OVERVIEW
What is Mordhau?
Mordhau is a medieval first & third person multiplayer slasher. Enter a hectic battlefield of up to 64 players as a mercenary in a fictional, but realistic world, where you will get to experience the brutal and satisfying melee combat that will have you always coming back for more.
Developer
Mordhau is being developed by Triternion, a small international team of independent developers from Austria, Canada, Germany, Poland, Slovenia, Spain, and Sweden. Most of us have a background in arts or computer science and are big fans of multiplayer slasher games, which we also play competitively.
GAMEPLAY
Melee Combat
Chain your attacks into combos, punish your opponents with quick counters, push them away with kicks, trick them with feints, grip your polearm closer to the head, use real halfswording techniques -- and much, much more. Mordhau has a very deep and rewarding combat system. To learn more view the video above and to go very in depth click on the Guide in the links section.

Progression
There is leveling and gold. Levels unlock gear and customization options that can then be purchased with gold. Gold is awarded after every match and acquired in game only. Basic weapon and armor types are fairly cheap to buy and the more expensive ones are purely cosmetic upgrades.
Loadouts
There is a point based loadout system in Mordhau. Armor types, weapons, utilities and perks all take up points. You have multiple slots to try out different builds.
Weapons
Smith your sword out of individual pieces: pick from blades, crossguards and grips. Want a mace instead? No problem, pick your head and handle and choose the wood type. There are thousands of possible combinations.
3 slots for weapons or utilities.
1-3 point weapons: Side arms & backup weapons, either they lack damage or reach, but can really help out if you just need to land one more hit on someone.
3-5 point weapons: Dueling Weapons. These fill the role of backup or primary; these weapons are usually suited more towards duels, but can be used in teamfights pretty well, especially the longsword and the messer.
6-8 point weapons: Middle-ground weapons. Bardiche, greatsword, poleaxe and battleaxe are pretty great in every situation, especially if you use the alternate modes.
8+ points weapons: Support weapons. These tend to shine in team fights, with great reach and good damage. Eveningstar packs a massive punch but is slow, while something like the spear can get super quick stabs in from crazy far away. Halberd/zwei are awesome cleaving weapons and work best when you don't stick to a 1v1, instead switching around to get kills on people who are fighting someone else.
Armor
Create your suit of armor: pick from gloves, arms, shoulders, chest pieces, legs, boots, helmets, and more. Color each piece to your liking and select a metal tint. Be anything from a viking to a crusader, or even a sharpshooting archer. Armor is important, as it will mitigate damage dealt to those parts of your body. There are 4 tiers of armor in Mordhau. Each armor tier has progressing amounts of damage mitigation, at the cost of footspeed. Cosmetic/T0 items are purely aesthetic, as their name implies.
