Death Korps units prefer to use [[Meltagun]]s and [[Heavy Bolter]]s, but also have access to Mortars, Heavy Stubbers, Lascannons, Autocannons and Flamers. As with most Imperial Guard their standard issue individual weapon is the Lasgun and many carry a Laspistol. The multi purpose knife carried by all members of the Death Korps is a bayonet but also a field tool. The citizens of Krieg are gloomy but hard working, and this is reflected in the weapons and equipment used by the Death Korps which is very utilitarian compared to many Imperial Guard regiments, but ultimately, fit for purpose.
The rebellion on Krieg saw the creation of may many variants of known vehicles including the [[Ragnarok heavy tank]] as an alternative to the [[Leman Russ]] and the [[SeigfriedSiegfried|Siegfried light tank]].
*The Ragnarok was designed to be as simple as possible to construct and use. It features a double wide track to enable it to tackle the exceedingly rough terrain left in the wake of the atomic purging of Krieg. Thousands were produced and are often used in mass armored assaults.<sup>5</sup>
*The Seigfried was developed from the Land Crawler chassis as a replacement for [[Sentinel]] as production of that walker became overwhelmed by the demand and worse, could not operate in the conditions then prevailing on Krieg.<sup>5</sup>
