Battle Pass: Fifth Season of 2026

Shouldn’t they make the reload time slower by making it reloadable with stripper clips only, like all the other “big mag modifications” made by other countries on some of their rifles ?

I also saw some people complain that it didn’t have a bayonet, but I want to reassure them that this is completely normal, the rifle in question didn’t have a bayonet lug:

And yes, it was a rifle, a short rifle to be more precise, not a carbine. You can find a bit more explanations here :

That might not be necessary, as Arisaka rifles had a magazine release lever inside of the trigger guard, which perhaps could still work even with bigger Type 96 MG magazine.

vid from Forgotten weapons channel. (Mag release caused troubles for Russians when bought Arisakas were used with thick winter gloves so they had to disable them.)

Which faction is everyone playing more lately? Personally I’m enjoying the ruthlessness of enduring BR III Soviets. But I don’t like our version of Manchuria map. The current one is getting tired very quickly. But Moscow. Even thought it’s much older I don’t get tired of playing the same maps.

I “play any” but I’m BR1 on everyone except Deutsch, aka, i play BR2 for everyone except Germans where I play BR3.

Probably because the old maps are genuinely fun.
If you look at the new maps, they’re basically just pieced together from old map assets.
Longtime players like us can easily tell which parts are reused content.
Not to mention Manchuria—it doesn’t reference real geography at all.
I’ve been maining Germany lately too.

All the good Soviet gear gets dumped straight into BR4, it’s just boring. Only the US gets all the good picks—they put basically the same top-tier stuff at BR2 or BR3 instead.

Can we expect that the Type 38 Carbine will have it’s RoF buffed to be above that of the Type 38 Rifle…?
