The famous streamer Summit1g has tried his hand at the new Steam hit Mordhau . During this, he came across a very quirky weapon in a battle. The user of this weapon gave him quite a beating.
How Summit1g died: Summit1g logged into one of the Deathmatch servers of Mordhau. Deathmatch is one of the possible game modes and one that can only be accessed through the server browser.
In a Deathmatch, “All against All” is played until a player has enough points. During the skirmish with other players, however, one of his opponents suddenly pulled out a very quirky weapon: a lute.
His opponent hit him quite often and precisely with the instrument, while parrying incoming blows with somewhat ridiculous but skillful movements. It may look silly – but it worked surprisingly well.
Summit1g apparently could not quite handle this weapon and lost to the player in the duel, which others didn’t even disturb out of respect. His comment on this was a laugh and: “I hate my life so much. This is unbelievable.”
How did it work? Lutes in Mordhau, like most weapons, have two different modes:
- In normal mode, it can be played and sounds are produced.
- In attack mode, it can be swung like a club.
The ability to also use instruments as weapons and the variety of weapons is one of the reasons why Mordhau is currently so well received by the community. Such small gimmicks allow players to give their characters a bit more character.
However, lutes definitely belong to the weapons that make it hard to achieve a kill. The streamer’s opponent has probably been playing for a while and is accordingly skilled in using such “weapons.”
Mordhau – what is it? After its release on April 29, Mordhau had rapid success, which even caused the game some problems at times. Nonetheless, it has steadily grown in popularity, partly due to scenes like the one above.
The fact that even streamers like Summit1g play Mordhau live shows the game’s potential. Summit1g is according to sullygnome in 5th place among the streamers with the most followers on Twitch in the last 30 days. (As of March 3 at 5:40 PM)
