Gallipoli Weapons — The WW1 Arsenal
Gallipoli features 50+ historically accurate weapons and equipment for the British and Ottoman Empires, from bolt-action rifles to heavy machine guns and grenades.
Core Weapon Mechanics
| Mechanic | Description | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| One-Shot, One-Kill | Weighty, hardcore gunplay — most rifles drop a target in a single hit. Positioning beats spray. | Core |
| Methodical Reloads | Reloads are slow and deliberate; keep your momentum and don't get caught mid-reload. | Core |
| Weapon Familiarity | Your aim, handling and reload under suppression improve with experience on each weapon. | High |
| Suppression | Suppressed players take more flinch and worse aim — HMG fire is the biggest threat. | High |
| Kit Weight | Each kit has a weight and ammo count that affect your movement and stamina. | Medium |
| Faction Arsenals | British and Ottoman sides get different weapons — your loadout depends on which empire you fight for. | Medium |
