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.

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:
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The Lebel 1886, in-game name "Fusil Mle 1886/M93 Lebel", is the main rifle of the French Republic and as a placeholder for the Harlem Hellfighters until a Berthier Model 1907-15 is added. A scoped model fitting the APX Mle 1917 scope is also available to the French Empire's marksman class.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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 Colt's until 1915 when they were replaced by Vickers Guns.
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.
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.
The Karabingranate 1917 rifle grenades are fired from the Mauser Schießbecher für Gewehrgranate 17, the German counterpart of the 1916 French Vivien-Bessière Tromblon (see below).
The Model 16 Stielhandgranate, which appears as the "M1916 Stielhandgranate", comes with an early warhead from a Model 15 which was not uncommon during WWI. A Geballte Ladung will be also available.
