Commanders, get ready to expand your arsenals! On July 22th, a new Battle Pass season will begin with new rewards.
Main rewards of the season
SLR 1944 (USA, BR IV)
An experimental self-loading rifle from Canada, chambered for the 7.92x57mm Mauser cartridge. It was designed in just three months and it uses a 20-round magazine similar to that of the ZB-26. Plus, if you run out of ammo, you can always rely on its bayonet.
In the Elite Battle Pass, you will also find a unique IL-10 and a unique camouflage for the Chi-Nu II.
IL-10 “Green” (USSR)
Chi-Nu II - Additional armor
In this Battle Pass, you will receive an aircraft that can be assigned to its respective Attacker pilot squad and a camouflage that you can apply through the “Customization” menu of the respective tank.
And of course unique soldiers for Japan and Germany:
Kinshichi Kozuka - Guerrilla II (Japan)
Gottlob Binnermann - Assaulter IV (Germany) - requires Elite BP
As a reminder, Elite BP owners receive four unique weapons, two unique soldiers, one unique tank camouflage and one aircraft with unique camouflage by progressing in the Battle Pass. Meanwhile, players with basic BP receive one weapon and one unique soldier of the season.
Glad to finally see someone wear the german glasses, although I am a bit sad he isn’t a tier 3 assault, but still. Another fine soldier for my collection
This is admitedly not the same version as the 1944 SLR, however both would have been chambered in the same cartridge (8mm Mauser), the EX-1 was a further development of the previous one, and as far as I am aware the EX-1 changes does not include anything towards the magazine or magazine housing (the post-war EX-2 was the one rewored to the US T65 cartridge, not the EX-1, as far as I am aware).
Edit1: Might be a EX-2… the caption on Forgotten weapons said EX-1, that’s what I’m going after.
Edit2: I don’t think so, though… the magazine is clearly longer in the gun than the T65 magazines are.
Soldiers like this should come with their relevant uniforms and insignia, not just glasses, otherwise there is no reason to have them in the first place.
