The Browning Automatic Rifle is the main weapon of the support class in-game. It can be fired standing and from the hip, which reduces accuracy, or in prone position with the bipod deployed, which increases it. Amusingly, in one of the maps, Ramelle-Neuville, (a reference to Saving Private Ryan), the B.A.R bipod has been removed and the gun converted to the ability to fire at either the default 450 rpm or 600 rpm, a homage to Reiben's (Edward Burns) B.A.R in the film, which was sans bipod and fired at maximum RPM.

The MG34 is carried by German Machine Gunners pre-1944, when it is replaced by the MG42. Afterwards it still makes an appearance, mounted on Lafette tripods or pintle/turret-mounted on numerous German vehicles. The portable variant has to be deployed to fire.
