[h2]M200 COLD OPERATIONS (SNIPER RIFLE) [/h2]
Freeze enemies dead in their tracks with the M200 Cold Operations, a sniper rifle equipped with a high-powered scope, a bipod, modified parts, a longer barrel, and a snow-white finish. This anti-materiel rifle is capable of devastating long-range accuracy. Thanks to its custom cartridge, it can hit targets from over 2000 meters away with minimal degradation in the bullet's ballistic performance. Contrary to popular belief, it cannot be easily operated on the move.

[h2]VEHICLE TYPES[/h2]
Vehicles are critical to battle strategy and immersion in World War 3. You can use them to move around maps, retreat, or push your advantage, and there are specific vehicle types specialized in combat and surveillance, too:

• Aerial Drones: Survey the battlefield with these eyes in the sky.
• Land Drones: Monitor proceedings surreptitiously from ground level.
• Transport Vehicles: Move quickly to an objective, to aid your squad, or get out of hot water.
• Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFVs): Outgun enemy squads with heavier firepower.
• Armored Fighting Vehicles (AFVs): Get extra protection as you go toe-to-toe with heavily-armed opponents.
• Tank Destroyers: Obliterate enemy vehicles and other targets.
• Main Battle Tanks: Roll up in one of history’s most iconic assault vehicles for fierce, hard-hitting tank combat.

Some vehicles are unmanned, while others can even carry several squadmates. Be sure to assign roles such as driver and gunner for maximum efficiency and preparedness.

Also, be wary of the strengths and weaknesses of your chosen transport. Vehicles’ sides and rears are more susceptible to damage, while the front of a vehicle is typically more heavily armored. Keep match-ups in mind too: while an IFV may be able to take out enemies on foot, a tank boasting thicker armor and heavier firepower will make short work of it.

You should also keep an eye out for other threats like AT mines, and enemy soldiers wielding rocket launchers or air strikes. Many of these threats can be countered but may leave you open to threats of other kinds. Adapt your strategy accordingly!



[h2]WHERE TO FIND VEHICLES IN WORLD WAR 3[/h2]
You can find vehicles in many places across certain maps. Keep an eye out, because it could just shift the tide of battle! You can also airdrop vehicles into battle as part of your Strikes loadout, so be sure to prepare well before every match.

If one team reaches 2,000 Points in a match, both teams will receive a Main Battle Tank as a reinforcement! This will only drop if a team doesn’t already have two vehicles on the map. As soon as a slot frees up, say hello to your new ride!



[h2]VEHICLE CUSTOMIZATION[/h2]
Just like with your weapons and gear, vehicles can be customized using Blueprints. You can unlock new Blueprints using different free and premium methods to make vehicles truly yours, and make your mark on the battlefield.

Even without additional skins or modifications, every vehicle is brought to life using reference material such as accurate blueprints and through careful research of the original models and prototypes. We hope you enjoy the commitment to detail and realism.

Firefights are the beating heart of World War 3. Join us as we take a closer look at gunplay in World War 3 in our latest Feature Spotlight!

[h2]INTRODUCTION TO GUNPLAY[/h2]
From the thrill of outmaneuvering enemies at close range to the relief of landing that critical shot, we want every key moment, every attack countered, and every shifting tide of battle to feel immersive and rewarding.

To that end, gun gameplay in World War 3 (gunplay for short) strikes a balance between fun and what we like to call playable realism. For example, you’ll have to adapt to different levels of recoil depending on whether you’re firing from the hip or aiming down your gun’s sights. Scoped weapons equipped with realistic magnification and red sightlines may also require you to hold your breath for a better shot.

After a short time getting to grips with these weapons, we hope that the realistic elements will become second nature to you.


[h2]WEAPON TYPES[/h2]
A balanced, carefully considered loadout is key to effective combat in World War 3. Raid your arsenal and load up with different types of weapons, including:

• Assault Rifles
• Shotguns
• Sniper Rifles
• Light Machine Guns (LMGs)
• Submachine Guns (SMGs)
• Designated Marksman Rifles (DMRs)
• Specials (e.g. Rocket Launchers)
• Secondaries (e.g. Pistols)

[h2]WEAPON ATTACHMENTS[/h2]
There are various types of attachments that can alter the performance of your weapon to suit different playstyles and battle scenarios. Switch between primary and secondary sights to tweak your battle approach, and practically guarantee your kills with the use of holographic sights.

Looking beyond sights, you can try out different weapon grips, muzzles, silencers, and even bipods for steadier shots. Need a better read on a target? Switch lasers and flashlights on and off for better targeting and visibility.

If you’re wondering how to juggle all these weapons and attachments, don’t forget about your Backpack! Use it to bring additional gear in battle and adapt your tactics on the fly. Try out different loadouts to find the best tools to help win the fight!


[h2]FIRING MODES[/h2]
If the enemy team is giving you grief, you may need to switch up your tactics by changing your firing mode:

• Single Fire: Allows you control and assurance while maintaining a low rate of fire.
• Burst Fire: Fires more powerful and controlled shots every time you pull the trigger.
• Automatic Fire: Switch things up to 11 with a continuous firing rate, which is great for providing covering fire and taking enemies down quickly and with extreme prejudice.

Outwit and outgun enemies by experimenting with different firing modes!


[h2]AMMUNITION[/h2]
While your standard ammunition is good for most combat engagements, you can also gear up with special ammo. Bring secondary ammo like hollow-point bullets into battle, and save them up for when you need an especially lethal shot.



You can’t rely on specializing in a single weapon to attain victory every time. Switch up your weapons and try to master different types, especially in different situations such as close-combat and long-range sniper battles. Adapt to survive and win in World War 3!

Open Beta marks the beginning of World War 3 YEAR 1, during which you can expect us to deliver four massive content updates called Operations. Take a look at the new YEAR 1 Content Roadmap to see what’s coming up in World War 3!



Operations are limited-time events accompanied by large content updates (think Seasons in other games). Operations are themed around new nations, and further expand the world of our game and escalate the conflict within it. We intend to launch additional game content with each Operation, ranging from weapons and strikes to turn the tide of war, to new modes, maps, gameplay features, and quality of life updates.

You’ll be able to complete challenges to unlock exclusive content from a Battle Pass themed around the current Operation, including Operator Blueprints, new weapons, strikes, customizations, and lots more. A free track of the Battle Pass will also be available, with additional items available to earn with the purchase of a premium Battle Pass.

The first Operation will launch in December 2022, with the next three following in 2023. We’ll have more intel for you as we approach the release of Operation 01, so stay frosty!
