{{Construction}}'''Weapon Variants''' is a feature first introduced ''[[Battlefield Heroes]]'' and ''[[Battlefield Play4Free]]'' and was carried over to ''[[Battlefield 1]]''. In ''Heroes'' and ''Play4Free'', they feature as mainly cosmetic alterations with very minor stat changes. In ''Battlefield 1'', it is a form of weapon customization and weapon progression where individual variants feature different attachments and properties. A weapon variants system also appeared in minor forms in ''[[Battlefield 3]]'' and ''[[Battlefield 4]]''.

==Battlefield Heroes==
  +
In ''Battlefield Heroes'', the weapon variant system namely consists of four individual qualities, being '''Stolen'''/'''Pilfered''','''Dapper'''/'''Stylish''', '''Super'''/'''Uber''', and '''Golden'''. Qualities are often determined by the team the weapon is available to, with the exception to Golden weapons.
  +
  +
===Stolen and Pilfered===
  +
'''Stolen and Pilfered''' weapons, also referred to as '''Black Market''' weapons, are weapons that are statistically and cosmetically identical weapons available to the enemy team, released on May 19th, 2010.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20100522100057/http://www.battlefieldheroes.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=138535 May 19th, 2010 - Black Market weapons are in!]</ref> Royal Army weapons available to the National Army are referred to as "Stolen", whereas the opposite are referred to as "Pilfered". Each stolen and pilfered weapon is unlocked seperately from the base weapon. Stolen and Pilfered qualities can be found combined with every other quality. Stolen and Pilfered weapons are exclusive to the base game weapons and the [[Battlefield Heroes: Battlefield Heroes Gets Bad Company|Battlefield Heroes Gets Bad Company]] update weapons.

  +
'''Dapper and Stylish''' weapons are weapons that are statistically identical weapons to their base versions, however sporting a different cosmetic look. They were available for purchase with {{bfunds}} or {{p4fh}}, and were released in the [[Battlefield Heroes: Heroes of the Fall|Heroes of the Fall]] update. [[Royal Army]] weapons are referred to as "Dapper", whereas [[National Army]] weapons are referred to as "Stylish". Dapper and Stylish qualities can be found combined with the Stolen and Pilfered quality, released on May 25th, 2010.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20100528105718/http://www.battlefieldheroes.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=140242 May 25th, 2010 - Dapper and Stylish Black Market Weapons now live!]</ref> Dapper and Stylish weapons are also exclusive to the certain base game weapons.

===Super and Uber===
  +
[[File:BFH Bernie's Super Bone Chewer.png|right]]
  +
[[File:BFH Wolfgang's Uber Wonderful.png|right]]
  +
'''Super and Uber''' weapons are weapons that are statistically and cosmetically different weapons to their base versions, featuring minor stat changes. They were available for purchase with {{bfunds}}, {{vp}}, or {{p4fh}}, and can be unlocked at level 10 for a specific faction and class. They were released for the [[Battlefield Heroes: Winter Armistice|Winter Armistice]] update, with a new weapon class being released from December 1st, 2009 to December 7th, 2009. Super and Uber weapons often contained a statistical boost, such as modified damage over range values, magazine sizes, and critical hit chance. Royal Army weapons are referred to as "Super", whereas National Army weapons are referred to as "Uber". Super and Uber qualities can be found combined with the Stolen and Pilfered quality, and are similar to the Golden quality. Super and Uber weapons are also exclusive to base game weapons, and are statistically identical to the [[Battlefield Heroes: Battlefield Heroes Gets Bad Company|Battlefield Heroes Gets Bad Company]] and [[Battlefield Heroes: Medal of Honor|Medal of Honor]] update weapons. During the Black Friday sale from November 22nd, 2010 to November 29th, 2010, all Super and Uber weapons, including stolen and pilfered versions, were on a 40% off discount.<ref>[http://www.battlefieldheroes.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=187963 Black Friday Sale] {{Dead link}}</ref>

  +
[[File:BFH Golden AK74.png|right]]
  +
'''Golden''' weapons are exclusive weapons that are statistically identical weapons to their regular super and uber versions, featuring a golden finish. They were available to be earned via guessing the champion teams of various games ({{w|Spain}} in 2010 and 2012, {{w|Germany}} in 2014) of the {{w|2010 FIFA World Cup}} <small>([[Battlefield Heroes: Football Fiesta|Football Fiesta 2010]])</small>, {{w|UEFA Euro 2012}} <small>([[Battlefield Heroes: Football Fiesta|Football Fiesta 2012]])</small>, and the {{w|2014 FIFA World Cup}} <small>([[Battlefield Heroes: Football Fiesta|Football Fiesta 2014]])</small> via purchasing [[Battlefield Heroes Customization|cosmetic items]] from the store. Golden weapons released in 2013 were available through [[Top Up Gift]]s, which were then moved to the [[Premium Store]]. Golden weapons are statistically identical to the base, super or uber variants of each weapon, depending on the weapon.
  +
  +
Each update wave introduced new golden weapons over time. The first wave in 2010 featured golden variants of the weapons released in the [[Battlefield Heroes: Battlefield Heroes Gets Bad Company|Battlefield Heroes Gets Bad Company]] update. The second wave in 2012 introduced golden variants of specific Super and Uber weapons. The third wave in 2013 introduced golden variants of certain weapons via Top Up Gifts. The fourth wave in 2014 introduced Stolen and Pilfered variants of the 2010 weapons. Golden quality can be found combined with the Stolen and Pilfered quality.

==Battlefield 3==
  +
{{Stub/section}}''Battlefield 3'' featured weapon variants for secondaries, each with their own attachments, replacing the attachment system found on primary weapons.
  +
  +
==Battlefield 4==
  +
''Battlefield 4'' featured weapon variants for [[Battle Pickup#Battlefield 4|Battle Pickups]]. These variants generally feature minor attachment differences (commonly optics), as players cannot modify the attachments of Battle Pickups. Examples include:
  +
  +
*[[M82#Battlefield 4|M82A3]], [[M82#Battlefield 4|M82A3 MID]] and [[M82#Battlefield 4|M82A3 CQB]]
  +
*[[AMR-2]], [[AMR-2|AMR-2 MID]] and [[AMR-2|AMR-2 CQB]]
  +
*[[USAS-12#Battlefield 4|USAS-12]] and [[USAS-12#Battlefield 4|USAS-12 FLIR]]
  +
*[[M60#M60-ULT|M60-ULT]]
  +
  +
==Battlefield 1==
  +
In ''[[Battlefield 1]]'', weapon variants replaces the weapon customization systems seen in ''[[Battlefield 3]]'' and ''[[Battlefield 4]]'', packaging several weapon mods into a single variant.
  +
  +
Most multiplayer weapons in ''Battlefield 1'' feature 3 weapon variants. DLC weapons and Class Rank 10 weapons usually have less variants. [[Carbine#Pistol-Caliber Carbine|Pistol-caliber carbines]] and [[handgun]]s generally have no variants — while most pistol-caliber carbines in-game are modified handguns, they are fully distinct weapons gameplay-wise.
  +
  +
Some weapons may have additional variants found only in singleplayer. Some weapons feature [[Battlefield 1 Customization|exclusive variants]] available from Booster Packs (e.g. [[P08|Red Baron's P08]]).
  +
  +
Weapon variants are indicated by different suffixes behind weapons, while Booster Pack weapon variants are indicated by prefixed names. Weapon variant suffixes during ''Battlefield 1'' alpha use a two-letter acronym system.
  +
  +
===Factory===
  +
  +
'''Factory''' (- FA during Alpha) is the base variant for many weapons, primarily SMGs and Self-Loading Rifles. These variants have no attachments and regain accuracy quicker. They are often the first variant unlocked.

===Trench===
  +
  +
'''Trench''' (- TR during Alpha) is a variant for multiple weapon classes. In most cases, it applies a [[Foregrip]] and improves hip fire.
  +
  +
For Single-Action Rifles, there are only two cases: [[Russian 1895|Russian 1895 Trench]] and the [[Carcano M91 Carbine]], which, despite its name, is a Trench variant. For Single-Action Rifles, Trench variants are a mixture of both Factory and Carbine, having improved hipfire/lower recoil increase of a Carbine, but the aim down sight while moving spread and spread decrease is identical to Infantry variants.
  +
  +
While the base variant of the [[M1917 Trench Carbine]] doesn't have Trench as a suffix, it is functionally a trench variant.

'''Marksman''' (- SH during Alpha, Sharpshooter during Beta) is a variant for Self-Loading Rifles and Single-Action Rifles. On Self-Loading Rifles, the variant attaches a [[Sight#Sniper Scope|High-powered scope]] and a foregrip.
  +
  +
On Single-Action Rifles, the variant attaches a medium-powered [[Sight#Telescopic Sight|Telescopic Sight]] and [[Palm Rest]], the Marksman rifle have low power scopes for medium range engagements. They have very little sway and can be "steadied" to have no sway if need be. Originally, they do not have [[Scope Glint]] until the [https://www.battlefield.com/news/update-notes/weapons-crate-update Weapons Crate Update] in May 2018. When firing, one must unzoom to pull back the bolt with the exception of the [[Ross MkIII]] and [[Gewehr M.95]] due to their [[Straight Pull Bolt#Battlefield 1|straight pull]] nature.

This article is currently under construction. It may contain little or inaccurate information.

Weapon Variants is a feature first introduced Battlefield Heroes and Battlefield Play4Free and was carried over to Battlefield 1. In Heroes and Play4Free, they feature as mainly cosmetic alterations with very minor stat changes. In Battlefield 1, it is a form of weapon customization and weapon progression where individual variants feature different attachments and properties. A weapon variants system also appeared in minor forms in Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4.

Battlefield Heroes

In Battlefield Heroes, the weapon variant system namely consists of four individual qualities, being Stolen/Pilfered,Dapper/Stylish, Super/Uber, and Golden. Qualities are often determined by the team the weapon is available to, with the exception to Golden weapons.

Stolen and Pilfered

Stolen and Pilfered weapons, also referred to as Black Market weapons, are weapons that are statistically and cosmetically identical weapons available to the enemy team, released on May 19th, 2010.[1] Royal Army weapons available to the National Army are referred to as "Stolen", whereas the opposite are referred to as "Pilfered". Each stolen and pilfered weapon is unlocked seperately from the base weapon. Stolen and Pilfered qualities can be found combined with every other quality. Stolen and Pilfered weapons are exclusive to the base game weapons and the Battlefield Heroes Gets Bad Company update weapons.

Dapper and Stylish

BFH Bernie's Dapper Bone Chewer
BFH Wolfgang's Stylish Wonderful

Dapper and Stylish weapons are weapons that are statistically identical weapons to their base versions, however sporting a different cosmetic look. They were available for purchase with Battlefunds or P4F Funds BFH, and were released in the Heroes of the Fall update. Royal Army weapons are referred to as "Dapper", whereas National Army weapons are referred to as "Stylish". Dapper and Stylish qualities can be found combined with the Stolen and Pilfered quality, released on May 25th, 2010.[2] Dapper and Stylish weapons are also exclusive to the certain base game weapons.

Super and Uber

BFH Bernie's Super Bone Chewer
BFH Wolfgang's Uber Wonderful

Super and Uber weapons are weapons that are statistically and cosmetically different weapons to their base versions, featuring minor stat changes. They were available for purchase with Battlefunds, Valor Point BFH, or P4F Funds BFH, and can be unlocked at level 10 for a specific faction and class. They were released for the Winter Armistice update, with a new weapon class being released from December 1st, 2009 to December 7th, 2009. Super and Uber weapons often contained a statistical boost, such as modified damage over range values, magazine sizes, and critical hit chance. Royal Army weapons are referred to as "Super", whereas National Army weapons are referred to as "Uber". Super and Uber qualities can be found combined with the Stolen and Pilfered quality, and are similar to the Golden quality. Super and Uber weapons are also exclusive to base game weapons, and are statistically identical to the Battlefield Heroes Gets Bad Company and Medal of Honor update weapons. During the Black Friday sale from November 22nd, 2010 to November 29th, 2010, all Super and Uber weapons, including stolen and pilfered versions, were on a 40% off discount.[3]

Golden

BFH Golden M16
BFH Golden AK74

Golden weapons are exclusive weapons that are statistically identical weapons to their regular super and uber versions, featuring a golden finish. They were available to be earned via guessing the champion teams of various games (Spain in 2010 and 2012, Germany in 2014) of the 2010 FIFA World Cup (Football Fiesta 2010), UEFA Euro 2012 (Football Fiesta 2012), and the 2014 FIFA World Cup (Football Fiesta 2014) via purchasing cosmetic items from the store. Golden weapons released in 2013 were available through Top Up Gifts, which were then moved to the Premium Store. Golden weapons are statistically identical to the base, super or uber variants of each weapon, depending on the weapon.

Each update wave introduced new golden weapons over time. The first wave in 2010 featured golden variants of the weapons released in the Battlefield Heroes Gets Bad Company update. The second wave in 2012 introduced golden variants of specific Super and Uber weapons. The third wave in 2013 introduced golden variants of certain weapons via Top Up Gifts. The fourth wave in 2014 introduced Stolen and Pilfered variants of the 2010 weapons. Golden quality can be found combined with the Stolen and Pilfered quality.

Battlefield 3

BF1 Puzzle Piece This section is a stub. It is short and in need of fortification. Why not improve this section?

Battlefield 3 featured weapon variants for secondaries, each with their own attachments, replacing the attachment system found on primary weapons.

Battlefield 4

Battlefield 4 featured weapon variants for Battle Pickups. These variants generally feature minor attachment differences (commonly optics), as players cannot modify the attachments of Battle Pickups. Examples include:

Battlefield 1

In Battlefield 1, weapon variants replaces the weapon customization systems seen in Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4, packaging several weapon mods into a single variant.

Most multiplayer weapons in Battlefield 1 feature 3 weapon variants. DLC weapons and Class Rank 10 weapons usually have less variants. Pistol-caliber carbines and handguns generally have no variants — while most pistol-caliber carbines in-game are modified handguns, they are fully distinct weapons gameplay-wise.

Some weapons may have additional variants found only in singleplayer. Some weapons feature exclusive variants available from Booster Packs (e.g. Red Baron's P08).

Weapon variants are indicated by different suffixes behind weapons, while Booster Pack weapon variants are indicated by prefixed names. Weapon variant suffixes during Battlefield 1 alpha use a two-letter acronym system.

Factory

Factory (- FA during Alpha) is the base variant for many weapons, primarily SMGs and Self-Loading Rifles. These variants have no attachments and regain accuracy quicker. They are often the first variant unlocked.

For Single-Action Rifles, there are only two cases: Russian 1895 Trench and the Carcano M91 Carbine, which, despite its name, is a Trench variant. For Single-Action Rifles, Trench variants are a mixture of both Factory and Carbine, having improved hipfire/lower recoil increase of a Carbine, but the aim down sight while moving spread and spread decrease is identical to Infantry variants.

While the base variant of the M1917 Trench Carbine doesn't have Trench as a suffix, it is functionally a trench variant.

Trivia

Battlefield Heroes

  • Stolen and Pilfered weapons carry the same animations as their original versions to the soldiers, resulting in mismatched animation sets for the characters, including the firing angle of the weapon. Despite this, the bullets still originate from the same location upon the body.

Battlefield 1

  • The Suppressive variant was originally known as the Suppressor variant. The name was likely changed to avoid confusion with the sound suppressor, which the variant does not have.
  • Backbored refers to a shotgun modification known as "backboring", where the weapon's barrel interior diameter is increased with tools, lowering the barrel pressure and shortening the shot string.
