Chivalry 2 Best Weapons and Tier List

Chivalry 2 gives each class its own weapon set built around its playstyle. Some weapons are unlocked at the start of the game, while cosmetic variants need to be unlocked by playing. In this article, we'll give you our Chivalry 2 best weapons 2025 list. Whichever class you want to play, these weapons will help you out. So let's take a look at our list:

Chivalry 2 Best Weapons 2025

Best Knight Weapons

Messer

If you're playing as the Knight class, the Messer is an easy pick as one of the best weapons in the game. It's known as the best two-handed sword in the game. It has long-range attack capability and can deal a lot of damage to enemies. These traits make it the strongest weapon in the game.

Two-Handed Hammer

The Two-Handed Hammer is one of the best weapons for balancing damage and attack speed in the game. It has the highest damage among all melee weapons in Chivalry 2, and thanks to its wide hitbox, landing hits with this weapon is quite easy.

War Axe

After the Messer, the War Axe is the best one-handed weapon for the Knight class. It doesn't just deal good damage — it also lets you dual-wield it with a shield. That gives you the freedom to play with whatever style you want.

Best Vanguard Weapons

Greatsword

The Greatsword is one of the best Vanguard weapons. This two-handed weapon deals genuinely huge damage. Thanks to its sharp design, you can one-shot lightly armored enemies, and you don't even need to lower the attack with a specific part of the sword.

Messer

The Messer is a better weapon than most others in the game. Because of this, it's worth using with any class it's compatible with. If you're playing Vanguard, you can use the Messer with the Devastator subclass. This weapon has good damage, good range, and fast animation speeds.

Two-Handed Hammer

You can also use the Two-Handed Hammer with the Vanguard class. Since it has the highest melee damage output in the game, you can kill enemies in a single hit. Thanks to its power, the Two-Handed Hammer is one of the best weapons you can use with the Vanguard class.

Best Footman Weapons

One-Handed Spear

The Spear has the longest range of any weapon in Chivalry 2. Thrust attacks also deal bonus damage, making it hands-down the best mid-range weapon in the game. To use this weapon to its full potential, you need to stay behind your Knights and Vanguards and attack enemies safely.

Halberd

The Halberd has a long-range attack, which makes it ideal for stabbing attacks. This weapon offers a great, versatile option during fights.

Glaive

The Glaive has great damage, range, and attacks. If you land a hit on an opponent while at full range, you'll deal very high damage. The weapon's only downside is that you need to hit enemies with its sharpened part to deal maximum damage. If you hit an enemy with the lower part or the handle of the Glaive, the damage is reduced.

Best Archer Weapons

Crossbow

The Crossbow is the best ranged weapon and can easily deal with heavy armor. It kills enemies in fewer hits than most melee weapons, making it one of the best choices for the Archer class.

Longbow

The reason the Longbow is one of the best weapons for the Archer class is that it lets the user fire arrows while moving. With other bows, you need to stand still to nock your arrows, which leaves you completely open to attacks. This advantage puts the Longbow above most of the other long-range weapons in the game.

Javelin

The Javelin can be used both in melee and ranged combat, giving it an edge over the Archer class's other weapons. If you throw the Javelin and hit an opponent, it deals quite good damage. The Javelin's only downside is that you can only throw five before you need to restock.
