Chivalry 2's Fight Knight update now live, adds Brawl Mode and headbutts

/

Torn Banner Studios has released a free update to their FPS online medieval melee game Chivalry 2. It’s called ‘Fight Knight’ which adds new game modes, maps, the Rapier weapon and more. 

Fight Knight is a fun addition and continues to show that Chivalry 2 is all about the fun. Brawl mode is pretty much a bar fight without other players. No weapons are found so anything you can grab - chairs, food, barrels, etc - can be weapons to knock out another player. 

Just in case it wasn’t weird enough, the update adds headbutts, which pretty much gives players a chance to fight back with their head if they find themselves without limbs and slowly bleeding to death. 

Chivalry 2 is also running their first Halloween Event happening from October 26 to November 7, the game’s first seasonal event that features halloween-themed cosmetics. 

Here’s the full list of features from the Fight Knight update according to Torn Banner: 

  • Brawl Mode and Maps: Leave your weapons at the door for the all-new brawl mode designed to capture the rowdy and chaotic feel of a tavern brawl. Take a seat! Literally. And then smash someone’s face with it!

    • Two Brawl Maps: Up to 40 players can join the fray in The Great Hall and Rudhelm Feast.

    • Found Objects: Players can pick up and wield just about anything they can find across the map. Embrace the chaos and grab chairs, beer steins, rolling pins, sausages, and giant fish to beat down your rivals!

  • Last Team Standing Mode: Players looking for more realistic team battles can expect the return of top-requested mode from the original Chivalry: Medieval Warfare! Stakes are high, as these 40-player battles have no respawns. The last team/person standing is crowned as the winning team.

  • Headbutt Combat: It’s only a flesh wound! Chivalry 2’s limb loss combat system sees the most brutal and outrageous update yet. Now, when a player has lost both limbs in combat, they can execute an arm-less headbutt attack for a last chance at taking down an opponent before bleeding out.

  • Rapier Weapon: This new fencing weapon type also introduces a new swashbuckling combat style with more focus on fast-movements and flourishes.

  • Halloween Event: Running from Oct. 26 through Nov. 7, players can look forward to Chivalry 2’s first-ever seasonal event with new cosmetics, like the pumpkinhelm, and Halloween themed decorations and interactive objects, like giant Jack O Lanterns that can be weaponized.

    • Rudhelm Siege, Dark Forest, Great Hall (Brawl mode), and Wardenglade (Free-for-All and Last Team Standing modes) will feature these limited-time Halloween decorations.

  • Arena Mode Improvements: New improvements to Arena include an offline practice mode for teams to hone their skills and teamwork as well as overall polish improvements, including a new winner’s podium cutscene. 

  • Armory Updates: In addition to the new Rapier weapon, players can all look forward to a wide array of new cosmetics and skins to unlock, including armor sets, new female armor skins, new helmet skins, new weapon skins, and even a fancy mustache!

Chivalry 2 launched last April on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.
