Field Manuals are collectibles introduced and can be found throughout each war story. Once obtained, Codexs give players insight over World War I history. The singleplayer features Codex Entries which require specific actions to be completed in order to unlock. Unlike past installments, the story offers a much larger sandbox to allow players more choice and variety in how they approach different situations. The singleplayer campaign of Battlefield 1 takes place during World War 1 across six different "War Stories" which revolve around different people in different aspects of the Great War in campaigns such as the Italian Alps and the deserts of Arabia. Chemical weapons like Gas Grenades, which were used extensively during World War I, are also present and can be countered by the vision-obscuring Gas Mask.

MISSION STATEMENT The Friends of Monmouth Battlefield are dedicated to protecting, preserving and interpreting the military and social history of the Monmouth Campaign of 1778 and the cultural landscapes of both the battlefield and associated sites within a broader geographic area beyond the Park. It has become the largest annual living history event in the state.
This historic event is observed on the third or fourth weekend of June each year. Beginning in 1990, as a way of bringing attention to the threatened national historic landmark, the Friends initiated the annual Battle of Monmouth reenactment. Historic sites and buildings were on the verge of collapse. Landscapes were being overwhelmed by vegetative growth obscuring historic vistas. Individuals concerned with the deteriorating conditions of the State Park, which opened in 1978, formed the Friends of Monmouth Battlefield in 1990. The Friends group is licensed as an officially recognized friends organization (ORFO) by the State of New Jersey and is authorized to act in partnership with state government to protect, preserve and interpret the battlefield state park. The Friends of Monmouth Battlefield, Inc., was formed in 1990 and is a 501 (c)(3) not-for -profit organization devoted to preserving, protecting and historically interpreting Monmouth Battlefield and historically related sites. The June 2021 reenactment had to be cancelled.
