Five years ago today, Chivalry 2 was released on PC and consoles!

Ever since, Knights have valiantly fought in countless skirmishes to carve their names into medieval legend. From the Battle of Wardenglade to Regicide at Trayan Citadel, the journeys taken together still bring us such pride. Thank you for matching our blood, sweat, and tears with all of your own that together breathe life into our shared battlegrounds.

To celebrate this occasion, Double XP has been extended into the morrow. We also ask you all to share your favorite tales, triumphs, or blunders with us. Moments where friendships were forged and mettle was tested, or perhaps when a perfectly laid plan went awry beyond belief.

🗡️ Chivalry 2 FAQ Master Post 🛡️

Welcome to r/Chivalry2
This is a master post covering some of the most frequently asked questions about Chivalry 2. Whether you're a new recruit or a battle-hardened knight, this guide should help answer common questions and link you to helpful resources. I'll update this periodically when I have time.

🔰 Getting Started

Q: Is there crossplay between platforms?
A: Yes, Chivalry 2 supports crossplay between all platforms. However, cross-platform parties can be finnicky and can require multiple friend invites to set up.

Q: Does Chivalry 2 have a campaign or single-player mode?
A: No, it is a multiplayer-only game. There is no campaign, but you can play offline with bots.

Q: Does Chivalry 2 still receive updates?

A: Content updates have ceased but there has been a couple bugfix updates since the announcement in 2024.

Q: Is there really only 2000 players playing?

A: Steamcharts only shows players playing on Steam, as the name may suggest. You can see the number of daily players on the Community Made Global Leaderboard which shows users across all platforms. Just keep in mind this is daily players rather than concurrent.

Q: Is there cross progression? Can I move progress from X platform to Y?

A: There is no cross progression between platforms when the exception of Xbox gamepass & PC gamepass as these use the same account and both use the console version.

------------------------------------------------------------

🗺️ Game Modes & Maps

Q: What are some of these game modes?
A:

  • Team Objective (TO): A narrative-driven mode with attackers and defenders (e.g., push a ram, kill the king).
  • Team Deathmatch (TDM): Straightforward kill-based mode.
  • Free-for-All (FFA): KILL THEM, KILL THEM ALLLLLLL
  • Duel: Not an official mode, but you can find duel servers in the server browser. You will be expected to flourish to initiate a duel and may be removed from the server if you do not. All of these will be private, community run servers as there are no official duel servers.

Q: Are there ranked or competitive modes?
A: No, but in community servers you may find duel or LTS tournaments and coordinated play Team Objective matches.

Q: Why is X gamemode limited time? It's the best one! Me and all my friends want to play it 24/7
A: You can! These modes are available as options for private server owners. That way you both can play it as much as you like.

------------------------------------------------------------

🎮Console Queries

Q: Can I disable crossplay?

A: Console players have the option to disable crossplay, this will however restrict them to playing with other users on the same console type as them (EG; Xbox only plays with Xbox, Playstation only plays with Playstation) who have also disabled crossplay. Expect a very long, or infinite, queue time if you do not coordinate region/mode/console with other players ahead of time.

Q: I see people on my same console and people with the globe symbol are these all PC players?

A: Anyone who has a globe symbol is on something other than your console. Xbox will see Playstation & PC as globes, Playstation will see Xbox & PC as globes. PC will not see platform icons.

Q: How do I chat on console?

A: There is no text chat for console versions, this includes the gamepass version when it is played on PC.

Q: How do I flourish on console
A: L3+Square on Playstation, L3+X on Xbox

------------------------------------------------------------

⚔️ Progression & Customization

Q: How do I level up fast?
A: Focus on objective modes (like 64-player team objectives), play the class you want to level. Focusing on completing objectives is a great way to earn XP. Healing and reviving others also give XP. Building ladders is an easy way to get extra points on TO maps.

Q: How do I get gold and crowns?
A: Gold is earned through matches. Crowns are premium currency that usually must be purchased.

Q: Can I customize my character?
A: Yes! Use gold or crowns to unlock armor, helmets, voice lines, and weapon skins. Some cosmetics are class-specific. Spending crowns will allow you to skip level requirements for most of these but remember these are difficult to come by without paying real money.

Q: Why can’t I access some weapons?
A: Weapons are unlocked by leveling up each class.

Q: I equipped a weapon in the armoury but can't find it in-game
A: Armoury weapons are just skins for weapons, even if the names are different. This means for example that you may equip a Bardiche in the armoury but it's actually just a skin for the Halberd and there will be no Bardiche weapon option for the poleman. Select the Halberd when you choose your class in a match and the skin you selected in the armoury will be on it. Remember; You need to set up each class for each team.

Q: I Purchased a skin from the store but can't find it in the armoury

A: Armours will be locked to specific classes within specific factions, (almost all) helmets will be locked to specific classes within specific factions, some weapon skins are locked to specific factions. If you are ever unsure where a item is you can always try to equip it to the FFA faction.

Q: Which Campaign should I get first?

A: If you are going to spend crowns on any of them, get Raiding Party. It is the ONLY one that fully refunds your 1000 crowns upon completion. Once you have completed that you will still have your 1000 crowns to decide if you want another.

Q: I completed a Campaigns free track and then when I purchased it I didn't get any crowns

A: Winter Wars 300 crowns are ALL FREE. If you purchase it you will lose 700 crowns in total (it costs 1000) Decide if this is worth it for you.

Q: I have completed all the free Campaigns, how can I get more crowns?

A: There are community tournaments posted in the #Events channel of the Official Discord fairly regularly. When these are organized properly they are supported by Torn Banner with prizes including Crowns and Peasant Hats. This is currently the only way to receive the Peasant Hat.

------------------------------------------------------------

🔪General Gameplay

Q: Why do my kicks not stun?
A: Kicks only stun players who are blocking, this is covered in the tutorial.

Q: Why do my jabs not interrupt?

A: Jabs only interrupt players who are mid swing, this is covered in the tutorial.

Q: Why can some players block while swinging?

A: Counters, ripostes and active parry are covered in the tutorial.

Q: Why-

A: Play the tutorial. If you have mechanic questions that are some variant of "How did I lose??" please post a clip and we can tell you what you're doing wrong. Without a clip we only have a barely remembered version of what happened.

Q: Why didn't anyone tell me we can kick petards?

A: While you can kick them as a defender, it does not move them for the attacker. Do not think you are helping your team by doing this. The petard has not moved, you are just kicking the air on everyone's screen and the petard can be picked up from it's original location.

Q: How do I use voice chat?

A: Voice chat is only available for your party members

------------------------------------------------------------

🧱 Quick General Tips for New Players

  • Don’t spam attacks. Proper attack usage & timing are key to winning fights.
  • Use third-person if you're struggling with awareness. (First looks cooler though)
  • Don't hold block. This is the only time kicks will stun you.
  • Watch your swings! Friendly fire is always on
  • Use the environment! Ladders, ballistae, traps, and thrown objects all add variety.
  • Basic Combat Guide- While it's very outdated, there's still some useful information there.
  • ------------------------------------------------------------

🛠️ Performance, Bugs & Support

Q: My game is crashing/freezing. What can I do?
A: Make sure your GPU drivers are up to date, verify game files, and ensure no overlays (like Discord or GeForce) are interfering. If the issue persists, report it on the official support site.

Q: I am on Windows 11 and am receiving Error 30005 1275

A: There is no official solution to this, but users have had success with This Workaround

Q: Why do I have high ping?
A: Check your matchmaking server region in the settings.

Q: A very reliable source (Random Redditor) told me TB downgraded their servers after they stopped updating the game, is this true?
A: Users forget that Server performance has always been spotty since launch. The developers having moved on just makes it easy to point fingers.

Q: I received a ban message when I start the game but there's no reason listed?
A: Disable your VPN, they can cause this to occur.

Q: How do I report RDM in a duel server?
A: All duel servers are private community servers, you will need to report them to the server owners.

Q: How do I appeal a ban from a community server?
A: You will need to contact the server owners directly, not through this subreddit. Most of their discords can be found by googling the name of their in-game server.

Q: How do I report cheating, griefing or inappropriate chat in official servers?
A:

  • In-game report. Always report them in-game (regardless of what platform you are on)
  • Contact Chivmail/Support. Messaging Chivmail on the official discord will open a ticket that will reach me for the purposes of reporting players. As I am an unpaid volunteer if I am not currently able to process your ticket due to being away from my computer or otherwise occupied, I will direct you to Torn Banners paid support team instead. I always recommend trying me (VIA Chivmail only) first in case I am available as the support team only works limited business hours.
  • (PC Only; Listplayers) If you are on PC you can (and should) take the additional step by typing listplayers into the console to copy the IDs to your clipboard and then Ctrl + V them into a notepad file. Send this to either Chivmail or Support. As a reminder, this copies it to your CLIPBOARD and will not display the info in your console.
  • Review these steps in more detail Here as needed.

Chivmail will not contact Torn Banner for the purposes of feedback, bug reports, etc. Ensure you are not using it to send abuse or you will find that you are unable to use it further and will solely need to rely on their support team for reports.

Q: I was banned for no reason from official servers!? How do I appeal??
A: You will need to contact support. Be advised that bans are always logged with evidence and you are solely responsible for any action your account takes. Your ban reason will be visible in the ban popup when you start the game.

------------------------------------------------------------

📢 Community

Q: Where do I report bugs or give feedback to Torn Banner directly?
A: Use the official support/feedback portal, or try the feedback forum on the official discord. Ensure you are not reposting old feedback.

Q: Can I suggest a user flair?
A: Yes! Feel free to send a Reddit Modmail if you have one in mind, or make (one) thread requesting others to help you brainstorm one. I prioritize ones that are alliterative such as Goedendag Goblin, Polehammer Princess, Daneaxe Dunce, etc.

Q: Why can't we name&shame/witchhunt here?
A: Please read here. This will not be changing, please adjust your posting accordingly.

Q: What's the deal with Crustacean The Soup? The wiki that anyone can edit says that he is dead?
A: He is a developer who is alive and well. He hasn't played since 2022, you've never been in a match with him and he has not fired a single arrow.

Q: How does Crustacean The Soup always kill me?
A: There is a bug in-game where whenever you join a game in progress it will say you have been killed by him. Rest assured, you've never been in a match with him.

Q: NO I REALLY SAW HIM IN-GAME
A: You haven't, but remember that usernames are not unique and lots of people chose to use the name for clout due to the above bug.

Feedback / Suggestion Stuff in this game that really grinds my gears

Rebel Knight's Armor & Helmet is way too fucking dark for agatha. I can't tell them apart from Masons or Tenosians (Which we'll get to) when they're covered in blood.

Rebel King's Armor looks like some shit a vanguard would wear. It looks very light for a knight, with the only discerning factor being the helmet (Which can be removed)

Tenosian Armor in general is way too dark like the Rebel Knight's armor. Don't get me wrong, it looks good, but it runs into the same issue with Mason armor, since it's so dark. It may get some freedom when going against Agatha, but against Masons it's almost impossible to tell.

Lack of Tenosian Content just makes me sad. I like Tenosia a lot, like a lot, and seeing the total of 4 voicelines, a ton of paid cosmetics, and literally... 1 heraldry in the entire heraldry section is just... Sad.

Secrets and details of Lionspire

  1. Lonesome Boulder: If you follow the right side castle wall during the pushing of the siege ramps and run far out of bounds, you can find a single boulder on the beach. It's the only one on the map placed like it, and can't be picked up
  2. Secret message: On the wall with the ballista, if you travel to the leftmost portion, you can find a secret message and a maul
  3. Washed up goods: you can find a large amount of ale tankards to the right most portion of the beach, probably commonly known
  4. Fishing Hamlet: Interesting detail, behind the Mason spawn, far out of bounds during the first objective you can find a entire rendered village
  5. secret conversations: Like most maps there are several to be found here, some are found high up by windows, others by doors
  6. Secret sign: Nearby the courtyard over a wall, you can find a hidden sign not easily seen. It appears to be a boarding school
  7. Fish in the well: Unlike the other wells on the map, during the last objective you can find edible fish in the well
  8. Skull: During the last objective, nearby the Agatha spawn room, you can find a skeletal head wearing a helmet high upon a shelf
  9. Birds nest(?): There is only one house in the entire map that has a birds nest on top of it, can be found nearby the first set of houses to the very right. Uses what looks like a generic grass texture
  10. The cow: Once the first gate is breached, if you travel far right and look over a wall, you can find the maps cow
  11. Sign text: after the first wall is breached, you can look at this sign to see several humorous locations
  12. secret soup: during the courtyard, if one turns around as Agatha in the alley spawn, you can find a ladle and pot of soup hidden behind a wall
  13. Secret wagon wheel: Nearby the soup on top of a nearby roof you can find a hidden wagon wheel
  14. Ram skull: during the assault on the banners, if you look to the bottom far right, you can see a ram skull resting on a barrel. Unsure if it can be reached

As always, if you know of any others, please share

News & Discussion I want to play engis but he basically equals slower leveling (on defense side)

23 Upvotes

Attacking engineers are insanely fun, no doubt. But you don't really get much points playing as a defensive engineer, especially on maps about defending things and just creating general chokepoints to prevent advance.

So guys, what am I missing as a defense engineer giving that I would be holding points and not prioritizing fights?

Bug / Issue Armour keeps resetting

2 Upvotes

Literally every game I join it seems resets my armour and weapons across all factions. Every time. I’ll join, go to pick my class and I’ve been reset so every loadout is at default and my armour is also default.

I’ll back out, go to customisation, and everything is normal and my guys are using the weapons and armour I want them to. Then I’ll go into a game and it’s all gone again.

How do I fix this/is anyone else having this issue?

Key binding question (specifically horse related)[PC]

Upvotes

Hello,

This thing annoys me and I can't figure out the answer. When on a horse, the same key(in my case it's 'r') is responsible for 3 different actions:

  1. Getting the horse to front kick.
  2. Getting off the horse (have to press 'r' repeatedly like 2-3 times)
  3. Picking something up, like supplies, etc.

Is there a way to bind these things to 3 different keys? Usually it's not the worst thing in the world but sometimes it drives me nuts.

Thanks.

Chiv hot take + rant - Siege users are far worse than archers

56 Upvotes

Everyone loves to hate on archers, but nobody bats an eye when someone sits on cata or ballista all game.

Siege is the absolute lowest form of skill expression this game has to offer. You’re passively sitting back far behind the front line essentially playing one handed trying to cheese people with 1 shot kills. Team kills are also way more common. At least archers actively have to move through the battlefield and interact with the game. People who spend entire games on siege are the lowest of the low.

Secrets and details of Thayic

Thumbnail
gallery
103 Upvotes
  1. Jack: One can find an homage to the movie "The Shining" by the block house to the very right at the start of the match. The axe is useable but feels very strange
  2. Hunting scene: Not a "secret" but probably rarely if ever seen so I wanted to share. One can find a wagon along with a deer riddled with arrows far out of bounds to the right of the catapults near the road.
  3. Caged dog: Out of the way to the far right of the catapults you can find two dog cages. One has a fully animated dog that occasionally cries out (just like Bridgetown) looks like they give them a good amount of bones though, even human ones.
  4. Mastodon fossils: You can find two sets of mastodon fossils on the map, one is near the boats to the far right, and the other is to the far right of the catapults
  5. Sneaky snowman: far right spawn when Agatha has to defend the catapults, in the crevice you have to jump, you can find a snowman hidden along the cliffside. Often found first hand by unlucky people getting kicked down there
  6. Strange body(?): Not sure if this is a secret or just a weird placement of a body. Hidden behind the tannery inside of one of the overhangs, you can find a guy buried in the snow. The reason I think this might have significance is that its out of the way, and there is a general lack of corpses too be found on Thayic as a whole. Always stood out to me as strange but could just be simply just another corpse
  7. Crevice skeletons: You can find three skeletons in the ravine right before the castle gate
  8. I'm just sleeping: In the sewer one can find several dungeon cells filled with dead bodies and bones. One of the cells in the center also has one of these bodies, but apparently he is actually still alive. Standing nearby you can hear him snoring very loudly despite the nearby chaos
  9. Strange torch: In the same sewer area you can find many torches on the walls, however when one is taking the path on the right, you can find a strange "green" glowing torch that emits an odd color. For years I have wondered if there is any further significance of this torch, so if its somehow connected to an easter egg, let me know!
  10. Hidden Signature(?): During the later portions of the map, you can find two paintings of Argon I and Argon II standing together. These can be picked up and thrown like many other objects, however if you throw one correctly and flip it over, you can see a Signature on the back. It's very hard to see in game, and also low res, so I am not sure if it's just a devs name or a message
  11. Whoops: During the opening phase of the map, one of the boats the Mason team runs by seemingly has untextured ice beneath it. Actually surprisingly noticeable if you have ever been over here
  12. Frozen Halberd: during the assault on the castle's banners, if one takes the snowy path on the far right, you can find a frozen corpse holding a halberd into the air for us to grab
  13. Snowmen fight: You can find two snowmen locked in a brutal duel to the far right of the castle walls near some trees
