First appearing in a blog and then being reposted in the Battlefield V subreddit, user Silviahunter leaks a list that claims to be a confirmed compilation of the aforementioned weapons and vehicles coming to the game “up until today.” The wording would suggest that DICE could potentially add more prior to launch or afterward as post-launch content. Nevertheless, check out the full list below:
Weapons:
MP40 SMG MG42 Ribeyrolles 1918 Sten SMG Lee-Enfield sniper M1 Carbine SIG KE7 Light Machine Gun Walther P38 Bren light machine gun Sturmgewehr 44 Thompson SMG Lewis gun M1911 Kar98k Erma Maschinenpistole Gewehr 43 M1 Garand Mkb 44 Combat Knife Katana Axe/Hatchet Cricket Bat Fairbairn Sykes Luger P08 Flak 38 cannon PAK 40 anti-tank gun V-1 flying bomb JB-2 rocket

Those concerned about the ‘historical accuracy’ controversy spilling over into the weapons of the game should feel relieved, as the list contains classic World War II-era weapons such as the M1 Garand, but there are also some concerned about the short list of weapons. The original poster believes that DICE will confirm more soon, and others have noted this list can’t be complete because it doesn’t contain the Valentine and Cromwell tanks seen in previous trailers.
Moreover, this list should be taken with a healthy grain of salt, as DICE has yet to officially confirm or comment on the list. It could simply be an invented list of wish fulfillment since the leaker doesn’t really have much backing. Another concern with this list is the lack of specificity, as the list could be for the whole game, the battle royale mode, the campaign mode, or the multiplayer mode.
Battlefield V releases on October 19 for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
