Half Sword Red And Orange Items Explained
Red and orange items in Half Sword are gear and objects that originate from the Abyss. They are not Baron items and the color indicates their source, not their power. These items can be used like normal equipment, but they follow slightly different persistence rules depending on what happens after you leave the Abyss.
The game does not explain this clearly, so the color difference causes a lot of confusion. What matters most is where the item came from and whether you die with it equipped.
What Red And Orange Items Mean
Items From The Abyss
Red and orange colored items are items you obtained while in the Abyss. This includes weapons, armor pieces, and valuables like goblets.
The color is a visual marker that the item came from that mode. It does not mean the item is stronger or weaker than yellow Baron gear.
Can You Use Red And Orange Items
Yes, you can use red and orange items normally. You can equip them, fight with them, and store them in your inventory.
Players have confirmed these items work like any other weapon or armor during combat.
What Happens If You Die With Them
If you die while a red or orange item is equipped, the item can be lost. This is the main risk tied to Abyss items.
If the item is not equipped when you die, it may remain in your storage. Behavior here is inconsistent, but equipped items are the most likely to be lost.
Selling And Storing Abyss Items
Abyss items can be sold to the merchant like other gear. Many players sell goblets and similar valuables for currency.
Some Abyss items can be attached to your belt, letting you carry multiple valuables out safely. This makes them useful for money runs rather than combat builds.
Red and orange items come from the Abyss
They are usable like normal gear
Equipped items can be lost on death
Unequipped items may remain stored
Goblets and valuables are mainly sold
Final Blurb
Red and orange items in Half Sword simply show that the item came from the Abyss. They are usable, sellable, and valuable, but riskier if you die with them equipped. Treat them like loot with strings attached, great for profit, but not something to gamble your run on without thinking.
