In Battlefield 1942: The Road to Rome, a bayonet is mounted on the non-scoped K98K, replacing the combat knife. Its Allies equivalent is the No 4 and No 4 Sniper. When firing scoped in, the player must unscope to work the bolt. It has similar properties as the K98K, but with a slightly lower rate of fire and spread penalties when moving, double the bullet velocity and a larger amount of zoom. The K98Sniper is a variant of the K98K, issued to the Sniper kit of the Axis with the exception of the German Elite Forces, who use the Gewehr 43 ZF4. Additionally, the K98K has a switch delay of 0.25 seconds. This inability to quickly land follow-up shots, combined with its body-shot damage profile, means the K98K is a particularly poor choice for close range combat. The bolt must be cocked after each shot which takes around three seconds, potentially disrupting aim. Recoil is significant, but is a non-issue due to the weapon's low rate of fire.
The weapon is not affected by damage drop-off at range and has high accuracy, factors which bolster capabilities at distance. It has high damage, but can only guarantee a one-shot kill against a target with over 20hp (eight pips of health in the HUD) if it is a headshot - otherwise the K98K kills in two body shots or three leg shots. It is the standard issue rifle of the Axis Engineer kit, with the exception of the IJN who are issued the Type 5. The K98K is a weapon featured in Battlefield 1942.
