5 Iconic WWII Weapons That Should Join Warzone’s Arsenal
Introduction
As Warzone evolves with Season 3’s PPSh addition, the potential for more WWII-era weapons creates exciting possibilities for loadout diversity. The rumored WWII setting for CoD 2021 suggests we may see additional historical firearms integrated into Warzone’s arsenal.
The PPSh’s introduction signals Activision’s willingness to blend historical weaponry with modern battle royale gameplay – which WWII classics should come next?
While fan favorites like the Kar98k already exist in-game, several iconic firearms remain conspicuously absent. The WWII era produced revolutionary small arms that could fill specific combat roles in Verdansk:
- Close-quarters domination SMGs
- Versatile battle rifles
- Precision semi-automatic platforms
- Early assault rifle prototypes
Thompson (Tommy Gun)
The Thompson SMG represents the gold standard for close-quarters combat in WWII shooters. Its potential Warzone implementation could offer:
- 45-round drum magazine capacity (from CoD WWII)
- Moderate 700 RPM fire rate balancing power and control
- Exceptional hip-fire accuracy for mobile playstyles
- Customizable with modern optics and suppressors
Pro Tip: In close-range engagements, the Thompson’s .45 ACP rounds would likely feature high damage-per-shot but significant bullet drop at distance – perfect for clearing buildings in Downtown.
M1 Garand
The M1 Garand’s distinctive “ping” could become Warzone’s most satisfying audio cue. This battle rifle would offer:
- Semi-automatic fire for rapid follow-up shots
- 8-round en-bloc clip system (with iconic ejection sound)
- Potential 2-shot kill potential with headshots
- Customization options including sniper scopes
Common Mistake: Players might underestimate the Garand’s recoil between shots. Practice trigger discipline to maintain accuracy at range.
StG 44
As the grandfather of modern assault rifles, the StG 44 could bridge WWII authenticity with contemporary Warzone gameplay through:
- Selective fire capability (single/auto)
- 30-round magazine capacity
- Moderate 500 RPM rate of fire
- Attachment options including optics and grenade launchers
Advanced Technique: The StG 44 would likely excel in mid-range engagements. Try burst-firing at longer distances to maintain accuracy while conserving ammo.
M1 Carbine
The lightweight M1 Carbine could become Warzone’s most versatile WWII addition, offering:
- 15-30 round magazine options
- 750 RPM fire rate (faster than Garand)
- Reduced recoil for rapid follow-up shots
- Hybrid role between SMG and rifle
Loadout Suggestion: Pair with a reflex sight and extended mags for aggressive flanking maneuvers, or add a 3x scope for versatile mid-range capability.
MP40
The MP40’s methodical fire rate could provide a distinct SMG alternative with:
- 32-round magazine capacity
- Controlled 500 RPM rate of fire
- High damage-per-bullet for an SMG
- Predictable recoil pattern
Combat Tip: The MP40 would reward accuracy over spray-and-pray. Aim for upper chest to maximize damage and potentially score headshots.
Conclusion & Actionable Insights
These five WWII weapons could each fill unique combat niches in Warzone while maintaining historical authenticity. Their implementation would require careful balancing to:
- Preserve each weapon’s real-world characteristics
- Ensure competitive viability against modern firearms
- Maintain Warzone’s current TTK balance
- Offer meaningful attachment customization
