@barryscott275 only thing I know of is a tweet from someone no official reason as to why they were removed tho just a confirmation as to them not being used

@barryscott275
I have seen some claims, e.g. in this thread, of the argument being "...because 1h swords are very expensive...". But I do not know who started these, or where they come from - so I don't take them too seriously.
Other than that - we haven't really gotten an argument other than "swords are handled as 2h" which was the confirmation that we wont have 1h swords, but not really a argumentation on why.

@aloninor @Dtheawesome9010 have they confirmed that they will add them or not or just silence?

@barryscott275 silence as usual it seems
Just promoting the game in every way they can keeping whatever wrong they did under wraps so they can forge a profit

@dtheawesome9010 I think they'll add it in either in the dlc or as part of the store stuff so they can make a buck off it

@max-mumford96 @Aloninor @Dtheawesome9010 I think they will be in the store when the seasonal DLC tbh I'd be happy to get them through store just add the swords hahaha

@max-mumford96 idk we shall see doesnt seem likely knowing Ubisoft but then again they like money so they might

@seanc-87 exactly, it’s honestly pretty brain dead of them to forget one handed swords but put in weapons that have no place in this era, that’s why this feels like it was some douchbag dev that wants everything two handed and duel wield that did this crap 🤮

@dtheawesome9010 hopefully they will surprise us and listen to the fans and gives something back hears hoping

@dedweb
Like there is not enough that spam already !!
First no shield in Odyssey and now this !
There is about dozen threads about that !
Ever heard of search option ?! Learn to use it !!
Or Maybe should make dumb useless petition ?

It's pretty farcical that you aren't able to wield one handed swords. Genuinely baffling. You play as a Viking, in a game based on Vikings, full of Viking lore, and Viking exploits, at the time of Vikings and everything they did, yet there's no one handed Viking sword.

Ya know, I don't even have the words. Quite simply just what the ....?

Can I just have one of those, please?

@yorha_116d we all wish we could

You can spin it whichever way you want but to not have playable, normal, one handed swords in a game built around Vikings, on Viking lore, at the time of Vikings, doing everything Vikings did, whilst playing as a Viking, well, it's just flat out ridiculous. Completely baffling. I don't have the words to even express how ridiculous it is tbh.

@barryscott275
scattering swords in piles like this all over the Valhalla's world looks like very bad joke from Ubi

@squaretoshoot no one does everyone is a mixture of confused, annoyed and just not surprised we just need to conformation for Ubisoft that they are aware and doing something that's all most of us want I think

@yorha_116d they are just laughing at us they could fix it pretty easily so just need to do something

Please add one handed swords for eivor with new combos. Its most common weapon and vikings uses their own viking swords too.

@squaretoshoot

It would be like making a WWII shooter but with no M1 Garand, you don't do that lol.

@squaretoshoot I’m right there with you, it’s so bloody mind boggling they forgot one handed swords, i actually want the two handed swords removed until one handed swords are added I’m so salty about it

the only benifits from the two handed dual wielding i found is i can use spear and shield which is a traditional Viking style so there’s that atleast
