As is the case with any sharp weapon, longsword attacks cause bleeding. However, this has little advantage for the player since melee engagements are usually over long before combat penalties due to blood loss can kick in. It makes it marginally harder to save [[prisoner]]s, both from the threat of bleeding and the increased chance of [[infection]].

The longsword is a melee weapon in RimWorld that does a large amount of damage, has a long cooldown, and deals sharp damage.

Acquisition

Longswords can be crafted at any smithy, once the Long Blades research has been completed, from Stuff 100 Stuff (Metallic/Woody, 1000 for SMVs), and 18,000 ticks (5 mins) of work.

Longswords can be purchased from any outlander and orbital combat suppliers, or obtained from outlander and pirate raiders.

Analysis

The longsword has the highest base DPS out of any melee weapon in Core RimWorld. In the Royalty DLCContent added by the Royalty DLC, they are surpassed by the monosword and other ultratech weapons, though those can't be crafted by your colony.

The longsword a 22.5% higher nominal DPS than the mace, the most powerful blunt weapon that can be crafted. The mace's primary advantage is the blunt damage; sharp damage is heavily resisted by the likes of flak vests and marine armor. Even a humble (uranium) club can do better than the long sword. A plasteel longsword does better than a uranium mace against opponents with Flak jackets, Flak pants, or Plate armor, and reigns supreme against unarmored opponents.

As is the case with any sharp weapon, longsword attacks cause bleeding. However, this has little advantage for the player since melee engagements are usually over long before combat penalties due to blood loss can kick in. It makes it marginally harder to save prisoners, both from the threat of bleeding and the increased chance of infection.
