We never went in-depth on the blog about the new weapons released in the free White War update – time to remedy that for anyone who doesn’t follow our social media.Gewehr 71/84
The Mauser name will be familiar to most people with an interest in WW1 or WW2 history, or weaponry in general. Renowned as accurate and reliable, Mauser rifles are still popular with hunters and collectors today. And it all started with the Gewehr 71 (or Mauser Model 1871), a bolt-action rifle adopted by (most of) the German Empire in 1871.

Vetterli Model 1870
There are several versions of the Swiss designed Vetterli rifle in Isonzo, but this is the oldest, and like the Gewehr 71/84 above it also still fires black powder cartridges! However this Vetterli is single-shot… at the request of the Italians themselves. The version used by the Swiss army at the time of adoption had a 12 round tubular magazine, and you could have another round in the cartridge elevator.
Repetier-Gewehr M.14
The most modern of these three rifles, the Repetier-Gewehr M.14 was an Austro-Hungarian made version of the Gewehr 98, which was the standard issue rifle for the German Empire during WW1… made by Mauser! This version had some minor adjustments compared to the regular Mauser, and was produced for export rather than local use.
Dress Up Warm
We’re excited to reveal a first look at the new cosmetic DLC which is on the way! Expect clothing for the worst Alpine weather conditions – as the war progressed, both sides adapted to the freezing temperatures and blinding snow with more and thicker layers. There are some very interesting uniforms and bits of facial gear coming with this one. Expect more teasers in the coming weeks.

Marmolada in-game and in-reference
We’ll close out today’s blog with some comparison shots from our most recent release: the Marmolada map!
