The "Guerrilla Warfare" update, in addition to visual improvements, unique mechanics and a new soldier class, will also bring a multitude of fascinating new weapons and vehicles for all countries. It's time to take a closer look at them!



Let's start with a new premium squad - paratroopers of the Ramcke Parachute Brigade will join the German army!

This squad, deployed to North Africa, is armed with an Italian submachine gun featuring a bayonet and a 20-round magazine. In terms of characteristics, it is quite similar to the Beretta M38A from the research tree - low recoil and a fire rate of 690 rounds per minute. These paratroopers will fit perfectly into your squad lineup for low BR.




[h3]KV-2 (1939) (BR IV)[/h3]
This legend needs no introduction - the Kliment Voroshilov tank with the 152-mm howitzer will now be available in the research tree!

Reload time is not its strength, but the 5 kilograms of explosives in its shells can destroy any tank with a well placed shot.

Unlike the 1940 modification (available with a premium tanker squad for Gold), this tank doesn't have a coaxial machine gun in its turret.


[h3]PPSh-41 "Obrez" (BR III)[/h3]
For guerrillas, the main disadvantages of the PPSh-41 were its size and weight. Replacing the drum magazine with a curved box magazine only partially solved the problem. Drastic measures had to be taken: to be able to carry it concealed, the submachine gun was stripped of its stock, and the barrel and its shroud were significantly shortened.

Along with this weapon you will also unlock a Soviet squad with soldiers of the new Guerrilla class.




[h3]A-20G-25-М8 (BR IV)[/h3]
This widely used modification of the multi-purpose aircraft carries 12 M8 rockets, which are lethal to infantry, instead of the 500-pound bombs.

Additionally, you will have six 12.7 mm Browning M2 machine guns at your disposal, just like on the bomber version.

In the past, this aircraft was available in Tunisia. Now it's time for it to fly over other battlefields as well!


[h3]Ithaca 37 (BR II)[/h3]
A well-known American pump-action shotgun with a 4-round tubular magazine, renowned for its simplicity and reliability, which was actively used by the Allies in the battles of the Pacific War.

In its class, it is on par with its analogues - equally effective at close range and for clearing rooms.

Along with this weapon you will also unlock an Australian squad with soldiers of the new Guerrilla class.




[h3]Marder III (BR III)[/h3]
A German self-propelled gun based on the captured Czechoslovakian Pz.Kpfw. 38(t) tank. They were particularly common on the Eastern Front - and will come in handy in Enlisted too!

The gun on this tank destroyer is also captured: the PaK 36(r) is a modernized version of the Soviet 76-mm F-22 gun. Its penetration is more than enough to take on any opponent in its BR and even above.

For fans of tactics, in addition to armor-piercing and high-explosive projectiles, a number of smoke shells are also available.


[h3]Marder III H (BR III)[/h3]
An improved version of the Marder III, based on the experience gained from the battles on the Eastern Front. The most mass-produced modification of its family!

Its main armament was replaced with the German 75 mm PaK 40 gun. Also, thanks to the much larger gun shield, the crew is better protected from shrapnel and small arms fire.

A non-obvious feature of this accurate and mobile vehicle is its gun’s horizontal guidance angles: up to 28 degrees to each side and 9 degree for vertical angles! This allows you to engage targets without exposing yourself too much.


[h3]PPSh-41 "Obrez" (BR III)[/h3]
The PPSh-41 was actively used in combat by the German militia due to the shortage of standard submachine guns.

In an attempt to maximize the portability of this rather heavy weapon, the barrel and shroud were crudely shortened, and the stock was sawed off.

Although the rate of fire remained the same - 1000 rounds per minute - this modification turned out to be even shorter than the one used by the Soviet guerrillas. The removed front sight was not replaced, so aiming is only possible using the rear sight.

Along with this weapon you will also unlock a German squad with soldiers of the new Guerrilla class.


[h3]Hs 129 B-3 (BR I)[/h3]
Behind the obscure name of this attack aircraft lies a tanker's worst nightmare!

The aircraft doesn't excel in speed or maneuverability, but it's equipped with a 75 mm cannon, which is similar to the PaK 40 both in accuracy and penetration - its armor-piercing shell can easily pierce more than 100 millimeters of armor!

In addition to the cannon, it also has a pair of 7.92 mm machine guns - useful if you manage to get on the tail of an inattentive pilot or shooting at a point filled with enemies.




[h3]FN Browning Auto-5 (BR II)[/h3]
A modification of the Browning semi-automatic shotgun for export - similar to the one you’ve already aseen in the hands of US soldiers. Its 5-round magazine and decent, 240 shots per minute, fire rate provide good firepower in close combat.

Soon the full power of this weapon will be at the disposal of Japanese specialists - engineers, assaulters, medics, APC drivers and, of course, guerrillas!

Along with this weapon you will also unlock a Japanese squad with soldiers of the new Guerrilla class.

Commanders, with the last update, we have improved the soldier’s movement animations in Enlisted!

Motion Matching algorithms have already made some of the transitions between movement animations much more realistic, such as sudden movements from a standing position, stopping after running or sprinting and turning in place. We plan to use this technology further to create additional transitional animations from other body positions.

Also, with Motion Matching, your soldiers' feet now "slide" much less when they turn or stop. And thanks to the improved inverse kinematics, you are now less likely to experience the "walking on air" effect on uneven terrain or its opposite, feet sinking into the ground.

We continue to tell you about the new additions of the upcoming major update. With it, a new class of soldiers will join Enlisted – guerrillas!

The soldiers in these squads have a difficult task – to sow the seeds of chaos in the ranks of the enemy through sabotage and ruin all their plans. Although guerrillas often prefer to stay in the shadows, they do not hesitate to meet the enemy face to face.



The most important and distinctive feature of the new class is their ability to enter most of the enemy's battle area without time restrictions. The only areas that remain off-limits are the infantry and vehicle spawn zones.



It's also worth mentioning that the overall mission boundaries for guerrillas remain unchanged - like all other classes, they cannot stray too far from the main battlefield.



Guerrillas can take significantly more TNT charges into battle - as many as five! With them, they can set up elaborate ambushes and fight tankers who think that staying outside the general battle area will save them.

Please note: This feature only works if you equip a TNT charge in their Mine slot.



Guerrillas have a special ammo pouch in which they carry ammunition for a wide variety of weapons: when you pick up a weapon, you get full ammunition for it.



This class feature will help you countless times in completing combat missions behind enemy lines.



Be among the first to try out the new class when the update is released! The bundle includes two premium guerrilla squads with captured weapons for the USSR and Germany!

Purchase the bundle before the major update is released to receive exclusive pre-order bonuses: a portrait and a nickname decorator.

If you're playing Enlisted on console, you can get these bonuses by purchasing one of the squads within 14 days of the update’s release.


Pre-order bonus: "Soviet guerrilla" portrait and "MP-40" nickname decorator.


[h3]Soviet guerrillas with MP-40 (USSR, BR II)[/h3]
Soviet guerrillas operating in occupied territories actively used captured German weapons, including the MP-40.

In the forest and rural areas where guerrillas operated, the MP-40 was convenient for close combat, ambushes, and sudden attacks on German columns and garrisons.


[h3]Volkssturm with PPS-43 (Germany, BR II)[/h3]
A significant number of PPS-43s fell into enemy hands and were actively used by Volkssturm units towards the end of the war.

Due to its compact size, light weight and reliability, the PPS-43 was excellent for sabotage operations, such as ambushes on retreating units and Allied patrols.

Additionally, this new soldier class will be featured in the upcoming "Reinforcements received" event. Plus, all countries will have access to it through research.

With the introduction of the "soft" rule for the matchmaker that forms teams from two adjacent Battle Ratings when there are enough players, the balance between players has noticeably improved.

Nevertheless, matches with BR I-III and BR III-V still sometimes occur to this day, which means there's a chance that a player might encounter an enemy tank with two BR higher than their own. The BR difference has a much larger impact on tanks than on firearms, so in the next major update, we are introducing a new mechanic designed to alleviate this problem!

Tanker squads of BR I in battles I-III and BR III in battles III-V, who find themselves in a fight against the most formidable opponents in terms of BR, will be able to spawn in a "replacement" tank supplied by command when clicking on the additional spawn point located next to the standard one!



You don't have to buy or even unlock them! These are combat vehicles that you can spawn with in a battle under the following conditions - if the enemy has a tank on the battlefield with the maximum possible BR of that session, and yours is at least two BR lower.

In a BR I-III battle, if you only have a BR I tank, after an opponent spawns with a BR III tank, you will have the opportunity to switch to a BR II tank instead of your own. Same for BR III-V, if your opponent uses a BR V tank and your tank is at least 2 BR lower, you will have access to a BR IV tank.



If the enemy's higher BR tank is destroyed before you spawn in battle, this additional tank spawn point will disappear.

It's important to note that these tanks won’t have any upgrades. Even if you already have the same tanks purchased and upgraded in your hangar, their upgrades will not transfer to the replacements.

Your selected tankers will act as the temporary crew of the new tank. If your squad consists of more soldiers than the tank’s maximum crew size, some of your soldiers will have to stay behind. If less than that, no new tankers will be added to to your squad to fill the missing roles.

In the upcoming update, many of the wheeled and tracked vehicle models will visually improve: the way suspensions work will become more detailed, and tracks and radio antennas will move according to the laws of physics.

Each spring and track link will react to uneven terrain and antennas will sway when the vehicle is moving, which will look fantastic and realistic when looked at. This new effect will not impact the performance of the game or the off-road capability of your vehicles, but it will add a bit of soul to machines under your command.

Gradually, this mechanic will be implemented for all vehicle models in the game.
