Trivia[]
In the Name of the Tsar marks Battlefield 1 as the first game in the Battlefield series to feature playable female soldiers in multiplayer.
Female soldiers featured in the expansion are based on the notorious Women's Battalion of Death of the Russian Army during World War 1.
Following release, the female soldier on the expansion's cover art replaced the Harlem Hellfighter soldier in the game's main menu.
The female soldier on the cover art is played by fashion model Vendelali.[5]
Many of the weapons in this DLC have highly detailed reload mechanics, reflected in each weapon's animations.
The General Liu Rifle was also planned to allow toggling between semi-auto and bolt-action firemodes, though this feature was incomplete and dropped in release.
Alongside Battlefield 4: Final Stand, the expansion was released for free to all players between May 23 to May 29, 2018[6] and June 5 to June 11,2018[7] as part of the Road To Battlefield V promotion.
