It’s not just about chivalry! Kengeki FPS with strong item throwing
The latest work in the series, which takes place 20 years after Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, released in 2012.Chivalry 2”. Medieval knights engage in large-scale battles for up to 64 players. At close range, you can use swings, brain attacks, and thrusts, allowing you to experience an authentic sword fighting experience. However, it's not just sword fighting.Throwing items” is also an important system, and also a part that symbolizes the degree of freedom of this work.
You can throw whatever you hold in your hand! Use whatever you can
Players enter the battlefield with various weapons depending on their class,Any object placed on the battlefield can be used.Of course, you can swing and throw weapons installed on shelves, weapons dropped by enemies, and weapons thrown by enemies.Something that doesn't look like a weapon, such as cabbageHowever, if you throw it at it, it can act as a very effective damage source.
In other words"You can throw anything you hold in your hand.”. I tend to stick to close-range combat until I get used to it, but if something falls nearby,We recommend that you try throwing at least once, whether it's a weapon or a cabbage.
This game has the concept of stamina, which is consumed by special attacks and guards. on the other hand,You don't need stamina to run.It's difficult to catch up with an enemy who has decided to run away, so in-game tips recommend throwing items, such as ``Throw your weapon at the fleeing enemy.'' The behavior of throwing anything is unique, butPicking up and throwing items is a practical way to conquer Chivarly 2.
Even things like this! ? Objects that can be used on the battlefield
Objects available during battle include:
・Objects where weapons are collected, such as weapon racks
This is useful when you drop your weapon due to too much guarding, or when you replenish your weapon after throwing it. It's good to equip and return to the front line, but weapons can be replenished many times (depending on the object).unlimited) We also recommend throwing weapons more and more. If you get hit by a weapon, it will cause a lot of damage, and even if you are blocked, you can reduce your stamina.
・Food such as bread
In games, food is associated with recovering physical strength, but in "Chivalry 2", in addition to recovering, food can also be used to recover physical strength.You can do damage by throwing it.It doesn't do as much damage as throwing a weapon, but it's enough to stop a wounded soldier. Also, if you pick up a cup-shaped object and use it,You can even drink alcohol.The screen looks shaky due to the effects of drunkenness. And if you throw a cup at an enemy, you'll feel like a rogue mercenary.
・Daily necessities such as candlesticks
Even everyday items placed casually can be turned into weapons. Depending on the situation, it may be more useful than the weapon you already have. For example, the candlestick has a long reach, although it is less powerful, and is useful when you want to fight from a distance.
・Fixed objects such as benches
In the tutorial, the instructor said,Role play is also an important element.This work teaches you that. You can sit on the casually placed benches. There are a lot of gaps, but when you have time, it's fun to sit gracefully and have a commemorative photo taken. Unfortunately, the person sitting cannot turn the camera to the front. If you want a photo of the front, ask a friend to take one.
Introducing recommended objects and spots by stage!
This game has many stages and rules, and the items that appear depending on the stage also vary. We will introduce items and gimmicks that particularly stood out while playing each unique stage.
tournament field
With team deathmatch or free-for-all rules, both sides will soon come into a head-on collision.There is food in the bleachers and weapons in the armory.
・Each army symbol shield in the center of the battlefield
The shield, which has become a familiar part of the stage background, can be removed and used. Of course the shieldThe crossed weapons can also be used.The center of the map is naturally a fierce battle zone, so if you run out of weapons, you'll want to replenish them here as soon as possible.
·rock
There is a large rock near the starting point only on the Mason side, and you can get it infinitely. This type of rock can do a lot of damage when thrown, so keep in mind that if you are playing as Mason's army, you will have the option to throw a rock right after the start.
・Throne
You can sit on the throne where the king is lording it over in the pre-game demo. You may be able to trick yourself into thinking that you are an NPC and go into hiding.
・Flag on the bleachers
It was probably used to record competition scores. It's an ordinary tool, but it can be obtained, and for some reason, the damage it throws is as high as a small weapon. Because of their lack of aggression in appearance, they may catch you by surprise.
coxwell massacre
The attacking Masons set the village on fire and aim to plunder the gold. The stage is for Agatha's army to stop this.
·chicken
Since it is a rural area, agricultural implements and tools are noticeable, but no matter what you say,The highlight is the chicken.At the beginning of the stage, you will find them roaming just after entering the village, and you can freely obtain them. Even if you throw it normally, you will only be able to deal a small amount of damage.
But this chicken...If you bring it close to a burning object, it will ignite and burn.If you successfully throw it in this state, you can aim for large slip damage due to the flames. Since the attacker's goal is to set the village on fire, there are many bonfires, so finding a source is not a problem.Perhaps the beginning of this stage will become a battlefield with chickens flying around...
・Horse manure
In the stables on the way to the castlehorse manureis rolling.No wayWhen I moved the cursor over it, I was able to find horse manure. □If you press the button twice to raise a roar (“Kansei”. An emote that shouts “Wow!”),Appeal to those around you while holding horse manureYou can. The atmosphere of the brutal battlefield may be a little more relaxed.
・Branding iron
When you enter the castle town, you will find a roasted pig that seems to be food for the soldiers camping there. At the base of the fire is a branding iron used for livestock, which can also be used as a weapon. It looks very barbaric, but unfortunately there is no flaming effect.
・Weapon rack
At the final defense point, you will protect the gold placed in the market. Since it is a market, there are a wide variety of installation items, but the one that can be used strategically is the weapon rack. Weapon racks themselves are not rare, but weapon racks with bows on them are valuable. If you use the bow you picked up here to aim at the archer stationed on top of the market stall, you might be able to confuse your opponent.
・Hook with fish
There are many foods at the market, but one thing that is unusual is fish hooks. Is it in the process of being made into dried fish? Of course, you can eat it to recover, and if an enemy approaches, you can also throw it instantly.
battle of the black forest
In this stage, Mason's army heads toward the castle while escorting a cart through the forest, and Agatha's army intercepts them. If Mason's army reaches the castle, Agatha's army will be defeated if they cannot protect the monarch.
·sword
In the early stages, there are few artifacts as you advance through the forest, and there are few items that can be obtained. One of the things you can get is a sword. It's an ordinary sword, butYou can use the one that was pierced by the executed Mason soldier.If you're playing on Mason's side, pull him out to avenge your comrades' regrets.
·rock
At checkpoints, rocks are placed at the top in preparation for breaking through the gates. If the Masons are swarming to destroy the gate, you can snipe them from above. If you get it rightbig damageis.
·toilet
At the gate stationtoiletThere was. Was it used by soldiers on guard duty? You can open and close the door and sit down, but there is no special purpose. During the beta test, we saw cornered soldiers hiding here.It was completely visible from the outside, so the toilet was destroyed and killed.It would be better to keep it as a commemorative photo.
Siege of Radhelm
This is a stage where Agatha's army protects a huge siege tower and captures the territory of Mason's army. When you reach the castle's main keep, it will be a defensive battle for the monarch.
・Well with fish
As you proceed through the castle town, you will find a well, from which you can get fish and recover.Was it used as a "fish tank" in case of an emergency?Both attackers and defenders are concentrating on moving escort targets called "attack slopes" (similar to payloads in Overwatch), so it might be a good idea to stop by when you want to recover a little while away from the battle lines.
・Stocks in the courtyard
In the courtyard of the castle, which is the stage of the final battle, there is a ``Stox'', which is the place of execution and the pillory for criminals.Surprisingly, players can be "restrained" themselves here.There are no disadvantages such as damage, but it's a fierce battle zone near the target area, so if you don't leave immediately after taking a commemorative photo, you'll be killed in no time.
・Severed head
What's near Stocks?A basket full of severed heads.You can get a lot of valuable decapitated heads here, which will disappear if you don't get them right away even if you decapitate an enemy. If you shout while you have it, you will hold up a severed head.Kill the enemy general!You can also role-play things like “. Intimidate your opponent before the final battle.
Fall of Lionspire
In this stage, the attacker invades the castle from the beach and aims to destroy the castle's defense weapons.You can use many siege weapons from the beginning., a flashy battle unfolds.
・Barista
In other stages, ballistas are often placed in locations where they are easy to use as defensive equipment, but in this stage, they are placed in positions that are advantageous for both offense and defense, and can be directed at any angle. Although it takes quite a while to reload,A ballista that boasts tremendous range and power.I want to be careful not to get hijacked.
・Gold bed
When you break through the gate from the beach, the battle to capture the town begins. This town has a particularly rich variety of items among the Chivalry 2 stages. What I liked was an anvil near a shop that looked like a blacksmith shop. In cartoons, an anvil falling from above is a common running gag and a symbol of heavy objects. This game is no exception to this pain, and if the throw hits, it can cause tremendous damage.
·bread
Bread is placed in various stages, but in this stage you can pick it up near the oven. There is no difference in effectiveness, but the number of installations is higher, and it seems to be a little more delicious than the others.
Escape from Farmia
Agatha's army becomes the attacker and rescues the prisoners held in Mason's prison.This is the stage where many of the bodies of Agatha's executed soldiers are exposed.The purpose of the attacking Agatha's army is to rescue the hero who is being tortured and bring him back to their base.
When a hero is rescued, one player on the attacking side becomes the hero and becomes the controlled character.Players who have become heroes should do their best not to die!Items installed include bones and skulls, arms, severed heads, etc.Goa sideContents. There is no doubt that role play will be exciting.
·arm
It would have been accumulated during the brutal torture process.armis stuck in the basket. It can be obtained as a weapon and has club-like performance. You can also fight by swinging around as is,A presence more vivid than a severed headIt may be better to aim for psychological damage by throwing it.
・"Crow's Nest"
During the march, there is a cage named "Crow's Nest". It is the same design as the one in which the prisoner is captured,Never enter.As soon as you enter, you will receive high-speed slip damage,You will die almost instantly.Unlike other play spots, it seems impossible to go inside and have someone take a commemorative photo.
・Iron Maiden
Right next to the prison where the hero is imprisoned,The infamous torture device "Iron Maiden"is installed. Unlike the cages mentioned above, there are many thorns on the inside, so it is unlikely that you will accidentally enter the cage and die.
However, if the command "enter" is displayed, it is human nature to want to enter. The result is the same as a cage,It's still an instant deathIt will be. The rescued hero player has more than twice the physical strength of a normal soldier, so he can only endure for a few seconds, butIf the hero dies, the attacking team loses on the spot.. Let's stop.
fighting arena
Like the tournament field, this is a team deathmatch or free-for-all format stage. The tournament field has an orthodox atmosphere where soldiers collide head-on, but this one is completely different.Stage full of gimmicksIt becomes. Many of the installed items are practical weapons. Let's fight by taking advantage of our geographical advantage.
・Javelin
Javelin is a general term for throwing spears. In the fighting arena, it is stuck in the sand pile. This is a rare weapon that is rarely seen on other stages. You can have 5 at a time, the damage is high,It can be thrown long distances in a straight line.It's powerful, so if you see it, be the first to secure it.
·spike
One of the characteristics of the fighting arena is the large number of spikes installed. Spikes will cause damage if the character touches them at a certain speed or higher (it's okay to touch them if you're moving slowly). When getting out of a melee, be aware of your surroundings and stay calm. A single blow from a spike can be fatal.
・Activation type pitfall
This is a big pitfall that can be activated by giving a shock to the switch. There are objects falling all over the place in the fighting arena, so classes other than archers should also be careful so that they can always be activated by throwing. Of course if it fallsinstant deathSo you can aim for a lot of kills.
