The zweihänder is an exceptionally long two-handed sword, traditionally used to counter pikes and control space on the battlefield. In this variant, the blade is forged with a narrower, reinforced profile, optimized for thrusting attacks over slashing power. Its extended reach allows it to threaten opponents before they can close in, making it ideal for keeping enemies at a distance or targeting vulnerabilities in formations. The forward hand can grip a section of the blade above the guard, giving the wielder better control for precision thrusts in tight lines.

In Cosmic Odyssey, modern alloys and balance adjustments turn the zweihänder into a hybrid between sword and spear. While it can still deliver sweeping cuts when needed, its true strength lies in its ability to pierce armor gaps and exploit range superiority. It excels in open terrain and defensive positions, where maintaining a perimeter is crucial, but it requires careful positioning—once enemies get inside its effective reach, the wielder must rely on footwork and timing to regain control.
