I haven't seen any announcements about zweihänder specifically but as we have two-handed greatswurd available, some of the higher-tier variations of that weapon class might as well be zweihänders. This tiered weapons example[i.redd.it], for instance, makes high-tier dagger look a lot like something out of a late medieval/renaissance period, making similarly styled zweihänder a likely addition to the same two-handed greatsword tier.

ok then i hope so because i like it alot and i would like to see it in the main game i could be tier 4 or 5 because of the length and the spikes near the guard have a lot of usage if you train with it

The Zweihänder is already in the game. A Zweihänder is nothing less than a two-handed greatsword, like the one hanging on the far left on your weapon rack. I just hope they will add some more variations of it in the finished game.

No, that's not a one-and-a-half bastard sword. It's a two-handed greatsword and "Zweihänder" just means "two-hander" in english. There is no unique sword type that's specificly called Zweihänder. A Claymore is the scottish variant of the two-handed greatsword. Every country has invented different names throughout history for the same thing.

The Zweihänder, also Doppelhänder, Beidhänder, Bihänder or Bidenhänder, is german for a large two-handed sword. It doesn't matter if the sword is curved, one-edged, or otherwise decorated with fancy stuff.

Essentially we all mean the same when we want more 'variations' of the two-handed greatsword in the game. You're just using different semantics.

What's wrong with the greatsword that's already in the game? Why wouldn't you consider this a two-handed greatsword and instead insist it's a "Claymore"? Is it not long enough for you or what?

While the developers are working on more weapons to add to the game, you can download this greatsword mod :

I told you the facts, If you don't wanna accept them, then that's your own problem. If all you did was do "a little search on the internet" then you know exactly nothing about greatswords, and it shows. You seem to be very confused. But if you don't want any help then don't ask for help. Have a nice day.

If there would be a 'distinctive type' of Zweihänder, why are there multiple different looking swords on the picture in that wiki article?

Typically around 140cm long, but can be up to 213 cm. Double-edged, straight bladed, grip 25+cm, with a pommel.

Early Zweihänder were simply larger versions of longswords. Later examples had Parierhaken ("parrying hooks") at the top of the ricasso as well as side rings on the hilt. Some Zweihänders had wavy blades and were called Flammenschwert or Flamberge.

Again, there IS NO distinctive type of Zweihänder and even the wiki article says that.

i have good news for you

Pretty sure you can already buy an actual Zweihänder from the Shop at Tier 4. Not a claymore but a real Zeihänder with the spike and everything.

The only weapons mods I have installed are Falchions of Eraden, Katana Megapack, and Sushin's Dragon Slayer, none of which add a Zweihänder to the game yet I can still buy one.
