'''''Beyond The Wire''''' is | '''''Beyond The Wire''''' is a 2022 tactical team-based first-person shooter video game set in the First World War, developed by Redstone Interactive and published by Offworld Interactive, the creators of ''[[Squad]]'' and ''[[Squad 44]]'' (known as ''Post Scriptum'' at the time). Twisting trenches, roaring artillery, rattling machine guns. ''Beyond The Wire'' wants to convey to players how cruel the First World War could be. Due to the claustrophobic narrowness of the numerous trenches, the game also relies heavily on close combat. Realism is also very important to the developers: accurate uniforms and weapons as well as authentic vehicles are supposed to provide a historically tinged feeling. | ||

Beyond The Wire is a 2022 tactical team-based first-person shooter video game set in the First World War, developed by Redstone Interactive and published by Offworld Interactive, the creators of Squad and Squad 44 (known as Post Scriptum at the time). Twisting trenches, roaring artillery, rattling machine guns. Beyond The Wire wants to convey to players how cruel the First World War could be. Due to the claustrophobic narrowness of the numerous trenches, the game also relies heavily on close combat. Realism is also very important to the developers: accurate uniforms and weapons as well as authentic vehicles are supposed to provide a historically tinged feeling.
The following weapons appear in the video game Beyond The Wire:
Pistols
Colt M1911
Released with the Alpha, the Colt M1911 is available for the American Expeditionary Forces' Assault Class, alongside the Harlem Hellfighters and the Canadian Expeditionary Forces (CEF).
Luger P08
The Luger P08 appears in-game as the "Pistole P08", used by the German officer class as well as the German Assault Class.
Artillery Model
The Luger P08 Artillery Model is also available, dubbed the "Luger Lange Pistole P08" which appears in two basic forms in-game. The more commonly seen version with a 32-round Trommelmagazin is used as an alternative weapon for the German Assault Class. And in a rarity for a video game, the Artillery Luger with normal 8-round mags is used by actual artillery troops. Yes, the Artillery Crewmen classes get access to it.
Mauser C96
The Mauser C96 with the stock is a playable sidearm for the German Empire.
Ruby
The Ruby appears in-game as the main semi-automatic sidearm of the French Republic, called the "Ruby 1915" in-game. It's also used by the Harlem Hellfighters.
Revolvers
Colt M1917
The American officer class and the Harlem Hellfighter's Assault Class have access to the M1917 Revolver, the Canadians also have access to this revolver as the "Colt New Service" although it shares the same model and in the case of the New Service incorrect moon clips.
Colt New Service
The Canadians have access to the Colt New Service revolver. It is available for the Assault, Raiding, and Rifle sections.
MAS Mle. 1892
The other sidearm for the French is the Mle 1892 Revolver and is named "Modéle 1892 Revolver", primarily issued to officers.
Reichsrevolver M1883
The Reichsrevolver M1883 is the only revolver available for the German Imperial Army. The in-game Reichsrevolver is erroneously shown as double-action, possibly to bring it up to par with the other factions' revolvers.
Smith & Wesson Mk. II
The Smith & Wesson Mk II Hand Ejector appears as a sidearm for the Canadian Expeditionary Forces (CEF) as one of their sidearm choices, primarily issued to classes like the Medic.
Webley Mk. VI
The Webley Mk VI is the duty sidearm for the British faction, used by the Officer and Assault classes.
Submachine Guns
Bergmann MP18
The Bergmann MP18 has been added to the game as a weapon for the late-war German faction's Veteran class. The player grasps the MP18 by its magazine with an underhand grip; this was taught as official doctrine during World War II to offset the poor balance of the weapon, but there is no evidence that it was practiced in World War I.
Rifles
Berthier Mle. 1907/15
The Berthier Mle 1907-15 was added to the game as an alternative rifle for the French Empire and the Harlem Hellfighters.
Enfield M1917
The M1917 Enfield appears as the standard-issue rifle to the American Expeditionary Forces.
Enfield P14
The Pattern 1914 Enfield is the scoped rifle for the British sniper class.
Gewehr 1888/05
The Gewehr 1888/05 was added to the game with its full release as the third choosable rifle for some German classes.
Lee-Enfield Mk. I* CLLE
The Lee-Enfield Mk. I* CLLE is available for ANZAC soldiers, making it the standard infantry rifle for them. However, some British and Canadian units have also access to this Lee-Enfield rifle as an alternative rifle for the following No. 1 Mk. III.
Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk. III
The standard infantry rifle for the BEF is the Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III. The in-game name incorrectly refers to it as a "*" model, despite the model portraying the earlier pattern. An SMLE with an Aldis M1916 scope is available for the British and Canadian Veteran Sniper classes.
Lebel Mle. 1886 M93
The Lebel 1886, in-game name "Fusil Mle 1886/M93 Lebel", is the main rifle of the French Republic and was a placeholder for the Harlem Hellfighters until the Berthier Model 1907-15 was added. A scoped model fitting the APX Mle 1917 scope is also available to the French Empire's marksman class.
Mauser Gewehr 1898
The Mauser Gewehr 1898 will be the standard rifle for the German faction and it is seen named "Gewehr 1898" in the Alpha. A scoped version will be also available with the Glasvisier 16, like in Screaming Steel: 1914-1918. The Seitengewehr 98/05 bayonet appears both as an option mounted to the rifle, and as the "Bayonet" melee weapon given out to a variety of classes.
Mauser Karabiner 98AZ
The Mauser 98AZ Artillery Carbine has been added as an alternative main arm for the German faction, alongside the designated arm for the fittingly Artillery troops.
Mauser Tankgewehr M1918
The Mauser 1918 T-Gewehr can be selected with the German Veteran Anti-Tank Rifleman class.
R.S.C. Mle. 1917
A R.S.C. Mle 1917 was added in the 0.9 Update as the alternative weapon for the French Empire's Assault Class.
Ross Mk. III
The Ross Mk. III has been added as the mainline rifle of the Canadian faction. Fittingly, it is also the sniper rifle of choice for the Canadians, equipped with an American Warner & Swasey scope.
Springfield 1903
While the M1917 Enfield is accurately portrayed as the main armament of the AEF, the Springfield M1903 still makes an appearance in-game as the rifle of choice for the AEF's marksman with a Warner and Swasey M1913 musket sight. Some classes can also use the infantry variant.
Shotguns
Winchester Model 1897
The Winchester Model 1897 appears in-game under its own name, as the specialty alternative weapon for the AEF Assault class.
Machine Guns
BAR M1918
The BAR M1918 appears as the new LMG of choice for the American faction, used by the LMG team for the AEF as well as the Assault class of the Harlem Hellfighters.
Chauchat Mle. 1915
The "Fusil Mitrailleur Mle 1915 CSRG Chauchat" is used by the French Republic's light machinegun team.
Chauchat M1918
The American .30-06 American Conversion variant of the Chauchat was initially added for the AEF, now replaced by the BAR. It's currently the LMG of choice for the Harlem Hellfighters.
Colt Model 1895
The Colt 1895 Automatic Machine Gun appears in-game as the HMG of choice for the Canadian military, accurately for the early CEF who used M1895/14 Colts until 1915 when they were replaced by Vickers Guns.
Hotchkiss Mle. 1909
The Hotchkiss M1909 light machine gun
Hotchkiss Mle. 1914
The Hotchkiss M1914 appears as the French Empire and Harlem Hellfighter's HMG of choice.
Lewis Gun
The Lewis Gun is the standard-issue LMG of the BEF, and also appears in the various destroyed Mark IV tanks that decorate certain maps.
LMG 08/15
Fokker Dr. I triplanes appear in-game as map decorations, fitted with a pair of LMG 08/15 machine guns.
Madsen M1907
The light machine gun for the Germans is the Madsen M1907, incorrectly labeled as the "M1902" in-game. This variant was not the model used by the Germans during World War I, but is similar.
Maxim MG 08
The Maxim MG08 fitted with the Patronenkasten 16 belt drum and Panzermantel (armored jacket) with a barrel shield is the stationary HMG for the German Empire.
Maxim MG08/15
The Maxim MG08/15 was brought into the game for the Germans as their second choosable portable machine gun.
Vickers Mk. I
The Vickers Mk. I appears in-game as the dedicated HMG for both the British and AEF, the latter representing the rarely-seen Colt-Vickers M1915 machine gun.
Flamethrowers
