byproduct of when you heat up a pot of water until 100 degree Celsius in which they will boil, the smoke that is coming from it is called "Steam". This byproduct has been used in ancient times to cook foods especially chicken and fishes and used in modern time to produce electric energy.

Bug: Stuck on gore selection menu. When booting up the game nothing happens when making a gore selection.
Solution: Clean reinstall
Delete all files relating to the half sword playtest existing in your local files. Be sure to back up your screenshots folder if you took any!
Navigate to and delete the Half Sword Playtest folder located in the following directory.
C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common
Navigate to and delete the Saved folder located in the following directory.
C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\HalfSwordUE5
Finally, reinstall Half Sword Playtest.

you're not alone, it's a very picky weapon to use
mint wadi
Is it just me, or is the billhook polearm actually difficult to land proper cutt...
Can be. Try farther standing farther away.
It's essentially like using a big sword but you're cutting with only the tip
manic parcel
So the whole edge isn’t made to be sharp?
mint wadi
The billhook point is really tiny relative to the rest of the handle.
rich tulip
i feel like everyone in this game wants me dead 😦
manic parcel
The billhook point is really tiny relative to the rest of the handle.
I am aware of how a polearm works. I’m just asking about the head of the weapon
mint wadi
There's just not much surface area for cutting.
opaque creek
bestow harm polearm
manic parcel
I feel like I need to rephrase the question
mint wadi
Cutting wise I'm only successful when using it like this
Better on high damage settings
opaque creek
It’s 2h can’t you just spam X before downswings
mint wadi
Get the hook behind them by holding alt and thrusting forward then backwards.
Yeah but it's a billHOOK
You hook'em with it
opaque creek
Or hulk smash
opaque creek
billie
mint wadi
Otherwise yes it's easy for the damage to be blunt when you swing unless you pierce them with the hook.
manic parcel
Technically yes, that is the traditional way of striking with a bill hook: you can either slice, or slap and pull.
mint wadi
Seems like it's just not very sharp long the blde.
manic parcel
Seems like it's just not very sharp long the blde.
YES!
That’s what I’m sayin!
It feels like it’s only sharp at the tip of the bill
mint wadi
It's just not made to be sharp that way ingame? That's my justification at least.
Could be a bug
This seems to be the way I usually kill using swings.
manic parcel
The only way I can see that is if it were wooden
mint wadi
Less of a slice and more of an alignment of the hook as a spike.
mint wadi
The only way I can see that is if it were wooden
Well, even when I hit them with the dullish part, it still cuts them and makes the blunt sound and effect, so it's cutting, but it's not programmed to be a deep cutting weapon?
manic parcel
The billhook was designed to cut and stab around shields, with the barb at the base of it to catch and rip barding and armor on the pullback
mint wadi
I typically avoid using the billhook, kinda seems like the backthrust mechanic is unfinished
forward thrust works.
but actually ripping it backwards is a little janky
manic parcel
I don’t have too much issue with that.
As a medieval weapon’s practitioner, I took actual combat motions and incorporated them to the game’s best ability.
And I can say no other game comes close to how accurate Half sword takes its mechanics
mint wadi
I would argue Hellish Quart is the most accurate.

yup
i still suck at parrying
so i try to just exploit vulnerabiltiies after enemies miss

If you do a single click before you click and hold, it will put your weapon into high ready position instead of low ready, which is for guarding
proud knoll
hm
manic parcel
I found that mechanic recently
You can still swing, but the movements are more for parrying before countering.
proud knoll
oh yeah i see that
is there a way to get back into the low ready
oh just clicking again
huh, neat

You can still swing, but the movements are more for parrying before countering.
There is also an autoparry system with swords/longswords only. Willie will move your weapon to the same side as the AI's swing but you will still have to move your mouse to properly parry/riposte. @proud knoll

Question: polearm heads in the game have at least two sides (axe/hammer, hammer/hook, etc), but you can't turn the weapon in your hand to use the back side, only the forward side. Shouldn't we have a way to use the full capabilities of these weapons? 🤔

Slow down and control your swings.
Turn down your sensitivity and your mouse dpi if you are using alienware.
Make sure your mouse movements are straight as you can manage as well, deviating mid swing will ruin your edge alignment.

With the double hammer head you can carry more momentum through grip switch moves but that’s kinda niche

For range, only use one arm at a time, so don’t hold both LMB and RMB
