Additions
Weapons
Released with the update arrived three ranged weapons and one melee weapon. The ranged weapons include the Orso submachine gun, the Volkssturmgewehr rifle, and the 9mm SAP pistol, whilst the melee weapon is the Combat Knife. Players are able to earn these weapons via completing specific challenges or opening a variant in a supply drop. Opening a variant in a supply drop does not grant the player the base weapon, however they are free to use the variant they have obtained. The only exception to this all is the 9mm SAP, which is unlocked by prestigting the new Resistance division once.
Gamemodes
Demolition and Prop Hunt playlists are exclusively available as Featured Gamemodes playlists in the duration of The Resistance event. The gamemodes are available to all players.
Resistance Division
The 6th division is added to Call of Duty: WWII multiplayer in The Resistance, known as the Resistance Division. All players will have free access to the new Resistance Division starting January 23rd. The new division embodies the skills and experience of citizen soldiers from across Europe, and features the new Tactical Knife Skill, a new 9mm SAP Pistol, as well as new skills that can alter the tide of battle, such as the ability to scramble enemy maps.
