Gameplay Tips

• Due to the shorter range than the bayonet, a sword is best combined with SH-20 Shield Generator Pack or SH-32 Directional Kinetic Shield.
• Any bigger melee-oriented threats are the best to deal with a group of at least two Helldivers as these enemies have a far further range and can harm the player before he has a chance to hit them with the sword. It is recommended to target single individuals rather than attacking the whole group of enemies.

Notes

• Strong Arm perk works with the Saber thus making sword more effective and dealing 300 damage in total per hit.
• Saber is the only primary weapon without available upgrades and is not a pickable weapon, also it's the only strictly melee weapon and doesn't belong to any category.
• Sword was introduced in the free content update Dive Harder, released on Liberty Day 2019 and it's visible in one of its background covers.
