Overview
A powerful 2-handed melee weapon with good range and high damage.
Reach wins melee fights, and reach is what two blades buy you here. The longsword connects from further away than the cheap one-handers and lands a heavy hit, so the other guy takes damage before his own swing can touch you.
Pros
Cons
- Long reach: you hit first
- Big damage per swing
- A broken one goes into the recycler and usually gives a metal blade back, sometimes two
- Locked behind a Level 2 workbench
- Two blades per sword, where a salvaged sword takes one
- Slow swings make every miss expensive
The night it pays off looks like this: a group of nakeds rushes your half-built base with spears and rocks, and you stand in the doorway meeting each one with a swing as he steps in. On a Level 1 bench, though, skip it. The salvaged sword or a salvaged cleaver cover the same job, and a stone spear is cheaper still and can be thrown.
