Unarmed combat in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is more than just swinging wildly and hoping for the best. With the right combos, you can knock enemies down, wear them out, and even take on armored opponents—if you know what you’re doing.
Unlike weapons, unarmed fighting relies on quick strikes, grappling, and counters. It’s great for tavern brawls, training, or when you somehow end up in a fight without a sword. Read on to learn about combos, including the specific moves to make them work.
How Unarmed Combat Works
You attack in five directions (left, right, high, low, and center).
Combos require chaining specific attacks together in different directions.
Blocking at the right time lets you counter or grapple.
Stamina matters—if you run out, your punches won’t do much.
Some perks improve unarmed combat, making it more viable.
Where to Learn Unarmed Combos
You can train with Barnaby in Kopina after completing:
Melee at the Mill (fighting quest)
Wine, Women, and Blood (side quest)
If you want to be a real fist-fighting champion, learning these combos will give you an edge.
