Heavy Weapons

Heavy weapons do not duel. They demolish. One good swing can end an enemy — and several at once.

What It Does

The Heavy Weapons skill governs your use of the heaviest weapon class — massive damage, strong armour penetration, and the ability to hit multiple enemies in an arc.

Hidden Effects

Heavy weapons demand high Strength to swing without penalty. Below the strength requirement, attack speed and effectiveness drop sharply.

How XP Works

It trains like any weapon skill — by fighting capable enemies with a heavy weapon equipped.

Best Training Methods

Build Strength first, then fight bandit groups where the wide swing arc lets you hit several enemies at once.

Common Mistakes

Handing a heavy weapon to a low-Strength character. They will swing slowly, miss, and get punished. Strength is the prerequisite, not an option.
