There are a total of three weapons on display, including a double-barreled shotgun as well as silenced versions of the game’s M1903 Marksman rifle and the C93 pistol. Two new gadgets are also exhibited in the video. One of these is a collection of shell casings that could be thrown as a distraction in the single-player, while the other is a pair of binoculars with range-finding capabilities.
According to the video’s description, which details the time code for each demonstration, the weapons were picked up by Reddit prior to this video. However, this footage is the first depicting the new gadgets. The description also explains that the new gear is currently exclusive to DICE. While this could be another instance of DICE developers giving themselves exclusive weaponry, the new content seems too significant for this to be possible. More likely is that the weapons and equipment are currently in the testing phase and will be included in the next expansion—something supported by the double-barreled shotgun’s appearance in promotional artowrk for the game’s upcoming DLC pack, In The Name of the Tsar. (You can see it in the hands of the man in front of the horse.)
