The first Battlefield 1 that is now almost confirmed to hit gamers early next year could introduce an all new Crossbow Grenade launcher. This weapon has now come to the fore thanks to a renowned game tipster.

Game tipster Westie (via his new YouTube video) claims to have found an image which he believes is of a new DLC weapon slated for release soon.

Westie quotes an art website called ArtStation and also a post by the lead artist of Battlefield 1 Peter Olofsson Hermanrud, who is said to have posted images that are believed to be that of new weapons.

One of the images posted clearly shows a Crossbow Grenade Launcher. Check this picture out, below:

An interesting aspect to note here is the fact that the weapon (Crossbow Grenade Launcher) in the above image looks similar to the Xbow that was offered, to gamers in Battlefield 3, within a DLC. Therefore suspicions, with respect to the Crossbow Grenade Launcher being offered within a future Battlefield 1 DLC, only increase at this point in time.

Westie also estimates that Battlefield 1 gamers would make use of the Crossbow Grenade Launcher (in case the weapon seeds officially) as a secondary gadget to supplement the likes of SMG and important rifles. The purported Grenade launcher could also fit into the Medic Class; rather than the Assault, Scout and Support classes.

Finally, Battlefield 1 gamers are advised to look at the first DLC to the game that is now slated to release in March 2017 with avid interest. The Crossbow Grenade Launcher could prove to be a dark horse in gamers' arsenal.
