFV as an all-kit sidearm, unlocked at Rank 15 of any class. It has the highest damage output of all sidearms.
Submachine Guns
Erma EMP
An Erma EMP is a submachine gun available in BFV, unlocked at Rank 13 of the Medic class.
Haenel-Schmeisser MP28/II
The Haenel-Schmeisser MP28/II (an improved version of the Bergmann MP18 Submachine Gun) is found in Battlefield V. The weapon by default uses 30 round magazines, but can be upgraded to use 50 round magazines.
MP40
The MP40 is featured in the multiplayer as an available SMG for the Medic class. It is almost identical to the Sten, having similar fire rates and damage models, but the MP40 has lesser control than the Sten.
M1928A1 Thompson
The M1928A1 Thompson is found in BFV, available at Rank 20 of the Medic class. An M1928A1 with a 50-round drum magazine is a starting weapon for the "Under No Flag" War Story, and many of the American soldiers in "The Last Tiger" story carry Thompsons with either the drum or stick mags.
Sten Mk. II
The Sten Mk II is used by the Medic class at Rank 0. It makes a distinct metallic sound when firing owing to its sheet-metal construction.
The skeletal pistol grip made for the Sten is available as customization for various weapons as the "Sten commando grip".
Steyr MP34
The Steyr MP34 is another SMG in BFV, unlocked at Medic Rank 16.
Suomi KP/-31
The Suomi KP/-31 is the second available SMG for the Medic class with a 20 round stick magazine. On the third rank it can be upgraded with a 50 quad-stack "coffin" magazine. However, the Suomi has the highest rate of fire for the SMGs with 770 rpm.
Shotguns
Browning Auto-5
The Browning Auto-5 returns from Battlefield 1, now used by the Support class. Due to the introduction of the Specialization Tree, it is now possible to have a combination of both slugs and extended magazine tube on this weapon. The reload animation has been updated to correctly show the user holding the bolt release button with his left hand while reloading, as is necessary on pre-1950s Browning A-5 shotguns.
M30 Luftwaffe Drilling
The M30 Luftwaffe Drilling 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.
Sjögren
A player character in the "The Company" trailer can be seen holding a Sjögren shotgun. The shotgun is currently not present in BFV.
Winchester Model 1897
The Winchester Model 1897 Trench Gun returns from Battlefield 1 for the Support class, and was given to all players for free by December 19, 2018. It is the slowest firing shotgun in the game.
By default, it cannot be slam fired, but can be specialized to do so at Rank 4. Alternately, a bayonet can be equipped.
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 (an issue that Battlefield 1 side-stepped by side-mounting all scopes). The sole exception is the Steyr Mannlicher M1895/30, as its en-bloc clip function required the scope be mounted forward of the ejection port to not obstruct clip feeding/ejection.
AG-42 Ljungman
The AG-42 Ljungman is set to appear with the "Overture" update.
De Lisle Carbine
The De Lisle Carbine appears in the game as the "Commando Carbine". It is currently only found in the single player campaign.
FG 42
The FG 42 is categorized as an LMG and used by the Support at Rank 16.
The pressed steel dovetail "Schwalbenschwanz" mount, which in reality was intended to mount a ZF4 scope to the 2nd pattern FG 42, is used to mount the MKIII reflector sight to various weapons. The FG 42 muzzle is also used as a visual modification to the "muzzle" component of other weapons.
Gewehr 43
A Gewehr 43 is a self-loading rifle available in the game, used by the Assault class at Rank 1. By default, the rifle is reloaded with stripper clips and loose rounds (like its predecessor), but can be upgraded to reload via separate magazines.
Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr
Two versions of the Volkssturmgewehr are featured as Assault primaries. The first is the rare, experimental select-fire version (of disputed existence), featured as the "Sturmgewehr 1-5"; the second is the much more common (and verifiably existing) semi-auto only version, featured as the "Gewehr 1-5". Their names in the files are "Gustloff AR" and "Gustloff", respectively. The select-fire and semi-auto versions are featured as the starting weapon and the final weapon unlock, respectively, for the Assault class in the multiplayer mode.
It is a bizarre choice as a release weapon; the release multiplayer maps all set in the early war during the Fall of Europe, while the Volkssturmgewehr was made during the final years of WWII as a last-ditch weapon.
Karabiner 98k
The Karabiner 98k is a Recon class weapon found in BFV, available at Rank 20.
Its scope options include iron sights, ZF4 scope (Medium Scope), ZF42 scope (Long Scope), and an Aperture sight. The ZF4 scope is mounted with a late war Swept-Back style sniper mount similar to the Kar98k rifles made by J. P. Sauer and Sohns at the very end of WWII, which saw very limited use before the war ended.
Some German soldiers use the Kar98K in the singleplayer. The Senegalese colonial troops alternate between holding these and the Ross rifle in cutscenes of the "Tirailleur" War Story. A suppressed version is available in the Nordlys and Under No Flag chapters.
Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I
The Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk 1* is the starter Recon rifle in Battlefield V.
Luger rifle
The prototype Luger 1906 returns from Battlefield 1 as a Recon primary, and is set to appear with the "Overture" update.
Krag-Jørgensen M1894
The Krag-Jørgensen M1894 is used by the Recon at Rank 13.
M1A1 Carbine
The M1A1 Carbine is used by the Assault class. Thirty-round magazines can be unlocked for the Carbine as an upgrade tree option.
Some of the soldiers on the game's various cover arts wield M1 Carbines with solid stocks. As of yet, it is unknown if the M1 Carbine would be a separate weapon, a cosmetic variation of the M1A1 Carbine, or as a cover art-only weapon.
Mauser Gewehr 1898
The Mauser Gewehr 1898 is seen during the intro of "My Country Calling".
Mauser Selbstlader M1916
The Mauser Selbstlader M1916 returns from Battlefield 1 as a Rank 16 Assault weapon.
Remington Model 8
The .35 Remington version of the Remington Model 8 returns from Battlefield 1, unlocked at Recon Rank 1. When a scope is equipped, it blocks the stripper clip guide. Some of the Armory images of weapon skins on rifle show it with the extended magazine of the .25 version that was in the previous game.
Ribeyrolles 1918
The Ribeyrolles 1918 Automatic Carbine returns from Battlefield 1 for the Assault class, given to all players for free by December 17, 2018.
While having the slowest fire rate of all assault rifles at 540 RPM, it is the most accurate of them all because of its bipod capability.
R.S.C. Mle 1917
The R.S.C. Mle 1917 semi-automatic Rifle returns from Battlefield 1, available at Recon Rank 16.
Ross Mk III
Bizarrely, the Ross Mk III is seen used by French troops in most of the cutscenes of the "Tirailleur" war story, but is unusable in gameplay. Towards the end, Deme picks up one in a first person viewpoint of a cutscene, but it morphs into the Turner SMLE once control is given over to the player. The Tirailleur riflemen actually use the Lee-Enfield No. 4 in actual gameplay instead. A more accurate rifle for the Senegalese colonial troops would have been either the MAS-36 or the Lebel 1886 from the previous game, or even the RSC 1917 would probably be more fitting than the Canadian Ross rifle for cutscene use.
Steyr Mannlicher M1895/30
The Steyr Mannlicher M1895 returns from Battlefield 1 in period-appropriate form as the M95/30 variant. Unlike its World War I incarnation, the Mannlicher fires at only 58 RPM, and the reload animation reflects lessons learned from the Carcano M1891 Carbine from Battlefield 1, with the enbloc clip pulled out first before inserting a new one when three or less shots have been fired. The clip is correctly absent when reloading on the fourth shot whereas it was still ejected in BF1 despite both games having the correct audio for the clip dropping out of the magazine.
In the singleplayer, it can be found often at weapon crates and caches as a scoped sniper rifle.
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 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 "trench" magazines.
Winchester Model 1907
The French WWI-service select-fire converted Winchester Model 1907 returns from BF1 as the "M1907 SF". Its full-auto cyclic rate of fire has been increased to its historical rate of 700RPM, but is balanced out with a smaller 15-round magazine by default. The higher-capacity 20-round magazines can be acquired by selecting the relevant specialization from the weapon's spec tree.
ZH-29
The ZH-29 is found as a Recon class primary at Rank 10. 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.
Machine Guns
Machine Guns in Battlefield V use some interesting categories. Light Machine Guns are a separate category from Medium Machine Guns. The two categories don't necessarily reflect the real-life weapon categories, but instead reflect gameplay features: LMGs do not overheat and have smaller capacities, and can aim down sights like other weapons. MMGs have much larger capacities, can overheat, and cannot aim down sights while being carried by hand, requiring use of bipods to aim down sights.
The overheating animation is depicted more realistically for the most part, where instead of the Support soldier giving the charging handle a quick rack to "clear the heat", they will instead replace the quick-change barrel. However, the Vickers K still uses the charging handle heat-clearing animation, as it lacks a quick-change barrel.
In the current version of the game, the KE7, Bren Gun, FG42, and Lewis Gun are placed in the LMG category. The MG 34 and 42, as well as the Vickers K, are in the MMG category.
Bren Mk 1
The Bren Gun is a Support LMG.
The Bren muzzle is also used as a visual modification of the "muzzle" component of other weapons.
Chauchat Mle 1915
The Chauchat Mle 1915 Light Machine Gun returns from Battlefield 1. Currently, it is only usable in the "Tirailleur" singleplayer War Story, and is Deme's primary weapon despite him wielding bolt-action rifles in the story's cutscenes. A few of the other colonial soldiers in the story also carry Chauchat machine guns. In his narration, Deme alludes to its use when he describes their weapons as inferior and "not up to the job."
Lewis Gun
The Lewis Gun LMG returns from Battlefield 1. It can be fitted with a 97-round extended magazine (which is now fully modeled unlike in Battlefield 1's Lewis Gun Suppressive). With the extended magazine, the standard iron sights are changed to a simpler ring sight akin to an AA sight.
The default Lewis Gun has its barrel cooling shroud taken off and includes a handguard, but customizing its barrel brings back the original barrel shroud.
Maxim MG 08/15
Unusable Maxim MG08/15s are seen on the shooting range.
MG34
The MG34 is a medium machine gun in BFV, unlocked at Rank 1 of the Support class. It fires at 670 RPM, which is correct as the early MG34 has selectable fire rates in its pistol grip. The Light Bolt specialization bumps the fire rate up to 770 RPM, and can also be fitted with a 100 round belt or a 75-round Patronentrommel drum. The latter removes the top cover and has a faster reload time.
It overheats at 50 rounds, when using a belt. Overheating the gun triggers a barrel change animation that shows the receiver pulled sideways and the glowing hot barrel replaced with a cooler one. If the drum magazine specialization is selected, the "chrome lining" (slower overheat) spec must also be selected; this raises the overheat threshold to 76 continuous rounds, meaning it's impossible to overheat the gun when using the 75-round magazine.
MG42
The MG42 is a medium machine gun in BFV. Unlocked at Support Rank 20, it fires at 981 RPM (1200 RPM with Light Bolt specialization), making it the most uncontrollable gun yet fast to kill enemies when the bipod is deployed. It can handle 50 or 250 round belts depending on specialization equipped. When overheated, the player character uses a used brass casing to pull the hot barrel out and replace it with a new one.
A special post-1943 muzzle brake for the MG42, shown in the book Tactical and Technical Trends, No. 57, April 1945, is available as a visual modification of the "muzzle" component of the MG42 and other weapons.
SIG KE7
The SIG KE7 light machine gun is used by the Support class at Rank 0. 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
The ground troop version of the Vickers K machine gun (Vickers G.O. No.2 Mk.1 Land Service) is added in the first Tides of War chapter as a MMG. It is called the VGO (Vickers Gas Operated), and fires from a 60-round drum magazine at 830 RPM, lower than the real 900 RPM.
Flare Gun
Leuchtpistole
The Leuchtpistole can be used by the Recon class.
Launchers
Enfield Grenade launcher
The Enfield cup-type rifle grenade launcher mounted on a modified shortened SMLE model from the previous game (with the stock also sawn-off and wire wrapping around the gun like in this example) is a dedicated gadget called "Grenade Rifle". It is used by the Assault and Medic classes, with the former using HE grenades and the latter using smoke grenades. The weapon functions differently from its previous gadget form in Battlefield 1 and more like the Blanch-Chevallier Grenade Discharger from the Turning Tides expansion, with the reload process involving the player character inserting a grenade and a blank into their weapon.
Panzerfaust
The Panzerfaust is an anti-tank gadget for the Assault class. In the single player stories, it is heavily used by both sides, including American soldiers in "The Last Tiger."
Panzerschreck
A German soldier is seen carrying a Panzerschreck in the reveal trailer.
PIAT
The PIAT is available as an Assault class gadget at Rank 11. It can also be used as a mortar due to the projectile drop being similar to a mortar.
Sturmpistole
The Sturmpistole is an available gadget for the Support class, named "AT Grenade Pistol", firing Panzerwurfkörper 42 LP grenades.
Luftfaust
A Luftfaust is seen in promotional materials.
Flamethrowers
Wechselapparat M1917
In single player, German flame-thrower wielding troops are armed with a bastardization of the wand of a Wechselapparat M1917 from BF1 and what appears to be fuel tanks from a M2 Flamethrower. Presumably this contraption is a stand-in for the Flammenwerfer 35. Similar to the Wechselapparat M1917-using Flame Troopers in Battlefield 1, enemy soldiers armed with this flamethrower are more resistant to gunfire than standard infantry, though this time they do not wear any visible armor.
Grenades & Explosives
Mills Bomb
The Mills Bomb is the standard grenade for the British Empire.
Mk. II frag grenade
Some Mk 2 hand grenades are seen in the reveal trailer.
M18 Smoke Grenade
The M18 Smoke Grenade is the smoke grenade for both factions. Its appearance in a World War II setting is anachronistic as it was introduced in the early 1950s in reality. A more period appropriate smoke grenade would have been the M16.
It is also found on the Royal Motivations outfit.
Model 24 Stielhandgranate
A Model 24 Stielhandgranate is the Frag Grenade for Germany. A bundled charge version is available as the "Anti-Tank Bundle Grenade", this time placed as an option in the grenade slot instead of a gadget like in BF1.
Model 39 Eihandgranate
The Model 39 Eihandgranate appears as the "Impact Grenade" for the Germans.
No. 69 High-Explosive Grenade
The No. 69 High-Explosive Grenade appears as the "Impact Grenade" for the Allied.
No. 74 ST Grenade
The No. 74 ST Grenade is an available grenade.
S-Mine
The S-Mine appears as a default gadget for the Recon class and is unlockable for all classes.
Tellermine 42
The Tellermine 42 is a gadget available for the Assault and Support class. The mine also rather comically serves as the "head" of the targets in the Practice Range resulting in explosive headshots.
Mounted Weapons
2cm FlaK 38
2cm FlaK 38 AA guns can be used in the game. The Flakvierling 38 variant is mounted on the "Wirbelwind" AA tank.
7.5 cm Pak 40
The 7.5 cm Pak 40 AT gun is the standard AT gun for the Germans.
8.8 cm Flak
Several 8.8 cm FlaKs can be seen on multiplayer maps and in the second chapter of the Tirailleur champaign.
21 cm-Mörser 18
Several German 21-cm-Mörser 18 howitzers can be used and destroyed in the "Grand Operation" multiplayer mode.
Besa
The Besa machine gun is mounted on a British tanks.
Bren Mk 1
Several British vehicles have Bren Guns with drum magazines mounted for anti-infantry use.
Bofors 40mm
The Bofors 40mm is mounted on the British Valentine AA tank.
Browning M2HB
American Sherman tanks in "The Last Tiger" War Story have Browning M2HB machine guns in their turret pintle mounts.
Ordnance QF 6-pounder
The Allied counterpart to the PaK 40 is the British Ordnance QF 6-pounder Anti-Tank gun.
MG34
An MG34 machine gun with saddle drum magazines can be seen mounted on top of German vehicles, and the Panzerlauf variant is mounted in the hulls and coaxial mounts of the Panzer 38, Panzer IV, and Tiger I tanks.
Oerlikon 20mm Cannon
The Valentine AA tank can be upgraded with Oerlikon 20mm Cannons.
Vickers Mk 1
The Vickers Machine Gun is a buildable stationary heavy MG for both factions. 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.
The bulbous post-1940 Mark II blast deflector for the Vickers is available as a visual modification of the "muzzle" component of various weapons.
ZB-53 / Vz.37
The Czech ZB-53 / Vz.37 is mounted on the Panzer 38(t).
Cosmetic Modifications
The following weapons do not appear as full weapons, and only parts of them appear as cosmetic modifications in BFV.
Colt Monitor
The cutts compensator from a Colt Monitor is available as a visual modification of the "muzzle" component of various weapons.
Sten Mk V
The Sten Mk V barrel shroud and front sights are featured as the "Peacekeeper" visual modification of the Sten's "barrel" component.
Sten Mk I
The Sten Mk I muzzle and stock are featured as the "Peacekeeper" visual modifications of the Sten's "muzzle" and "stock" components. The Mk I muzzle is also a visual modification used with many other weapons.
M3 Grease Gun
An M3 Grease Gun muzzle flash hider is available as a visual modification of the "muzzle" component of various weapons.
