Heft — Kenshi Cities & Settlements reference image

Heft has everything money can buy, and a great deal of what it should not be allowed to.

A major United Cities metropolis — wealthy, noble-run, and one of the best markets on the map.

Wanderer's TipHeft's Heavy Armoury is one of the best places to buy high-grade plate without crafting it yourself.

Who Controls It

Heft is one of the largest United Cities metropolises, governed by nobles and policed by UC Samurai. A centre of trade, politics and slavery.

Shops & Services

Among the deepest markets in the game — weapons, armour, goods and bulk buyers. The Heavy Armoury here sells some of the strongest plate available.

Defences & Dangers

Strong UC Samurai garrison. Safe to trade in if you keep a clean record; get wanted and the same guards may enslave you.

Best Reasons To Visit

Mid-game trade, top-tier armour shopping, and bounty turn-ins. Keep your nose clean and Heft is a goldmine.

Wanderer's Note

“A bite from a slaver patrol is not the end — captivity trains Strength and Toughness.”
