From April 11th (13:00 UTC) to April 17th (13:00 UTC), you can get a rare variant of the Gewehr 98 rifle for completing tasks.
For completing 5 out of the 9 tasks, you will receive one collectible melee weapon for any army of your choice, and for 8 completed tasks, a unique Gewehr 98 Wartime mod for your German army.
In early April 1898, the Imperial German Army adopted and started the mass production of the Gewehr 98 rifle, a bolt-action rifle made by Mauser.
The rifle was baptized in the trenches of World War I, where it proved to be highly accurate and effective. Later, in the harsh conditions of World War II, the rifle also proved its durability and reliability and continued to be in service.
This Mauser rifle (as well as many others before and after the Gewehr 98) proved to be so successful and effective that many of its design solutions are still used in shooting sports, hunting and sniper rifles. The Gewehr 98 has an impressive record: an estimated 100 million rifles have been produced, making it the most mass-produced rifle in history!

Unique weapons are always nice to see . But will there ever be an event in the future where we can get special grenades? Thats the only thing missing from the loadout of my engineer
I think Kar98k Trench as intended as a limited item, for early backers only - it was only possible to get it for supporting the game when it was being launched
Hmm, as far as I know pickelhaube were made out of hardened leather. This silvery colour is quite surprising.
(Can someone tell me if there were also metal variants?)
I doubt it originates from around 1900 though.
Unless german army had a super secret can of silver spray to paint generals’ helmets (actually the guy is a NCO).
