Chivalry 2 is the follow-up to the chaotic prequel renowned for its melee combat systems and intricate multiplayer maps. Chivalry 2 evolves on all the things that made the first game great, with the promise of more to come on its roadmap. For example, the recent House Aberfell update added a new class, weapon, and map for players to unleash their fury on the opposing side.
As part of the House Aberfell update, Chivalry 2 added the Highland Sword weapon, reminiscent of an enormous broadsword. However, players won’t immediately have the Highland Sword unlocked unless they’ve leveled up their Vanguard class.
How to Unlock the Highland Sword in Chivalry 2
The Vanguard Devastator is one of the tank classes in Chivalry 2 that focuses on big swings with heavy two-handed weapons. So it follows that the hefty Highland Sword would be given to that class, but not for the inexperienced. Players who want to use the Highland Sword in battle will have to level up their Vanguard character to at least level 20.
Tips for Leveling Vanguard in Chivalry 2
To level up as the Vanguard, you will need to score some points and gain experience. As one of the heavier classes, you could just run straight into battle with no inhibitions, but that’s likely to provide more stress. The key to leveling quickly is playing with the right strategy in mind, a sneaky Archer or the two-handed Vanguard.
Some tips for getting points as the Vanguard include learning how the weapons move when swung and the best maneuver around opponents. In addition, some suggest finding members of the other team who don’t see you or are otherwise distracted by combat, providing you with a rare opening. In the same vein, you’ll have a target on your back as the tank, so it’s wise to watch your flank.
Another tip is to constantly run the objective, as that will provide you with consistent experience points and bring the enemies to you. Of course, you should also be prepared to die more than a few times if you’re starting with that class, but you’ll quickly find the best way to fight for how you play.
As long as you can get to level 20 as Vanguard, that’s all you need to know about how to unlock the Highland Sword in Chivalry 2.
