- ―Description of the Dieselgewehr.[src]
The Dieselgewehr (lit. "Diesel Rifle") later named the Dieselhammer (lit. "Diesel Hammer") is a heavy incendiary weapon, unlike a traditional flamethrower, the Dieselgewehr utilizes a compression motor to propel fireballs at the target rather than unleashing a steady stream of fire. The Dieselgewehr is one of the new primary weapon for Super Soldier 1961 in and is first introduced in Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus.
Much like the Lasergewehr, the Ubergewehr, or the Hammergewehr, it is classified as a heavy weapon that can deal great damage to both armored enemies and mechanical units.

History and Locations[]
The New Colossus[]
In The New Colossus, it is often found mounted on tripods in strategic points, hidden in wooden supply crates, inside weapon armory, or being duel wielded by Super Soldiers.
Youngblood[]
In Youngblood, it is duel-wielded by Diesel-Supersoldat while still being found in wooden supply crates scattered around Neu-Paris, or mounted on tripods in front of checkpoints or high value installations.
Strategy[]
The New Colossus[]
- The Dieselgewehr is very useful in corridors where enemies are more likely to be clumped together. If used properly, it can be devastating against large groups of enemies.
- Much like the other heavy weapons, the Dieselgewehr is very effective against armored units such as the Super Soldiers or Panzerhunds due to its high fire rate and powerful area-of-effect damage. However, it is risky to use against Zitadelle units due to their tendencies to be out in the open and the Dieselgewehr's reliance on close range and tight spaces.
- It should be noted that the ammo capacity is relatively low and one should pay close attention to it. If your Dieselgewehr runs out of ammo, it is best to drop it and continue with standard weaponry, unless a fuel station or a dropped Dieselgewehr is nearby, in which case it can be refueled and used again.
- Another flaw of the weapon if that if you charge it up to fire, the flaming fuel can block the player's vision in dark areas.
- Super Soldiers' using the weapons can hit you in cover with the weapon, as the explosion post hit can damaged the player.
Youngblood[]
- Players are unable to wield the Dieselhammer until they have accrued enough XP from enemy kills and Supply Crates to reach Level 4 and unlock the Bigger Guns Ability.
- Conversely players will be unable to add the Dieselhammer to their inventory until they reach Level 20 and unlock the Extreme Gun Pocket Ability.
- Youngblood has a weapon mastery system for all weapons. The Dieselhammer will gain a +4% damage per level, with each level requiring 40 enemies kill per level. With a max level cap of 25, it requires 1000 enemy kills to max out its damage buff of +100%.
- Ammo is very scarce and limited due to the removal of charging stations in Youngblood making it a weapon to only use for certain high level enemies (e.g. Laserhund, Zitadelle & the Zerstörer). That being said, players can find ammo both from downed Diesel-Supersoldat, or from wooden supply crates scattered around the districts of occupied Paris.
