Both factions in ''Day of Defeat: Source'' have access to six classes. Each class is designed with specific combat circumstances in mind, so that teams must use teamwork to succeed. The weapons and equipment carried by the classes are based on the weapons used by both the US Army and Wehrmacht during World War II. Some of classes are armed with pistols—the American [[M1911 pistol|M1911]] or the German [[Walther P38]]—while others are equipped with [[trench knife|trench knives]] or [[entrenching tool]]s for melee combat.<ref name="classes">{{cite web|url=http://www.dayofdefeat.com/Manual/Classes.htm|title=Classes|work=Day of Defeat: Source Game Manual|publisher=[[Valve Corporation|Valve]]|access-date=June 9, 2008|archive-date=May 25, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080525162421/http://www.dayofdefeat.com/Manual/Classes.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> Grenades are carried by a number of classes, depending on their role in the game—riflemen are equipped with [[rifle grenade]]s, the assault classes are armed with a single [[fragmentation grenade]] and a [[smoke grenade]] for providing concealment, while support classes have access to two standard fragmentation grenades.<ref name="classes"/>
