The multiplayer hack-and-slash action game Chivalry 2 received tons of new content in the recently released Patch 2.6.0, also known as the Reinforced Update.
Fight against other players on horseback with the new Hippodrome. This TDM/FFA map is the Tenosian equivalent of the Tournament Grounds and is riddled with flamethrowers and spike traps to make things even more challenging. And if that’s not enough, you’ll also be facing enemies on horses for some fast-paced action!
Wait, that’s not all! The Reinforced Update also introduces the first dual-wielded weapon in Chivalry 2, the Katars! This deadly pair of daggers can be equipped by Ambushers to make quick work of the enemy, even those who are clad in armor. Although it has a very weak block compared to the other weapons in the game, you can compensate for this by dodging your foes’ attacks instead.
