'''''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 ''[[Post Scriptum]]''. 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 Post Scriptum. 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 as a playable sidearm.
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 has access to the M1917 Revolver, the Canadian's 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.
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
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 Assault 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.
