Battalion: Legacy (Previously called Battalion 1944) is a free-to play World War II first-person arcade shooter developed by Bulkhead Interactive. The game was funded via a successful Kickstarter campaign in February 2016 and released in Early Access in 1st of February 2018 for PC as Battalion 1944 and fully released on May 23rd, 2019. A promised console version of the game was subsequently cancelled to great controversy, and on August 9th, 2022, the game was made free-to-play and rebranded Battalion: Legacy.
Set on the Western and Eastern fronts of the Second World War, players play as the United States, Commonwealth, USSR, and Wehrmacht forces. Battalion: Legacy's gameplay is inspired by fast paced multiplayer games such as the Counter-Strike series and Call of Duty 2 puts gameplay before realism and historical accuracy, Each faction has their own exclusive load outs.
The following weapons appear in the video game Battalion: Legacy:
Handguns
Handguns are locked by faction. Every pistol is used in a modern two-handed grip, while the prevailing technique in the 1940s for pistol shooting was the one-handed "point shooting" method.
Colt M1911A1
The Colt M1911A1, referred to as simply "1911", is used by the US Army. It has a incorrect magazine capacity of 8 rounds.
Luger P08
The Luger P08 is called "Luger" in game and is used by the German faction. The toggle-lock action appears to be modified as to not get in the way of the front sight.
Tokarev TT-33
The Tokarev TT-33 is used by the USSR under the name "TT-33".
Enfield No. 2
The Enfield No.2 is the sole revolver in the game, and is also generically labeled as "Revolver". It is used by the Commonwealth faction loadouts and uses a speed loader when reloading.
Submachine Guns
Submachine guns are again locked by faction, and are split into two subcategories by the game: Submachine Guns and the rather vague and mysterious description of "Light Weapons".
M3A1 "Grease Gun"
The M3A1 "Grease Gun" Appears as the "Light Weapon" for the US faction under the name of "Grease Gun". The rear iron sight has been sawed-off and the charging handle is never pulled on an empty reload.
M1A1 Thompson
The M1A1 Thompson is the submachine gun of the US factions. Despite being modeled with a 30-round magazine, it only holds 20 rounds in-game and has a noticeably lower rate of fire than in real life.
Haenel MP 28/II
The MP 28/II, referred to as "MP28" is the "Light Weapon" for the Wehrmacht. It feeds from a 30-round magazine of 9x19mm.
MP 40
The MP 40 is the German submachine gun. It is fitted with a brown Bakelite lower receiver, indicating it is a post-war model.
PPS-43
The PPS-43 is the "Light Weapon" for the USSR faction, appearing as "PPS 43". Despite it feeding from a 35-round Magazine, it only holds 30 rounds.
PPSh-41
The PPSh-41 is the submachine gun of the USSR factions. It is modeled with a 71-round drum, which only holds 35-rounds, the capacity of the PPSh's stick magazine.
Sten Mk II
the Sten Mk II appears as "Sten" and is the "Light Weapon" for the Commonwealth faction. It has very little recoil, noticeably lower than any automatic weapon in the game.
Thompson M1928A1
The M1928A1 Thompson is referred to as the "British Thompson" in game. It is the submachine gun of the Commonwealth, and is of course fitted with its signature drum magazine which actually holds 50 rounds. Like the M1A1 Thompson, it features a slower fire-rate then in real life.
Shotguns
.Locked by faction and are the most limited Range weapon class, despite shotguns having way more range then shown in most Media
Winchester Model 1897 "Trench Gun"
The Winchester Model 1897 "Trench Gun" appears as "Trenchgun" and is used by the US, Commonwealth, and strangely, the German faction, despite Germany's vocal dislike of shotguns in warfare during World War I and II. It holds 6 shells tube despite having a 5-round tube (it can reach 6 by loading one shell in the chamber, although this is not replicated in-game). Furthermore, the Model 1897 uses an anachronistic Remington-style ghost ring sight not invented until the 1980s.
Baikal IZh-43
The Baikal IZh-43, called "Baikal 21" in-game, is exclusive to the USSR faction. Its inclusion is anachronistic because the Izh-43 was not produced until 1986. What exactly the "Baikal 21" name is inspired by is not clear, as the Baikal IZh-21, the closest possible interpretation, is a pump-action shotgun manufactured decades after World War II.
