Isonzo is the third entry of the WWI Game Series, which is named after the loss-ridden twelve Battles of the Isonzo River in the Julian Alps, which took place between 1915 and 1918. A good 500,000 people lost their lives in the process.
Another new feature is the offensive mode, in which one attacking and one defending faction face each other in massive battles. Large-scale battles between infantry take place in several phases and extend over successive maps. Enemy objectives must be captured, key points blown up, or an advance prevented on the other side. Mid-range firefights and close combat with bayonets dominate the battlefield. Teams are broken up into small squads that serve as quick spawn points for each other. A class system divides players into specific combat roles. These not only differ in their equipment but also each has unique abilities. For example, the sniper uses scopes, the officer calls in air support, the climber can run especially fast, and the engineer sets up mortars, machine guns, and barricades.
Weapons and passive perks can be unlocked by playing a certain class a lot Predominantly bolt-action rifles, but also early machine guns, revolvers, and pistols. Early submachine guns and shotguns will follow in a free update in the future, according to the developers.
The following weapons appear in the video game Isonzo:
Pistols
Beretta M1915
The first iteration of the Beretta pistols, the Beretta M1915 is available for the Italian Officer, Engineer, Assault, and Marksman as the "Beretta Modello 1915". The Austro-Hungarian Officer can also use the M1915 as their last unlock, representing a captured weapon.
Frommer Stop
The Hungarian-made Frommer Stop is available to the Austro-Hungarian Officer and Marksman, referred to by its full name.
Glisenti Model 1910
The Glisenti Model 1910, referred to as the "Glisenti Modello 1910", is available exclusively to the Italian officer.
Luger P08
The Luger P08 returns from Tannenberg and Verdun with the German Empire as part of the Caporetto expansion.
Roth-Steyr M1907
The Roth-Steyr M1907 is usable by the Austro-Hungarian officer.
Steyr M1912
The Steyr M1912 is available for the Austro-Hungarian officer, assault, and marksmen classes as the "Steyr M1912 'Steyr-Hahn'". A captured version is available to Italian officers. Unlike the Roth-Steyr, the Steyr-Hahn is capable of being reloaded mid-magazine, albeit at a significantly reduced rate.
Revolvers
Bodeo M1889
The default sidearm of the Italians is the Bodeo Model 1889. It is available to the Officer and Marksman.
Rast & Gasser 1898
The Rast & Gasser 1898 is available to the Austro-Hungarians. Like its Italian counterpart revolver, it is available to the Officer and Marksman.
Reichsrevolver M1883
The Reichsrevolver M1883 returns from previous games as part of the German Empire with the Caporetto expansion.
Submachine Guns
Villar Perosa M1915
The Villar Perosa M1915 appears as a weapon for the Italian side, available exclusively to Assault as the "Villar Perosa 9mm Mo. 15". It is the only man-portable fully automatic usable by the Italians. It can be fired from both barrels when mounted on its bipod, or hipfired from a single barrel. The reload animation for the Villar Perosa is incorrect; the player does not press the magazine release catches, instead just yanking the magazines out of the feeds, and the cocking pawls both retract together instead of individually.
Rifles
Carcano M1891
The Carcano M91 is the standard rifle for the Italians. It is the default rifle of the Italian Rifleman, Marksman, and Engineer and can be unlocked for use by the Officer and Mountaineer. The Rifleman can make use of a Benaglia rifle grenade while the Marksman has access to a telescopic scope for their Carcano. The Austro-Hungarian Riflemen and Marksmen can use captured Carcanos as their final unlocks. It if referred to as "Fucile da Fanteria Mo. 1891 'Carcano'".
M91 Carbine
The Carcano M91 Carbine appears as "Moschetto da Cavalleria Mo. 91". It is used exclusively by the Italian Mountaineer, with the Austro-Hungarian Mountaineer able to unlock it as well.
M91 TS
The Carcano M91 TS carbine is also available for the Italian Engineer and Assault. Their Austro-Hungarian counterparts can also unlock the rifle. It is referred to as the "Moschetto per Truppe Speciali Mo. 91".
Gewehr 1888/05
The Gewehr 1888/05 first appeared in the launch week as the "Mannlicher M.13", but was then renamed "Repetiergewehr M.13" which is the official designation of the Austro-Hungarian Army. It is available exclusively to the Austro-Hungarian Rifleman and the second unlockable rifle which can be loaded with individual cartridges. The model in the game has Steyr markings, which means that the rifle was made in Austria chambered in 8×57mm I (I for Infanterie) for Germany, and converted there to the 8×57mm IS (7.92×57mm; IS for Infanterie Spitz) spitzer cartridge after 1905, only to be returned due to rifle shortages in the K. u k. Armee. Another detail are the modified sling swivels; these were changed to the Austrian M.95.
Mannlicher-Schönauer Y1903/14
The Mannlicher-Schönauer Y1903/14 is available exclusively to the Austro-Hungarian marksman under the name "Mannlicher-Schönauer M.03/14" and is the first selectable rifle with the capability of reloading loose rounds. The Kingdom of Greece awarded Steyr a production contract for these rifles in 1914. After 1903, this was Steyr's second major delivery to the Greek Army, which was inadequately equipped after the Balkan Wars of 1912/13. However, this stock was confiscated by the Austro-Hungarian War Ministry after the outbreak of the First World War. These rifles with the designation "Infanteriegewehr Modell 1903/14" were for the most part issued to the Polish legion within the k. u. k. Armee, but demonstrably also occasionally ended up to second-line troops.
Mauser Gewehr 1898
The German Empire's standard-issue rifle returns from previous iterations in the Caporetto expansion, referred to as the "Gewehr 1898".
Mauser Karabiner 98AZ
Like with most German weapons listed, the Karabiner 98AZ returns from previous iterations in the Caporetto expansion. Referred to as the "Karabiner 1898AZ".
Steyr Mannlicher M1895
The Steyr Mannlicher M1895 is the standard rifle for the Austro-Hungarians. It is usable by the Officer, Rifleman, Engineer, and Marksman. The Rifleman can unlock a rifle grenade for use and the Marksman has access to a scoped variant, and the Italian Riflemen and Marksman have access to captured rifles.
Stutzen Carbine
Steyr Repetier-Stutzen M1895 is available to the Austro-Hungarian engineer, assault, and mountaineer. Referred to as the "Repetierstutzen M.95". It can also be unlocked for the Italian Mountaineer.

The Steyr Mannlicher M1888-90 is available to the Austro-Hungarian Rifleman as the "Infanterie Repetier-Gewehr M.88-90".

This Vetterli Rifle has the highest rate of fire of any Italian rifle in the game at 43 RPM but is otherwise inferior in stopping power, reloading speed, and sighting rate.
Werndl M1873/77
The Werndl M1873/77 returns from Tannenberg and is used exclusively by the Austro-Hungarian Marksman. It is the only single-shot breechloader in the game and deals the most raw damage of the ballistic weapons.
Machine Guns
Fiat-Revelli M14
The Fiat-Revelli M1914 with ribbed water barrel is the standard heavy machine gun at Italian positions. It is the only machine gun in the game that must be shot empty in order to be reloaded. Caproni bombers could be armed with the aircraft version.
Madsen M1902
The Madsen M1902 is available exclusively to the Austro-Hungarian Assault as simply "Madsen". It is the counterpart of the Italian Villar Perosa M1915, being the faction's only man-portable automatic weapon.
Schwarzlose Model 07/12
The Schwarzlose Machine Gun Model 07/12 returns as the heavy machine gun for the Austro-Hungarians. It is incorrectly modeled after a Romanian post-war version with an extended barrel and cooling jacket.
Flare Guns
Hebel Model 1894
The Hebel Model 1894 is a piece of equipment available to the Austro-Hungarian Mountaineer as the "Leuchtpistole Model 1894 'Hebel M1894'". Firing it reveals enemies on an area of the map, useful for homing in mortars or fire support.
