Some additional corrections/notes: 03:15 You can now melee with archer ranged weapons, which is game changing. I tried to illustrate this several times, but failed to talk about it. 15:25 Kind of dropped the ball on the Footman class overview. The main unifying theme is stats and bandage kit. I believe 2 is the limit. If you miss your throw, you can pick the pack back up and re-throw it, or stand over it for short time to use it yourself. 19:13 Skipped over the throwing knives, but you get 3 IIRC, and they work just like with the Ambusher. 22:21 I say Devastator, but should have referred to the Vanguard class as a whole, as he carries a mix of Devastator and Raider weapons. I may - or may not - update this video with game changes as patches roll out.
@@gregtestagent Specifically, I was saying that is a new change from Chiv 1 to Chiv 2. It has been around since the very first alpha, but it a huge QOL change for the class.
Why do you say the executioner axe has less damage than the double-edged axe? I thought they did the same damage but the executioner's axe had more range? Are the stats shown in the game incorrect?
Good job man. I've only seen one other vid like this and he just goes over the classes real quick. Glad you went over the weapons. Tuesday can't come fast enough. lol
This game is a great example of how outside content can really improve your experience. The in game tutorial is pretty good as tutorials go, but this game has a lot of nuance that will frustrate new players.
This was fantastically done. If you continue to make any type of Chivalry 2 videos I can see your channel growing nicely. Again, thank you for the guide - was very helpful 👍
15:47 You can heal yourself with the bandage kit. You have to throw the kit and then stand over it for a few seconds. You won’t get a large heal, but it will be enough to tank one more hit.
Or bounce it off the ground, it happens right away if you touch it mid-air. Also neglected to mention in the guide- if you miss, you can press E on it to put it back in your inventory to throw again (probably why it takes a moment to heal if it is on the floor- to give the chance to do that).
Omg, I normally don’t comment, subscribe or like videos but this is the best summary I have seen in any category. Subbed! Well done and thanks for the great condensed info!
Can we just take a moment to appreciate this legend for not having an annoying intro and "like/subscribe-begging" right at the beginning of the video like 99% of UA-camrs nowadays lol Take my like and sub! XD
I did a search and was on someone else's guide, and to the right among recommended next, I noticed yours. Glad I stopped by here after for second opinion. You give a lot more detail and you covered the different weapons in addition to just the classes and subclasses.
nice vid, i'm just getting started after the steam release so this vid has been very helpful, this vid is great, i couldn't find anything else like this.
14:09 the spear only has an overhead swing, the rest are just stabs. With no horizontal slash option, and a very situational special, the spear is one of the most limited weapons in the game with concerns with open ground combat vs multiple opponents.
Fighting by yourself, and in range of the enemy weapons, yes. It should be noted the stab comes from a different angle versus the 'slash stab' - this is enough to throw off most players, most of the time. The Spear is definitely a team fight weapon. If it gets buffed it will be oppressive in that realm, where good players can abuse it from behind the safety of teammates never risking their skin. On the other hand, in its current state it is weaker than most other options for dueling and 1vX.
Great video! I actually found the executioner's ax to work surprisingly well against groups. Just aim around the head or neck area and decapitation is easily obtained. Looking forward to unlocking and trying some different classes.
Great thing about having options! The current weapon set has enough variation to cover all the bases, without so many that balancing becomes a nightmare and choices don't really matter much. Just gotta find what works for you! Apparently it was oppressive in the previous build, so it got toned down quite a bit. Haven't seen any patch notes for the gold release, so not sure if it got adjusted again.
1:30 "it's called a bussy" "pretty gay my guy" lmao. good video though, definitely helped me out. i was looking at the customization tab and thought it was just what weapon did you want on your three pretty much identical characters and an archer, didn't realize there was more complexity to it until i loaded the vid, very cool
Thank you for your breakdown because honestly i have been soo lost with this game i have been using all of the classes the wrong way now i have a bettsr understanding thanks to you great vid! Def. Earned a sub from me buddy!
Nice video , simple question : How do you Make near 360 degres swing mouse when you attack ? Because when i play , it's impossible to do , even at high dpi or sensitivity
If you are a crossbowman, USE THAT SHIELD. I played for the first time last night and trying out the Longbowman, Crossbowmen reloading in the open were the easiest headshot of my life to get. Lol Great guide, btw!
bro how do you change class when you already chosen one i accidentally chose archer and now i am sad cause i cant seem to know to change the class please help i would be thankfull
Remember, any sort of support for thorough and educational videos like this is awesome! Like, comment, dislike, just do anything besides ignore the video if you want to support the creator!
An effective way to play raider is also pairing a two handed weapon with a bow found on battlefield. You can then assist your teammates from the back during big assault (like bridge on lionspire). But you don't have to worry about keeping your distances or avoiding ennemies because you're a vanguard with solid defense and attack
Somebody did the math but due to the damage bonuses on certain weapons it seems like vanguard comes out ontop over the other 2 melee classes in terms of damage taken. Unless they fixed it from the beta.
Yeah, the more I've looked into this the more it annoys me. I personally think blunt weapons should get a base damage buff and have less bonus damage, and cut weapons get a slight damage nerf across the board. We'll see what/if anything happens.
@@T4nkcommander i bought special eddition, got 2000 tokens, they accidently gave me 6000 one day, then figred out there was a glitch in the system and reduced me down to only 1000 tokens/right side of gold, did i get ripped off?
@@goblinkillahd8396 I doubt it. I only got 1000 crowns but got a refund for the special edition cost. Used that money to purchase more crowns and fully deck out my characters.
@@T4nkcommander i have the problem that i choose the weapon (the free one that is alredy unloced) but i cant use the mornigstar in the game...so how do i choose the weapon
you can heal yourself with the bandages, just throw them on the ground and run over them. Also, when you throw them directly at your teammate you will deal a tiny amount of damage. I knocked out a handful of teammates that way.
Yes - my statement wasn't wholly true in that regard. However, it is close enough for the purposes of the video. In my defense, my statement was true if we were talking about the original game.
I've been able to play the game since the first alpha, and while they wiped progression many times, for the last few playtests they carried over progression.
I haven't started playing the game yet by I might get a good start it's very helpful and stuff i can't say much which hasn't been said already but you could use a better microphone you can barely hear your voice but again good video
I am considering doing one, actually! My wife just delivered my third child, so I haven't even gotten to play the full release! All that to say it might be a bit hah

About the change to archers, are you talking about jabbing and special attacks with the bow or crossbow? I’ve seen that before in the open beta.
@@gregtestagent Specifically, I was saying that is a new change from Chiv 1 to Chiv 2. It has been around since the very first alpha, but it a huge QOL change for the class.
You are able to use your own bandage kits actually. It doesn't heal as much as using it on an ally though
Please do update. Best weapon overview I've seen so far. Posted to /r/chivalry2

Use messer
Edit or poke arm
Great video. I still don’t know how to not suck at this game, but this feels like step one to rectifying that
I am hoping to get a combat commentary guide out in the near future to help with that, we'll see when I can get around to it.
how do you change your weapons to the other ones in the heledry section
If you are a crossbowman, USE THAT SHIELD. I played for the first time last night and trying out the Longbowman, Crossbowmen reloading in the open were the easiest headshot of my life to get. Lol Great guide, btw!
yeah but it takes like 3 seconds to put up, too much time lol!
Don't forget guys, blunt heavy attacks do hit multiple opponents in a sweep. They can still CC
Yes, and if you can pull it off it is both effective and satisfying.
@@T4nkcommander I love the blunt weapons in this game. They actually feel like they have weight behind them too. Great video!
@@tomaldred6271 Thanks, I like them a lot too, but cut and chop could probably use a slight nerf tbh
Solid guide! Nice work man. :)
Can you throw the spear while you have your shield up as a knight ? Or do you just have to put the shield on your back first ?
it always defaults to throwing the shield first, in my experience.
@@T4nkcommander ok thanks appreciate it I'm sure they will improve it over time
Get this man a contract for IGN ASAP

@@T4nkcommander no, I never go on reddit
Excellent video! Very helpful.
Are the level of the weapons important for the damage? In my game every class has same Stats in my discribtion. Is that a bug?
Seems like a bug. Weapon level only affect visual unlocks
@@T4nkcommander ah okay. Thank you. Same with class right? The higher class level only affects new skis
@@SteinarHagalsson Higher class level unlocks new subclasses and weapons
My oil pots is not working? What am I doing wrong? All my other specials work?

Brilliant thanks, really enjoyed it
how do i unlock the subclasses?
Great video! cant wait to get my hands on this game
Top shelf video bud, I feel like a better fighter already. I’m gonna go play some chivalry!

Where is the horse in this game?

How have u leveled up all the classes so much

tnx was very helpful
💪
How do I unlock wepons
just play with the class, you'll unlock stuff over time.
I wish the knight could use the Broadsword and shield in stead of the falcon sword(i think thats how its spelled)
The sword literally has a skin for a broadsword. I have it and use it sometimes
i cant find this game on steam , when i search Chivalry 2
Epic exclusive right now
@@T4nkcommander I FIND OUT OF THE HARD WAY YES. when it didnt work on steam lol . i manage to recive money back . shame i didnt see your answer befor,

I had no idea, it's my favorite.. but true about the reach
Hey, glad you like it! It seems to me to be shorter than it is supposed to be....
Anyone else have the problem where you want to throw a weapon but it just attacks instead?
On PC, throw is bound to G key. On console, you have to hit both bumpers at the same time to throw
