In the explosive, dynamic sandbox that is the Battlefield™ series, it’s always been vital to know what’s in your arsenal. There’s a gun for every situation, a vehicle for every fight, and helpful gadgets to aid your squad in unique ways. In this post, we’ll go through what you’ll wield, pilot, and utilize when Battlefield™ V launches. At the heart of this is your Company – your personalized collection of soldiers, weapons, and vehicles, earned and improved in your journey through World War 2. Let’s gear up and see what means you’ll have to master the rock-paper-scissors gameplay of the series’ next installment.

30 Primary Weapons

Depending on what Class you’ll deploy as, you’ll have access to a wide range of weapon types in Battlefield V. In our newly published articles on Classes and Combat Roles, you can discover which of the 30 primary weapons that the Assault, Medic, Support, and Recon Classes can wield. SMGs and Shotguns are heavily specialized into close range, with the latter even allowing you to sometimes one-hit kill enemies. Assault Rifles are the bigger brother of the SMGs, with better accuracy and damage at range, making them more suited for medium range. LMGs are optimized for sustained fire. They have worse mobility then Assault Rifles but tend to be a bit more ranged thanks to their bipods. MMGs are heavily specialized to provide the most lethal sustained fire. Their mobility is poor, so make sure to set up on a bipod. Then there’s the Semi-Automatic Rifles, generally more ranged than assault rifles, but not necessarily long range. The Self-Loading Rifles are mechanically similar; they have a lower rate of fire, but higher damage per shot and a much smaller magazine capacity. Bolt-Action Rifles serve as the sniper rifles of the game. Their rate of fire is low, but they will take out an enemy with one headshot. Here are the 30 Primary Weapons available when Battlefield V launches.

StG 44 – Considered by many to be the first real assault rifle. It combines a high rate of fire with good accuracy and stopping power.

It was the first successful semi-automatic shotgun used by the Allies, eventually inspiring the German army to create their own version. The base weapons are just the start. With Specializations, you’ll be able to tailor your weapons to cater for your particular play style. As you unlock these Specializations by playing Battlefield V, you can affect how your weapon behaves when it comes to damage, accuracy, hip fire, control, and so on.



Note that this system does not improve your weapon to an ultimate “master of all trades” level. If you decide to add a Specialization that increases fire power, it will not get the bonus of, for instance, stability that another Specialization path would give you. Our design philosophy is that Specializations will never give players an unfair gameplay advantage.

Stay tuned for more details on weapon customization, coming before launch.
