Genre:	First-Person Shooter

Raid: World War II is a co-operative first-person shooter developed by Lion Game Lion, a Croatian Starbreeze partner studio that made various DLC packs for Payday 2. Much like that title, it uses the same engine (Diesel 2.0) and features a similar mode of gameplay. Up to four players can play as members of the titular Raid gang, a group of POWs tasked with crippling the German war machine through various sabotage, assassination and heist missions.

The following weapons appear in the video game Raid: World War II:

Overview

Players can assemble a team from four classes: Recon, Assault, Insurgent and Demolitions. Each class has a different range of weaponry, stats, and special abilities known as War Cries. As they level up, they can learn proficiencies that can boost their stats such as more health, speed, or easier lockpicking.

Recon - Recon raiders provide long-range fire support for other members. Their Sharpshooter war cry locks on to enemies, restores health for each enemy killed, and boosts the damage of teammates. At max level, the war cry also makes a successful headshot ricochet to nearby enemies, which is effective for clearing large groups. They can wield sniper rifles, SMGs, and assault rifles.
Assault - Assault raiders provide heavy firepower against the enemy. Their Berserk war cry reduces the ammo spent and continuously heals the team for its duration. At higher levels the ammo is not spent at all, and at maximum the war cry even refills the current magazine. They can wield assault rifles, SMGs, and LMGs.
Insurgent - Insurgent raiders specialize in close-quarters combat. Their Untouchable war cry grants the team a speed boost, a chance to dodge enemy fire, and also an ability to see nearby enemies through walls for the user. At max level, the dodge chance is 100%, essentially being god mode, but you can still be damaged by explosions. They can wield SMGs, shotguns, and LMGs.
Demolitions - Demolitions raiders obviously specialize in blowing things up. Their Ignition war cry gives them cluster grenades and grants some damage reduction for the team. At higher levels you pull a couple extra throwables out of nowhere when using the war cry, and they also explode when close to enemies as opposed to being timed. They can wield shotguns, assault rifles, and LMGs.

Weapons are unlocked by leveling up (every class has different unlock levels for weapons) and when upgraded can resemble different variants like in some other WWII shooters, like Call of Duty: Vanguard. To give the game credit, most of the visual upgrades are based on real and period-appropriate options.

Handguns

Handguns are available as a secondary backup weapon to all classes. These are the only weapons the raiders can use while in bleedout mode but with no ability to aim down the sights.

Mauser C96

The Mauser C96 is the first available handgun. This is the same (retextured) model as seen in Payday 2, except with different modifications.

Mauser C96 "Broomhandle" - 7.63x25mm Mauser.

The base C96.

Holding the C96.

Aiming down the Mauser's sights.

Starting the non-empty reload with the raider pulling the bolt back while holding the stripper clip. The empty reload obviously skips that part but is otherwise identical.

Preparing to push the rounds into the Mauser. The C96 is always reloaded with one full clip, even with extended magazines.

The reloading sequence ends with the raider tugging the bolt, which sends the empty clip flying with a Garand-esque ping.

Mauser M1917 Trench Carbine - 9x19mm Parabellum

Mauser C96 Carbine - 7.63x25mm Mauser. The in-game stock is referenced from this variant.

The upgraded C96, which loosely resembles the M1917 trench carbine variant of the weapon. Unfortunately, Payday 2 got the carbine barrel but not the stock, while Raid: World War II got just the carbine stock.

Tokarev TT-33

The Tokarev TT-33 was added in update 8 and is unlockable at level 5.

Tokarev TT-33 - 7.62x25mm Tokarev

The base TT-33.

Holding the TT. This is the only pistol held with two hands in first person, unless we count the M1911 with a front grip attached.

Aiming down the Tokarev's sights.

Changing the magazine.

The empty reload ends with tugging the slide.

Polish Wz. 48 or M48 pistol with a muzzle brake compensator.

The upgraded TT-33, which adds wood grips, a post-war muzzle brake, and an extended magazine.

Webley Mark VI

The Webley Mk VI is available at level 18.

Webley Mk VI - .455 Webley

The Webley. The upgraded model remains visually unchanged.

Holding the Webley.

Aiming down the Mark VI's sights.

Thumbing the hammer after every shot while Seeadler gets blinded by the muzzleflash.

The game tracks fired/unfired rounds which can be seen ejected on starting the reload.

Reloading is done with the aid of what appears to be a moon clip with a tiny handle, which looks nothing like an actual Webley speedloader.

While hard to make out on this screenshot, said moon clip is then somehow removed. Note that the hammer is cocked back through the whole sequence.

Spinning the revolver shut and then cocking the hammer again for some reason.

Colt M1911A1

The M1911A1 is available at level 30, incorrectly called as "Colt M1911".

World War II Colt M1911A1 - .45 ACP

The base M1911A1.

Holding the M1911A1.

Aiming down the Colt's sights.

Reloading. The slide release is thumbed, unlike on the TT-33.

The upgraded M1911A1 is based on the Himan Lebman .38 Super machine pistol variant, wich was used by John Dillinger's gang, but with additional buttstock. It's actually based on this gun: [1].

The real-life John Dillinger's .38 Super M1911A1 Machine Pistol.

The upgraded M1911A1. The stock is based on one from Iver Johnson carbine version, which is anachronistic.

Welrod Mark II

The Welrod is the only suppressed weapon in the game, balanced by its mediocre stats and very low rate of fire. It has an incorrect capacity of six rounds (should be eight on a .32 model) and only one spare magazine; as such, it's not particularly effective in a heated firefight, and practically useless in bleedout due to the associated inability to aim.

Welrod Mark II - .32 ACP

The Welrod Mk II. It does not have any visual upgrades.

Holding the Welrod while enjoying some stealthy handiwork.

Aiming down the Mark II' sights. Prepare to see that a lot.

Changing the magazine involves some fancy acrobatics.

The bolt is treated as a normal pistol slide as opposed to a rotating bolt, which springs back into battery after being pulled.

Luger P08

The Luger P08 is only used by the enemy NPCs, and is not available to the Raiders to the point of it being a meme in the Raid community. The fact that it appeared in a Payday 2 update made by the same company only adds insult to injury.

Luger P08 - 9x19mm.

A raider finds something that he sadly cannot steal.

Hitler uses a Luger in several post-mission cutscenes.

Submachine Guns

Submachine guns are available for the Recon, Assault, and Insurgent classes.

Sten Mark II

The Sten Mk II is the first available SMG.

Sten Mk II (Canadian) - 9x19mm

The base Sten. It has the Canadian stock.

Sten Mk V - 9x19mm

A pseudo Mark V build.

Holding the Sten.

Aiming down the sights. The Mark II's original front sight obstructs the upgrade option unless the receiver is also changed.

Pressing the mag release upon starting the reload.

Sten Mk III - 9x19mm

An early upgrade changes the receiver to a Mark III.

Aiming down the Mark III's sights. The Sten is held by the magazine if no front grip is attached.

Reloading with a long Lanchester mag.

Reaching over to pull the bolt.

Sten Mk I - 9x19mm

Other upgrade options include the muzzle brake of the Mk I and a Mark III receiver with vent holes and no sight rib.

M1A1 Thompson

The M1A1 Thompson is available early on, and is a weapon of choice for Rivet and Wolfgang bots.

M1A1 Thompson with 20-round stick magazine - .45 ACP

The base Thompson.

Holding the basic Thompson.

Aiming down the M1A1's sights.

Changing mags.

Reaching over to pull the bolt, which shouldn't be necessary as the stick magazines normally lock the bolt open when emptied.

M1928 "Tommy Gun" or "Chicago typewriter" with 50-round drum magazine - .45 ACP, made famous through countless classic gangster movies.

The upgraded Thompson, with the receiver, barrel, and foregrip of the M1928 and drum magazines. It retains the M1A1's sights until you complete a Tier IV challenge.

Holding the upgraded Thompson.

Aiming down the M1928's sights.

Changing drums is, incorrectly, done with the exact same animation as the stick mags...

...give or take the change of the charging handle's location. In this case, it should be pulled before removing the empty drum, as the drums do not hold the bolt open when emptied and the bolt locks the drum in place.

M1928A1 Thompson with 30-round magazine - .45 ACP. This specimen has the sling swivel relocated to the top of the stock, a modification often made to Thompsons in British service.

While it is possible to make an M1928A1 since the update, the animations for such setup are currently borked as you were supposed to unlock the front grip before the receiver.

MP 38

The predecessor to the MP40, the MP38 can be distinguished by its distinct milled receiver as opposed to the stamped receiver of the 40. It is the main weapon carried by regular enemy soldiers.

MP38 - 9x19mm

The base MP38.

Holding the MP38. Note the bolt handle in the forward position; the gun is animated as a closed-bolt weapon.

Aiming down the Erma's sights.

Pulling the bolt handle back into the safety notch. An upgrade gives this gun a hook-shaped charging handle, which is more correct for this model since there is no forward safety notch.

Removing the old magazine without touching the mag release.

Punching the bolt back into battery, somewhat HK-style. The bolt incorrectly flies all the way forward.

The MP41. It was produced and used in small quantities in 1941 to 1942.

The upgraded MP38, which has the rifle stock of the MP41 but retains the milled receiver. Also note the jungle-taped magazines.

Sterling SMG

The Sterling SMG appears as an unlockable SMG late in progression, simply named "Sterling" (previously known as Sterling Machine Carbine). While it sounds anachronistic, the earliest Sterling models did see action in late November of 1944, so it makes sense for it to be a late yet formidable replacement to the Sten. The in-game model, however, is not based on the wartime prototypes that used the straight Sten magazines, and is the same one as seen in Payday 2, albeit textured differently and, sadly, without the suppressed barrel version.

Sterling L2A3 (Mk.4) - 9x19mm

The base Sterling.

Holding the Sterling.

Aiming down the L2A3's sights.

Changing magazines.

Reaching over to pull the bolt.

The upgraded Sterling, which simply adds a longer barrel and again, jungle-taped magazines.

Shotguns

Shotguns are available for the Insurgent and Demolitions classes.

Winchester Model 1912

The Winchester Model 1912 is available from the start as the "M12 Shotgun".

Winchester Model 1912 - 12 Gauge

Holding the base Winchester while getting harassed by a T-posing Kurgan.

Finding a quiet spot away from the crazy ~~Russki~~ Sovietski to reload.

Racking the pump after blasting a trooper away.

Aiming with the Winchester completely ignores the groove in the receiver.

Winchester Model 1912 Riot Gun - 12 gauge

Winchester Model 1912 "Trench Gun" with heat shield and bayonet lug - 12 Gauge.

Equipping both a riot barrel and a heat shield turns the M12 into a "Trench Gun".

Winchester Model 1912 Field Gun (Last Production Model) - 12 gauge

A lot of the upgrade options turn it into a fancy hunting shotgun.

The stock keeps getting more elaborate before getting unceremoniouly sawn off at Tier IV. Also note the Cutts compensator.

Double-barreled Shotgun

A Gustav Genschow & Co double-barreled shotgun was added in update 3. A hammerless side-by-side Doppelflinte of German make (as noted by its internal name of "geco") is rather period-appropriate, and ironically quite a lot of German soldiers use it against the Raid gang, considering how historically they had some beef with being shot at with shotguns.

J.P. Sauer Shotgun - 12 gauge

The base double-barreled shotgun.

Holding the shotgun.

Aiming the Geco at a trooper that forgot about a raider he was just shooting and rushed to man a mounted machine gun.

Ejecting the spent shells.

Preparing the fresh shells. Those are the same plastic shells as in Payday 2 and as such are a tad anachronistic.

Flicking the shotgun shut. Raid: World War II understands that a double barrel shotgun needs a quick reload to shine, unlike a lot of other shooters.

Dominion Arms Outlaw Sawed Off shotgun - 12 gauge

The upgraded double-barreled shotgun, which looks a lot like Doom's super shotgun.

Sawn-off Double-barreled Shotgun

A double-barreled shotgun of unknown make that has been sawn-off to pistol size is an available sidearm at level 8 for Demolitions, and level 11 for the others. It's named in the game as "Pocket Double-Barrel" and is treated as a secondary slot shotgun, meaning it benefits from shotgun damage proficiencies but not the pistol ones.

Sawed-off Savage/Stevens 311A - 12 gauge

The sawn-off shotgun. Like the Webley and the Welrod it remains visually unchanged when upgraded.

Blasting Hitler's personal sommelier hard enough to spawn an extra head.

Ejecting the spent shells. The whole animation is pretty similar to the full-sized Geco above.

Speed loading two plastic shells.

Flicking the shotty shut.

Sprinting animation gives us a better look at the shotgun's rather peculiar receiver details as well as engravings.

Ithaca 37

The Ithaca 37 was added in update 17. It is available for Demolitions at 23, and for the Insurgent class at 28.

Ithaca 37 Trench Gun - 12 gauge

The upgraded Ithaca with a bayonet lug and muzzle brake.

Holding the shotgun in front of the ultimate excess.

Aiming with Ithaca's bead sight.

Racking the pump after filling Schloss Blomberg's wall with lead.

Reloading with the same anachronistic shells as the other shotguns.

Ithaca 37 Deerslayer - 12 gauge. One of the upgrade options is a ribbed long barrel.

Ithaca Deerslayer II - 12 gauge. One of the upgrade options resembles this stock.

The upgraded Ithaca that looks more like a hunting model. Shame there's no alternative pump model in-game.

Ithaca 37 with 'Duckbill' Conversion.

Ithaca 37 "Stakeout", blued finish with wooden forearm - 20 gauge

The other upgrades are a "duckbill" muzzle device (that doesn't increase the horizontal spread unlike the one in Payday 2) and a wooden pistol grip that may be anachronistic but might as well have been carved by the raiders themselves and just so happens to resemble a post-war product.

Browning Auto-5

The Browning Auto-5 was added in an update as a late unlock.

Browning Auto-5 in sporting/field configuration - 12 gauge

The base Auto-5.

Holding the Auto-5 with an upgraded barrel.

Reloading is done completely disregarding the shell release...

...and neither the bolt locks open on empty.

Aiming the Browning is only a slight improvement over the M12.

The upgraded Auto-5 with a seemingly fictional stock and an extended magazine that is connected to the barrel. This is incorrect as the barrel reciprocates when firing.

Rifles

The bolt-action rifles are classified as sniper rifles and are only available to the Recon class, while the rest are considered assault rifles in-game.

M1903 Springfield

The M1903 Springfield is the first available bolt-action rifle for the Recon class.

M1903 Springfield Mk I - .30-06

The base Springfield. The scope mount is always present on the rifle.

Aiming down the M1903's iron sights.

M1903A1 Springfield with a 7.8x Unertl scope - .30-06

An M1903 with an air service magazine equipped - .30-06

The upgraded Springfield, which turns it into an A1 sniper variant with a box magazine. One of the upgrades is a McLean muzzle brake, about which there is maybe one article on the internet, so Lion Game Lion did good research to find some obscure modifications to their WW2 weapons.

Holding the scoped Springfield.

Aiming with the M1903A1 scope.

Cycling the bolt after firing a shot in the middle of Berlin.

Topping off. It can only be reloaded with individual rounds, but does so at a faster pace than other rifles.

M1 Garand

The M1 Garand is available early on and is the weapon of choice for Sterling and Kurgan bots. Its model is almost identical to the one in Payday 2, textured differently and having a golden variant for Special Edition owners.

M1 Garand - .30-06

The base M1 Garand.

M1D Sniper Variant with M84 scope, M2 Flash Hider and T4 leather cheek pad - .30-06

Springfield T20E2: select-fire Garand with 20-round detachable magazine, a forerunner to the M14 Rifle - .30-06

The upgraded Garand, which has the earlier conical flash hider from the M1D and a magazine from the T20 rather haphazardly clipped into the receiver. A later upgrade changes it to an even longer BAR "banana" mag. The extended magazines do not change the weapon's animations, which still depict it being loaded with en-bloc clips.

Springfield Armory T26 Tanker Garand - .30-06

Springfield Armory M1E5 with stock folded - .30-06. The first variant without a pistol grip.

Tier IV unlocks essentially turn it into an M1E5 or a T26 depending on whether the folding stock is installed.

Holding the M1E5. Firing it with a stock like that and no pistol grip must feel worse than a British Sten.

Aiming down the Garand's sights. Like in many first person shooters, the rear sight aperture is considerably widened and raised for volley firing.

The mid-clip reloading has the raider correctly press the clip release button, but it still produces a loud ping as it gets ejected. At least it's satisfying to hear.

Loading a fresh en bloc clip.

Manually sending the bolt forward, seemingly to further prolong the animation. It does not happen on reloading from empty, which is quick and sleek.

Having found the regular rifle insufficiently cursed, the raider brandishes a gold-plated M1E5. Previously a separate weapon for the proud owners of the Special Edition of the game with its own challenges and unlocks, it became a toggle-able skin variant for the proud owners of the Special Edition of the game.

M1 Carbine

The M1 Carbine is available early on. It is called an "M1 Carbine" despite having the folding stock of the M1A1 by default.

M1A1 Carbine - .30 Carbine

The base Carbine, which starts off as an M1A1.

Holding the M1A1.

Aiming down the late carbine sights.

Reloading. The bolt incorrectly locks back on empty, which it shouldn't do with original magazines.

Reaching over to charge the weapon.

Post-war M1 Carbine with 30-round magazine and metal barrel shroud - .30 Carbine

The upgraded M1 Carbine, which basically has a full stock and a somewhat incorrect extended magazine.

Karabiner 98k

The Karabiner 98k is available for the Recon class at level 10. The rifle is commonly used by the enemy troops and the scoped Kar98k is also the main weapon used by enemy snipers.

Karabiner 98k - 7.92x57mm Mauser

The base Kar98k.

Holding the Karabiner.

Aiming down the Mauser's iron sights.

The non-empty reload is done with individual rounds, but slower than on the Springfield. It only gets worse when the magazine capacity is upgraded.

The empty reloading uses one stripper clip to refill the whole magazine, regardless of upgrades and/or scope presence.

The clip is then correctly pushed out by the bolt.

Karabiner 98k with Zeiss ZF39 scope - 7.92x57mm Mauser

The upgraded Kar98k, which like the Springfield also has an extended box magazine. An even larger magazine model exists in the game files but remains unused as there is only one mag upgrade challenge. The real rare "trench" magazine was 20-round, and the semi-pistol grip was only on sportized versions.

Holding the sniper Karabiner while observing a dropped NPC variant, whose scope is mounted in a very weird way.

Reloading.

Mosin-Nagant

The M38 Carbine variant of the Mosin-Nagant is available for the Recon class at level 23. It is a modified model from Payday 2, textured differently and considerably more detailed.

Mosin Nagant M38 Carbine - 7.62x54mmR

The base Mosin-Nagant. In fact, the barrel is even shorter than the carbine version, and slightly shorter than that of the M38 barrel in Payday 2.

Mosin Nagant M91/30 - 7.62x54mmR

Aiming down the Mosin's iron sights.

Reloading is always done with a full stripper clip that isn't modeled correctly and seems to go inside the gun as if it was an en bloc design. Upon closer inspection, the clip appears to be inserted at a slight angle, presumably to clear the scope. This is Call of Duty: WWII all over again!

Sending the bolt forward. The bolt handle is always downturned and is unusually short, making it look like a St Petersburg Cavalry School Mosin Carbine bolt.

Finnish Mosin-Nagant M/39 "Ukko-Pekka" - 7.62x54mmR

One of the stock upgrades resembles a Finnish model. The other one is a cursed sporterized stock.

Mosin Nagant M91/30 Sniper Rifle with PU 3.5x sniper scope and down turned bolt handle - 7.62x54mm R.

Mosin modified with a regular length barrel and PU scope.

Holding the Mosin-Nagant sniper rifle. There are three extra stock models in the game files that feature a cutout for the scope, but they are unused.

Aiming with the PU reveals a correct German post reticle, the same as on the Kar98k.

Reloading the rifle in a completely impossible manner.

Lee-Enfield

The Lee-Enfield is available for the Recon Class at level 33. Similarly to the Mosin, it starts with a carbine length barrel.

Lee-Enfield No.5 Mk.I Jungle Carbine - .303 British

Adding the butt pad and the flash hider makes the starting rifle a full-fledged Jungle Carbine.

Aiming down the carbine's iron sights.

Cycling the bolt.

The non-empty reload is done with individual rounds, unless the magazine upgrade is applied.

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

Holding the Lee-Enfield.

Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I (T) - .303 British

Adding the long barrel, the scope, and the cheek pad turns it into a No.4 Mk.I(T). With just the long barrel, it's a regular No.4 Mk.I.

Holding the Lee-Enfield sniper rifle.

Aiming with the Mk.I(T)'s scope.

Empty reload is done with replacing the magazines; this is also true for the upgraded mag tactical reload.

Sturmgewehr 44

The Sturmgewehr 44 is the only true assault rifle in the game, being the one to give birth to the term, available late in the progression. It is also the main weapon used by veteran enemy soldiers.
