52 Weapons Found in Battlefield Labs Build - But Don’t Expect Them All at Launch

A closer look at the massive datamined arsenal from the latest Battlefield Labs client

In the world of Battlefield franchise, leaks have become almost a tradition. Whether it’s glimpses at upcoming maps, features, or weapons, data miners often manage to dig up content before it’s officially revealed. This time, the spotlight is on the recent Battlefield Labs build - a testing client designed to gather player feedback in a controlled environment. But thanks to well-known leaker Temporyal, fans now have a detailed look at one of the biggest revelations yet: a full slate of 52 weapons buried in the game files.

The findings quickly made waves across Reddit, Twitter, and podcasts, including ours—Battlefield One Podcast—where we broke it down in Episode 42. But as exciting as this massive arsenal sounds, there’s an important caveat: not all of these weapons are guaranteed to make it into the final game, and especially not on launch day.

The Full Weapon List Found in the Files

Temporyal’s datamine uncovered a wide variety of weapons across multiple categories. Some are modern-day classics, while others are fictional creations—likely added to avoid legal issues or intellectual property rights related to real-world firearm names.

Don’t Expect Real Names—Here’s Why

One key detail that players need to be aware of is that although these weapons resemble real-world guns, they will not appear in the game using their real names. Instead, Battlefield - like many other shooters in recent years—is opting for fake or imaginary weapon names across the board.

Why? It's not about avoiding licensing fees. It’s about legal safety. Following a highly publicized lawsuit in the U.S. that connected a school shooting to a weapon used in Call of Duty, publishers have grown increasingly cautious about the direct use of real firearm names. Even if a game is not at fault, being named in such a case can lead to costly legal battles and brand damage.

As discussed on our podcast, this approach gives developers and publishers a layer of protection. A weapon may look, sound, and shoot like an HK433 or M4A1, but it will be named something generic and fictional in the game—like “KRM-20” or “VX-R.” The goal is to avoid drawing direct connections between in-game weapons and real-world violence.

So yes, the Battlefield arsenal will still feel grounded and familiar—but don’t expect to see “SCAR-L” written in your loadout menu.

This a Sign of Launch Readiness? Not Quite.

Some fans have taken the weapon list as a signal that the game is more complete than expected—but that’s not necessarily the case. On our podcast, we emphasized that the current Battlefield Labs playtest builds are very much still in alpha. Animations are rough, textures are missing, and overall polish is still far off. Players who participated in these sessions repeatedly described the game as “early,” with plenty of placeholder content and incomplete systems.

This aligns with our prediction that the game likely won’t launch in 2025, despite past assumptions. If anything, the sheer amount of unfinished but present content suggests a longer development timeline, likely extending into early 2026 or even beyond.

What Does It All Mean for Players?

Here’s the bottom line: while 52 weapons in the files is certainly a promising number, you should not expect all of them to appear on day one. In fact, history suggests only a curated set will be included at launch, with others rolled out across multiple seasons, tied to battle passes, events, or expansions.

Still, the variety in weapon types is encouraging. We’re seeing attention across the board—from classic assault rifles to PDWs, bolt-action snipers, and shotguns. This hints that the game’s core combat experience could be much more fleshed out than its predecessor. And that’s something the community has been desperately asking for.

The leaks, while unofficial, serve an important purpose: they show us the scope of the vision behind the next Battlefield title. The weapons are diverse. The categories are well-covered. The groundwork is clearly being laid for a much richer sandbox than what players experienced in Battlefield 2042.

But as we said on Battlefield One Podcast: don’t confuse potential with promise. This is all early-stage, subject-to-change content. That means a lot can still happen between now and release - whenever that might be.
