DICE has finally decided to unleash the female soldier onto the multiplayer landscape of its seminal World War I game; Battlefield 1. The Russian Scout class will be represented by it’s historically accurate counterparts; the Russian Women’s Battalion of Death. Led by Maria Leontievna Bochkareva, the 300 females in her unit fought in the Kerensky Offensive and were involved in a major battle of the war. Even though raped and degraded by her own Russian male soldiers, she found respect after being wounded twice and decorated three times for bravery. She even defeated a German soldier with a bayonet in hand to hand combat to add to her legend. She was a tough woman!



I’ve been holding off on getting the season pass DLC for Battlefield 1, but this “In The Name of the Tsar” DLC intrigues me as it includes more maps also. I can’t wait to shoot some fools in the face with a female character and teabag their bodies. Let the rage quitting commence! What do you think? Do you care if there is a female scout in the game? Do you think that they should have left it out even though it is historically correct?

Battlefield 1 publisher EA has announced the game’s first female multiplayer character, to be added via upcoming expansion In The Name of the Tsar. Battlefield’s global community manager Dan Mitre shared our first look at the fighter on Twitter last night. The unnamed soldier will be part of the 1st Russian Women’s Battalion of Death. The all-female squad was formed in real life in 1917, and was one of several such battalions from Russia to be involved in the war.
