Overview
- Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 prioritizes authentic combat, steering clear of any magic, and focusing on weapon selection and player skill.
- Each weapon presents distinct tactical advantages in various combat scenarios, demanding thoughtful consideration before use.
- Top contenders among the weapons include Bailiff’s Mace for early encounters, Guisarme for managing enemy crowds, and Radzig Kobyla’s Sword, which stands out as an elite option.
In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, the focus on gritty realism truly shines through in its combat mechanics. Players are immersed in a world where supernatural elements like flaming swords are non-existent, leaving only the raw skills and determination of protagonist Henry.
Different weapon classes are available: longswords are renowned for their reach and balanced mechanics, maces are particularly effective against armored foes, and bows reward players who exhibit patience and precision in their shots. Mastering these weapon dynamics can mean the difference between victory and defeat in the game.
However, raw talent with a weapon isn’t enough; players must enhance Henry’s affinity with their chosen weapon type and study formidable combos with the guidance of weapon masters to excel in combat. Below is a curated list of the finest weapons found in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, evaluated not merely by their power but also by their versatility across various combat situations. If you aim to endure the ferocious battles of Bohemia, these weapons are essential for your survival.
10 Bailiff’s Mace
The Law’s Iron Hand
Specifications:
| Blunt Damage | 111 |
| Weight | 3.9 |
| Strength Requirement | 14 |
| Agility Requirement | 8 |
While heavy weapons may not typically be my first choice in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, the Bailiff’s Mace, obtainable from Tachov’s Blacksmith, proves itself invaluable in the early stages of the game.
The Trosky region, with its practice grounds frequented by bandits and the occasional armed peasant, presents a harsh learning curve where attempting to slice through plate armor with a sword can lead to disappointment. The Bailiff’s Mace, designed for brute force, punctures armor and leaves foes dazed rather than relying on finesse.
9 Guisarme
Knight-Snaring Steel
Specifications:
| Stab Damage | 104 |
| Slash Damage | 149 |
| Blunt Damage | 74 |
| Weight | 9.6 |
| Strength Requirement | 19 |
| Agility Requirement | 14 |
The Guisarme is a versatile polearm excelling in all forms of attack—stab, slash, and blunt damage. With its extended reach, this weapon is ideal for crowd control, ensuring enemies remain at a distance while you deal damage from safety.
This weapon isn’t limited to ground combat. It performs admirably in mounted situations and can even be used for functions like dislodging enemy ladders during castle defenses. Guisarmes are frequently found in Kuttenberg, available in loot chests or from the blacksmith at Sigismund’s Camp.
8 Knight’s Longsword
Honor Etched in Steel
Specifications:
| Stab Damage | 114 |
| Slash Damage | 109 |
| Blunt Damage | 22 |
| Weight | 4.4 |
| Strength Requirement | 10 |
| Agility Requirement | 13 |
The Knight’s Longsword is a well-balanced two-handed weapon, making it an excellent pick during the early game, especially for those looking for a refined weapon without breaking the bank. Bandits tend to carry this sword in the Trosky area, making it an easy target for looting.
Longswords, including this one, possess the unique advantage of allowing players to execute Master Strikes, the crafty unblockable counter obtained from Master Tomcat. This Knight’s Longsword is a reliable partner for mastering those decisive moments in battle, having witnessed countless encounters and successful trips to the forge.
7 Master Menhart’s Longsword
The Smith’s Masterpiece
Specifications:
| Stab Damage | 191 |
| Slash Damage | 182 |
| Blunt Damage | 36 |
| Weight | 2.1 |
| Strength Requirement | 19 |
| Agility Requirement | 22 |
Master Menhart’s Longsword is recognized as one of the finest Longswords available in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, and it exhibits qualities that attest to its reputation. To acquire this stunning blade, players must complete side quests Ars Dimicatoria and Kuttenberg Tournament, introduced later in the game.
This weapon strikes with remarkable force and maintains its edge nicely, presenting a powerhouse in skilled hands. Though it has slightly less appeal due to the availability of even superior options earlier in the game, it remains a formidable choice.
6 Balshanka
Bohemian Bite
Specifications:
| Stab Damage | 97 |
| Slash Damage | 139 |
| Blunt Damage | 69 |
| Weight | 9.9 |
| Strength Requirement | 18 |
| Agility Requirement | 12 |
Balshanka is linked to one of the most compelling side quests in the Kuttenberg area and can be located early on during the Bellatores side quest, situated conveniently behind an ambushed wagon during your investigation with Jan Posy of Zimburg.
This polearm features balanced stats, minimal requirements, but at the cost of considerable encumbrance. Additionally, its design includes a combination of an axe blade, a spike, and a hammer-like tip, offering versatility that is rare among halberds.
5 Dagger
Last Resort, First Blood
Specifications:
- Weight: 1
The Dagger sets itself apart from conventional weapons. Unlike others, it lacks traditional damage metrics, and swinging it in combat isn’t its primary function. This weapon is tailored for stealth, allowing you to eliminate unsuspecting enemies quietly.
With the dagger, I’ve quietly dispatched entire bandit camps without triggering any alarms, proving its unmatched effectiveness for stealthy players. While the allure of a Longsword is significant, the Dagger proves itself invaluable in scenarios requiring discretion.
Seek to acquire a Dagger early on in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, as your first one is likely found in the Miller’s shack in Lower Semine.
4 Ramhead Hammer
Skullsplitter’s Heir
Specifications:
| Blunt Damage | 154 |
| Weight | 11.1 |
| Strength Requirement | 22 |
| Agility Requirement | 11 |
Among the vilest foes in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Andrew Ramhead stands out. His demise, alongside his mercenaries during the Thunderstone quest, felt like poetic justice, especially when I claimed the Ramhead Hammer from him afterward.
This formidable war hammer delivers unparalleled blunt damage among heavy weapons, making it a devastating choice against plate armor. I soon found that the Thunderstone became a distant memory once I wielded Andrew’s weapon against enemies.
3 Duelling Longsword
Settle It Like Gentlemen
Specifications:
| Stab Damage | 183 |
| Slash Damage | 174 |
| Blunt Damage | 35 |
| Weight | 1.9 |
| Strength Requirement | 18 |
| Agility Requirement | 17 |
This weapon is lightweight and meticulously balanced, benefiting from the Martin’s Secret perk if you forge it yourself. You can locate the Duelling Longsword throughout Kuttenberg—on bandits or at local blacksmiths. The weapon’s sketch may also appear as loot in various chests, granting you the opportunity to craft a superior variant, making it a must-have for serious swordfighting enthusiasts.
2 Ash Longbow
From Greenwood to Battlefield
Specifications:
| Power | 230 |
| Weight | 4.0 |
| Strength Requirement | 22 |
| Agility Requirement | 16 |
It’s vital not to overlook the potential of bows in this game. The Ash Longbow is capable of delivering devastating strikes, shooting swiftly, and hitting targets from considerable distances, making it an invaluable tool for eliminating bandits or hunting animals from afar.
Though it demands both strength and finesse to utilize effectively, the investment is well worth it, especially for players leaning towards a more Strength-focused build seeking to incorporate ranged combat. You can acquire this compelling weapon from Master Wenceslas in Kuttenberg at a reasonable price—by the time you reach him, funds should be sufficient to make the purchase, ensuring you won’t regret adding it to your arsenal.
1 Reforged Radzig Kobyla’s Sword
The Reforged Legacy
Specifications:
| Stab Damage | 199 |
| Slash Damage | 190 |
| Blunt Damage | 38 |
| Weight | 1.9 |
| Strength Requirement | 20 |
| Agility Requirement | 23 |
Radzig Kobyla’s Sword is often regarded as the pinnacle among weapons, earning the title of the best option in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 for various reasons.
Crafted by Martin for Sir Radzig, then seized by Istvan and finally reclaimed by Henry during a climactic showdown at Castle Trosky, this sword carries a rich history.
Upon reclaiming this somewhat worn Longsword, players can forge it into a masterpiece, culminating in the Reforged Radzig Kobyla’s Sword or Henry’s Sword Reforged (the latter requiring the Martin’s Secret perk).This weapon embodies reliability and unmatched strength, ensuring that it will never disappoint its wielder.
