European Broadsword 2_02 HD

European Zweihänder big brand, straight and flambard versions

what it can do

It adds two versions of a European two-handed sword, circa 15'-16' century, known as the "Zweihaender". (Or in Scotland it would be called Claymore.)

Unlike modern games, where all games are called "two-handed" if it can be used with both hands, most games historically were called "longsword" and allowed a combination of one- and two-hand techniques. Known as a Zweihaender (two-handed) or Bidenhaender (two-handed), it had to be a sword of such size that it actually required both hands on the hilt, full time. This was the final evolution of the long sword as a weapon of war.

Historically, mercenaries with proven hands were paid twice as much as normal mercenaries, known as "doppelsöldner" (i.e. double mercenaries, although more often than not meaning "double pay".) On the one hand, this reflects increased self-risk, but the fact that people actually pay the high price often indicates it's worth it.

In the game, the weapon has the same speed and base damage as the Celestial Steel Greatsword, but it has greater range (which is the whole reason the weapon exists), a higher stagger chance (due to sheer momentum), and twice the critical chance. It also has a huge bonus to backstab damage if you use the dagger's stealth perk for extra stealth damage.

It had a 55-inch long blade that was about 2 inches wide, and an 8-inch bladeless ricasso that could be used to grab the blade and use the weapon as a short spear. Calculate these values ​​assuming that the average person in the game is about 5'10" tall, i.e. almost the same as an adult human male today.

It can be crafted from steel, just like a regular steel greatsword, but you will need more steel ingots to craft a larger blade.

It does not have a scabbard, as these weapons were not historically scabbarded. They are carried by a ricasso on the shoulder, like a pistol.

The version is:

• Straight Zweihänder, probably the most common variant of this weapon.

2.Flambard Zweihänder, as the name suggests, it has a flambard or "flame" blade. It's basically wavy. This is also relatively common, although more labor intensive to make and therefore more expensive, so not every mercenary has one. It's still debated how wavy edges should be better, but that's how many swords are made.

how to get it

Make them. After all, it only requires a steelsmith.

Or just type "help zweihaender" in the console (without the quotes) and then use "player.additem xxxxxxxx 1" (same as above), where xxxxxxxx is the item ID shown by the previous command, for any variation you want. You just need to get one in your inventory.
