Icon | Name | Description |
 | Gewehr 43 | Class: Infantryman, Recon Price: 10650 Credits/ 139 Gold Clip Size: 10 bullets Usage: perfect for combat on medium and long range, slightly less effective in close range. |
Fallschirmjagergewehr 42 | Class: Paratrooper Price: 298200 Credits/ 2699 Gold Clip Size: 20 bullets Usage: an extremely powerful weapon, although restricted to the Paratrooper class. Fairly effective at any range. Unfortunately, it's probably the most expensive one as well. | |
 | MP-34 | Class: any Price: 11200 Credits/ 179 Gold Clip Size: 20 bullets Usage: this weapon is effective only at close range - if the enemy is more than several dozen meters away from you, it becomes completely useless. |
 | MP-40 | Class: any Price: 113600 Credits/ 1149 Gold Clip Size: 32 bullets Usage: basically, it's an improved version of MP-34 - stronger, more accurate, but still not very effective at medium and long range. |
 | Kar98k | Class: Infantryman, Recon Price: 56800 Credits/ 599 Gold Clip Size: 5 bullets Usage: a weapon perfectly suited for medium and long range combat, because it deals huge amounts of damage (able to kill in a single shot) and has high accuracy. Unfortunately, it's not very effective at close range. |
 | Kar98k scoped | Class: Infantryman, Recon Price: 205900 Credits/ 1949 Gold Clip Size: 5 bullets Usage: the scope makes this weapon even more deadly at medium and long range, but because of the zoomed-in view it's completely useless at close range, unless you decide to use it without the zoom. |
 | MG-34 | Class: Infantryman Price: 92300 Credits/ 919 Gold Clip Size: 50 bullets Usage: a weapon which deals high damage and has a huge, 50-bullet clip. Effective at close and medium range, a little less at long range. |
 | Mg-42 | Class: Infantryman Price: 156200 Credits/ 1549 Gold Clip Size: 50 bullets Usage: a weapon almost identical to the previously listed one - it has the same range, amount of bullets in the clip, as well as damage dealt. The only difference is the higher price. |
 | Mauser C96 | Class: any Price: 78100 Credits/ 789 Gold Clip Size: 10 bullets Usage: a weapon useful only when you suddenly run out of bullets in your primary gun, and there's an enemy nearby. Not effective if the enemy is further than 50-60 meters away from you. |
 | Luger P-08 | Class: any Price: 127800 Credits/ 1299 Gold Clip Size: 8 bullets Usage: paradoxically, a weaker version of Mauser C96. Fewer bullets in the clip, higher cost and the same overall effectiveness. Like the C96, it's only effective at close range. |
 | Panzerschreck 54 | Class: Infantryman Price: 35500 Credits/ 399 Gold Clip Size: 1 Usage: the only rocket launcher available to the German side. It's effective at dealing with any target, but it's less effective when used against heavy tanks. The only downside of this weapon is the astronomical renewal price - if you empty the ammo, refilling it will cost you as much as a new rocket launcher! |
 | Tellermine 42 | Class: any Price: 2130 Credits/ 31 Gold Clip Size: 2 Usage: an extremely cheap way of dealing with enemy vehicles. The mine deals extreme damage - it's able to blow up every single vehicle in the game with a single strike. Not effective when used against infantry - it simply won't detonate. |
 | Hafthohlladung H3 | Class: any Price: 14910 Credits/ 189 Gold Clip Size: 3 Usage: an effective weapon to use against enemy vehicles, because it can be thrown at a certain distance, eliminating the risk of being ran over by the enemy vehicle. It deals less damage than the Tellermine 42, which makes it less effective against heavy tanks. |
 | Stielhandgranate 24 | Class: any Price: 8520 Credits/ 119 Gold Clip Size: 4 Usage: your primary means of fighting the enemy infantry, as well as unarmored vehicles. Ineffective against tanks. |
 | S-Mine | Class: Recon Price: 14200 Credits/ 179 Gold Clip Size: 2 Usage: the equivalent of the Tellermine 42, but this time to be used against enemy infantry. Extremely effective - a single one will kill every soldier in the range, be it foe or an ally. Additionally, it's a little cheaper than the American mine. |
 | Seitengewehr 98 | Class: any Price: 7100 Credits/ 90 Gold Clip Size: - Usage: a hand-to-hand weapon. A single, well-aimed strike can kill an enemy soldier. Ineffective against other targets. |
 | Schanzzeug Spade | Class: any Price: 3550 Credits/ 49 Gold Clip Size: - Usage: cheaper and sooner available melee weapon. The equivalent of the Combat Knife, with the same flaws: effective only against infantry. |
 | Wrench | Class: any Price: 28401 Credits/ 330 Gold Clip Size: - Usage: this piece of equipment is used mainly to repair vehicles. Additionally, it can be used as a makeshift melee weapon. In combat, ineffective against anything that's not infantry. |
