Captured Weapons

Captured weapons are a feature that allows soldiers from one faction to use weapons of another faction, though usually at much greater effort and expense than obtaining native weapons. It is also used to obtain some weapons not normally available for a certain class, currently only the Sturmgewehr 44 for Tank Crew and the FG42 Ausf. E for Infantry.

Explosives, Anti-tank and Close Combat Weapons
The majority of these weapons can be unlocked simply by progressing through the respective ribbons as normal, however, captured weapons are usually unlocked at a later stage in the ribbon compared to the native faction.

Standard Firearms
These are unlocked by progressing through the weapon's Specialist Ribbon, unlocked at 9th Grade for most weapons but 11th Grade with the PTRS-41, Sturmgewehr 44 for Tank Crew and FG42 Ausf. E for Infantry. Weapon specialist ribbons for captured weapons do not appear in the loadout screen by default and will only become available to view once the weapon has been picked up and used in the Action Game.

Captured weapons can unlock the same modifications as in their native faction, however this is subject to the same class limitations - so for example Recon-exclusive upgrades only remain available for weapons captured on Recon. This is also the case for 'special' captured weapons like the Sturmgewehr 44 for Tank Crew and the FG42 Ausf. E for Infantry, which only have the Jägerpatrone Kurz and S.S. Patrone ammunition upgrades available.
