Mordhau's latest update will give you one more reason to revisit the game. The multiplayer-only hack-and-slash game received a small update yesterday. It added two time-limited cosmetics to the game. You can equip Candy Cane – Heavy Branch skin and Christmas Ornament - Firebomb skin. Do it fast though, they aren’t gonna stick around for long.
That’s all about the new content for this update. Rests of the changes are balancing tweaks for combat, weapon, and equipment, along with some minor bug fixes.
