is there anything worse than a rapier+shield users? im gonna have to start taking a dagger with me to deal with those fuckheads
Do you hate shields? Do you like the Maul? Do you like running fast? Do you like one-shotting archers? Look no further than this loadout.

Sledgehammer has 36 stamina drain. This means that in 5 hits, you'll swipe shields and weapons off of people if you decide to play the stamina game. Do you want to one- or two-shot people? Morph and drag the shit out of swings to avoid parries completely and to overcome the slow-ass swing speed. Peasant makes you one-shot, but becoming a duel god is worth it.
Beware of big axes, halberds and executioner swords as they'll one-shot you in the chest (you can't equip chest armor as Peasant). The Sledgehammer also has pitiful range, so you'll have to hug opponents as you swing it around.
Change the Wooden Mallet to whatever you like - I carry it around because building map barricades is helpful in Frontline, but the Carving Knife also makes for a good throwable as it one-shots helmetless opponents in the head (useful against archers that devoid themselves of armor).

I hate to advertise but a community I'm part of has a duels server going and there are usually several admins on at any given time so if any of you guys want an actual moderated server to duel on just put this little tidbit in the console:
open 104.194.9.147:7779
We don't allow archers or firebombs and griefers get permabanned as soon as we spot them. Server is US based, not sure the exact region.
I've been curious, how do the matches end?
It's just deathmatch so eventually someone racks up 30 kills and it ends like normal. If you mean individual duels usually both parties say "good fight" or something to that effect and move on. If someone's being a bad sport I usually just give them a cooldown ban
Hes actually really good, and yes I stole this outfit from a reddit post

terrible server i cant 1-shot koumakan with a longsword
Someone in a discord I'm in posted that he enabled the female player model.

at least he doesn't have to wear head armor if she's only got those eyes, blades will go right past them!

When female models are a officially added to the game I'm gonna be making some dull grets.
i think this'll be the only game where i'd actually stick to a male playermodel for my main character. i like him too much
I just killed a dude with horse shit. I love this game.
This game plays with my emotions.
Get mad about deaths, am actually top of scoreboard and about to score 750+ gold.
Have a bad match, find some dudes on the side who have respectful duels in 48+ player Frontline servers.
Constantly get gangbanged by 3 people and die horribly, follow up the next life fighting off 5+ people in succession like some movie tier bullshit.
Get on catapult, accidentally nuke half the server in one shot and proceed to receive "friendly" slaps of encouragement from my team (who was also nuked.)
I can't stop loving this game.
If you mean did they add the support stuff tdoay then no. Its been in for a couple patches.
I always had the medallion, but I never noticed a "rimmed pauldrons + medallion" combo until now.
Killed a man with a medic bag. Peak irony. Turns out a mid air collision hurts
I've had that since the others were added. Perhaps you weren't wearing something that could equip that.
I find it almost impossible to chamber any kind of stab
It's probably the easiest attacks to chamber. That and maybe the most interesting form of chambering that can lead into a near-infinite stab fest. Oddly fists can chamber each other, learned that when me and a dude boxed and ended up hitting our fists together for about five seconds before I kicked him off the wall.

every mordhau fistfight
For me it's the voices.
3 firebomb full armor is not a meme. Just grab a weapon off the floor and you're good to go.
I wonder why females were cut
They didn't, they're just still working on them but currently lower priority. They still need to finish their models for every gear and voice acting.
The easiest way to chamber is to wait until you hear the enemy grunt as they attack, it's basically the point where their windup is complete and their attack starts. For anything other than stabs you need to mirror their attack, so if they swing with a right overhead (which to you is attacking from your left side) you need to do a left overhead as soon as they grunt. You're basically pushing their weapon aside by moving in tandem with it, rather than trying to clash by moving opposite it.
Dealing with rapier stab spam is slightly more mechanically demanding than other forms of spam. Because the rapier is such a fast attack, if you parry you won't move fast enough before they can parry back and swing even faster (parrying an attack and attacking right after does a "riposte" which cannot be interrupted and moves faster). If you chamber their stab, they'll chamber it back, and this will keep going until someone (usually you as you chambered first) runs out of stamina and is disarmed. Chambering drains a lot of stamina and is the same for all weapons.
The best method I found is to chamber their stab, but immediately "morph" into a horizontal swing, and "accel" the swing. Morphing is when you input an attack, but during the earlier part of the windup input another attack, which causes your stab to transition into a swing. This allows you to chamber the stab but actually attack with a swing. Accelling is when you move the camera in the direction your swing will move, away from the enemy, so that the wind up finishes and the attack begins at the earliest possible moment.
Since the rapier spammer will most likely try to chamber via stabbing, if you morph he won't successfully chamber and won't get the speed boost from the chamber, while you will. If you accel you'll hit him first with any weapon, even a maul. Thus, you can chop off his head.
Depending on the weapon, you may instead opt to do an overhead swing instead of a horizontal as it may do more damage. To accel an overhead, simply look down.
If the rapier spammer has a shield, he can raise the shield at any point. You then have two options - morph into a jumping overhead to hopefully hit him over his shield, or morph into a kick, which is risky as if you whiff you'll probably die. If you kick someone who's blocking with a shield, they get stunned, and you can get a free hit in. It also hurts them and drains stamina.
Of course, if you have a longer weapon, you can bait him into whiffing his stab by being farther away. Make sure you time it so you don't chamber him. If he whiffs his stab he loses stamina and is briefly vulnerable, so you can stab him back, or alternatively keep doing this until he runs out of stamina and you disarm him.
If you have the Dodge perk, you can get into his face and move horizontally to avoid the stab, but you need to have low armor and hope he doesn't drag his stab into your head
Of course, you do have teammates in most modes. You can always try to back off while defending until backup arrives, and then try to get behind him where he can't block. Just watch out for friendly fire.
Rapier spamming is low risk and high reward, so it's popular as a newbie killer. In the thick of battle it's harder to counterplay than other weapons. I think the issue lies with how easy it is to drag a stab, as the hitbox lasts for a while and is deceiving.

does this look like the face of mercy to you
Is that usable ingame, on servers? Cause I'd love to look like that freakish thing.
Whoa, the gunpowder DLC is looking to have some pretty advanced tech.
