A heavy sword + balanced sword combination is deadly, yet challenging to use.

In training hall, dicking around throwing bolts at the barrel, I go to pick the bolt up while it's still stuck in the barrel, it picks up the barrel with it, now I have no training dummy.

Also the creator needs to make it so that if you get a weapon stuck in an enemy (IE: The pointy end of the relic axe), you can use a ghost gem to get it out.

[MaverickIB]

Why would you want to get it out? Tear those assholes up from the inside.

Sure, that's all well and good, but I just want the option of doing it. Apparently when a weapon gets stuck in an enemy, they actually fuse for a short amount of time. I went to the training hall and got my relic axe stuck in the barrel, when I ghost the axe, the barrel ghosted too.

What the hell seriously?! I keep dying whenever I fucking strike the final blow on someone in Arena!

[NotAName]

Don't strike the final blow then. Let them surrender.

Enemies that spawn with a ranged weapon, with the exception of the wooden unarmored guys who spawn with little cannons, explode violently when they die. Don't finish them off.

[Iluza]

Oh ok, my first reaction when I get them dizzy and on the ground is just "DIE YOU DYNAMITE THROWING FUCK AARARHRHAGHGHGH". Thanks for the help!

[KmScMT]

What this game needs more than anything is a level choosing screen

[TraderRager]

Pickaxe (w/ firestone) + Assault Arquebus has been serving me pretty well so far, but apparently    you lose your weapons when thrown into the abyss.

I can't not. I can't help it. Even when I know it's going to kill me. THEY NEED TO DIE.

FUCK that shit, guns are for pussies.

and dual wield allday

[Lol-Nade]

I'd like the ability to browse items in the shop, the inability to lose the weapons you've already unlocked, less spammy explosive-firing weapons that only the NPCs have, and the ability to actually aim your guns

[Iluza]

Is there a way to remove the fucking HUGE HUD? It keeps blocking my vision and I can't see the fucking enemies.

[Teh Zip File]

Oh hey, you can unlock one of the explosive guns. If you refuse to join the guy and kill the    giant robot boss in the caves (Who was incredibly easy) in the third level   , you unlock the one that fires the rockets. Not the mini-explosive spitter though.

[Lol-Nade]

Yeah that's like, the only one. And it sucks ass, it only fires three slow moving rockets.

Use a thrown weapon then.

I don't think you can get all of the guns in one save file without cheating. The guns you do get depend on the choices you make in the story, and you can't buy any of them. There's no way to choose what weapon to buy, and you get more gems through grim mode, which is unlocked by taking the hard path on the first choice.

Thanks, this has been really useful.

[Lol-Nade]

Seriously, three gems in a Strife coupled with a mortar is a beast

[MaverickIB]

Trying to edit my save so I can make some different decisions but the "cutscenes" are getting all fucked up. Stuck at where you make the choice to follow that dude for the sword or deny him and be banished or whatever. They just stand there not saying anything.

[xxfalconxx]

I ran into a rather funny glitch I didn't figure out until after I had restarted. When you're    first thrown into the abyss and have to kill the guy with the mace key   , I disarmed him and picked it up, killing him with it.

Didn't know what to do, so I just restarted. Whoops. Beat it anyways.    Joined the machines. Aww snap.   

[Lol-Nade]

I found out how to get rid of the annoying high-pitched squeal you get when you get hit with an explosive

Just go to your Hammerfight folder, Media, Sounds, and rename post_explo.ogg to something like post_explo.ogg_OLD. There will still be a temporary deafness, but no more high-pitched noise.

[Plasma Rifle]

Still, what we need now is a way to get rid of those huge ass icons.

They are just two but they take like 20% of the screen. wtf?

[TraderRager]

Once you unlock the worm mode, how do you access it? Do you need to beat the story mode first?

[Manatee Cat]

Go to the menu and press the arrow next to story.

[Sir Colton]

Goddamnit, I went into the Hard branch, beat the second wave of bees, and still no grim mode. Do I have to do more?

[Slacker996]

Anyone else having the game fuck up when you use topaz?

[Lol-Nade]

I got so much fame that it stretched the other items off the screen

[Sir Colton]

God damnit, I validated my game files and that fixed it. Had to kill those goddamn worms for the 12th time.

[Walrus.]

So if I update my steam version from 1.004 to 1.005 will I have to copy my saves? If so where would they be located?

[NinjaWilko]

In the saves folder.

[Confused111]

Oh man, I got this game today, and it's amazing. I just killed Khalid/Khalish or whatever his name was. The emperor guy. It was fantastic. Now I'm on the fortress part where the guy who gives you the sword if you join him sends you. So far I am quite in love with this game.

[Jvs]

Damn,using the spiked flail is impossible in the tribal wars gamemode,everytime I hit a worm the flail gets stuck and since the worm dies the flail can't hit enemies anymore and I have to restart the level.
Good thing I've got the colossus flail for that.

[zedpenguin]

Ok i have four questions:
1. How the fuck do I get weapons, I see no shop what so ever, and after some missons it's like "You can now use this weapon" So I assume I've unlocked them.
2. How do i stop myself from getting clusterfucked (can't get to the shop to buy new stuff so dont say "get X weapon")
3.When I press left mouse button, this wood thing folds out of my ship, what is it.
4. How do I boost, I see almost everyone enemy doing it, why can't I?

1. Buy them in a shop that get's unlocked further in the game (The Hall)
2. Dodge away by flying fast.
3. It's makes you pick up a weapon if you touch it and have more space in your inventory.
4. Move your mouse fast.

Let's see how different it is now.

Caravan defence mission in a nutshell:

Swords are good with axes and flails.

With axes, you can use the sword as a primary weapon. Attaching them gives the sword a lot more momentum due to the axe counterweight. Stabbing also gets lethal because of the weight sitting behind the sword. When heavily armored enemies show up, you can hit them with the axe to stun them (they can't put up their armor while stunned) and follow up with the sword to wherever they are exposed. The playstyle takes a bit of skill though, as spinning around hitting shit as hard as possible is no good with that combination.

With flails, as mentioned by an above poster, the sword becomes a secondary weapon. The steel whip is one of the most brutal flails around, it can absolutely fuck people's shit and unlike the colossus, is heavy. The colossus is sharp but it doesn't have a lot of brute smashing power, whereas the whip will fuck someone's shit and send them flying across the map. Adding a sword to it gives you some short range protection, as enemies can often get inside of the dead zone where flails aren't effective.

Swords are also effective to use as armor. Large hammers do the best job at keeping you safe from attacks but fuck hammers. I fucking hate using hammers.

Colossus is pretty much unlike any other weapon. It's a lightweight flail that is sharp. I found that the ball itself is pretty useless, but the barbed chain is the real deal. Hit an enemy correctly and pull him into a full spin or two around you with the chain and it'll fuck them up.

[Iluza]

How do you get these modes you're all talking about? I've finished the story, and all the modes I have are Solo, Hall, Arena and Hammerball.

Modes you unlock depend on the story decisions you make.
