4 Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 pages in Combat.

• Armor and ClothingIn Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Henry wears armor in layers, about ten slots from coif and collar to gambeson, mail, plate and padded legs, and every piece adds defense but also changes his Charisma, noise, visibility and conspicuousness. Armor wears down and is mended with repair kits or by craftsmen, and dirt and blood lower how people treat him until he washes.
• Bows and CrossbowsIn Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 bows shoot fastest but hit lightest and need Strength and Agility, while crossbows, new to the series, reload slowly by hand, crank or pulley but hit harder with almost no requirements. Both use the Marksmanship skill and aim with no crosshair; TheGamer ranks the Ash Longbow and the Reinforced Heavy Crossbow among the best.
• FirearmsHenry gets his first gun in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 in the main quest The Finger of God, where Hertel gives him a handgonne and 20 lead balls. Guns load slowly, aim badly and drain stamina, but one hit can drop an armored man; gunmaker Prokop Eldris in Kuttenberg sells more for about 200 to 1,200 groschen.
• Melee WeaponsKingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has three melee weapon skills: Swords (shortswords, sabers, hunting swords and longswords, the only weapons that can Master Strike), Heavy Weapons (maces, axes and war hammers, best against plate) and Polearms (the longest reach), plus shields, daggers for stealth kills and unarmed fighting.
