Genre: Stealth


The Great Escape is a stealth-based video game by Pivotal games on the same engine as the Conflict series of games and an adapation of the 1963 film The Great Escape.

The game only allows the player to use firearms in a small handful of levels, only three missions of the game's 18 mission long campaign allow the player to use handheld firearms and only a couple of levels have the player using mounted weaponry that they can't carry with them. (With the rest having the player be unarmed for the entire mission.)

The following guns were used in the video game The Great Escape:


Rifle

Karabiner 98k

The Karabiner 98k rifle appears as the main weapon being used by Guards, due to the game's mechanics, it holds only one bullet per "magazine" but the reload animation is racking the bolt and no new rounds are inserted into the weapon, the Karabiner 98k is only usable by McDonald, who gets one with a scope in "Struggle in the Mountains", Hendley oddly never gets one, even in the Airfield level, (Where in the film, Hendley took a Karabiner 98k from a Luftwaffe Guard, while in the game Hendley instead sneaks around with a stolen uniform.) the Rifle can only be fired when standing still by both the player and NPCs.

Machine Guns

What appears to be the MG34 appears as the mounted machine gun of the game, it is called the MG42 inaccurately in the inventory screen.

Arminius HW-10

The "Arminius M10" which appears to be an Arminius HW-10 appears in "Last Train Home", while anachronistic, this may be accurate to the film, as there are unidentified revolvers that may or may not be Arminius revolvers. (According to the Talk page for the film.)

Other

Model 24 Stielhandgranate
