Anti-tank warfare emerged from World War I efforts to counter early tanks with specialized rifles and tactics. German forces pioneered weapons like scaled-up bolt-action rifles firing large cartridges to pierce thin armor and disable engines or crews. This DLC brings that legacy to BattleRush with two unique fighters equipped for anti-tank combat.
Players wield these fighters in fast-paced action across massively multiplayer battles on PC. Infantry tackle armored threats using historical anti-tank guns, grenades, and tactics refined through decades of doctrine. Fans of indie free-to-play shooters drawn to precise, high-stakes engagements will find a focused expansion here.
Anti-tank warfare arose as a result of the need to develop technology and tactics to destroy tanks during World War I. Since the first tanks were developed by the Triple Entente in 1916 but not operated in battle until 1917, the first anti-tank weapons were developed by the German Empire. The first developed anti-tank weapon was a scaled-up bolt-action rifle, the Mauser 1918 T-Gewehr that fired a 13mm cartridge with a solid bullet that could penetrate the thin armor of tanks of the time and destroy the engine or ricochet inside killing occupants. Because tanks represent an enemy's greatest force projection on land, anti-tank warfare has been incorporated into the doctrine of nearly every combat service since. Most predominant anti-tank weapons at the start of World War II were the tank-mounted gun, anti-tank guns and anti-tank grenades used by the infantry as well as ground-attack aircraft.
The DLS contains 2 unique fighters with anti-tank weapons.
