Added Abyss Gear and Refining section
Two-handed greatswords are massive bladed weapons built for raw power. They sacrifice speed for devastating damage, with each swing capable of cleaving through groups of enemies. Greatswords are the heaviest of the two-handed bladed weapons, favoring players who prefer a slow but punishing combat style.
Greatswords can be upgraded through the refining system to increase their base stats. Many support Abyss Core slots for further customization.
There are 6 greatswords currently known in Crimson Desert. The table below lists all of them sorted by grade and attack power.

Greatswords deliver some of the highest damage per hit among bladed weapons. Their wide arcs make them effective against groups, and charged attacks can break enemy guards. The slow swing speed requires careful timing, as missed attacks leave you vulnerable to counter-attacks.
Greatswords can be slotted with Abyss Gear and refined at a blacksmith to raise their base attack. Because greatswords already deal the highest damage per swing among bladed weapons, stacking attack and crit gears leans into their burst identity, while the slow recovery means timing and positioning matter more than with faster weapons. The Absolute Justice Greatsword is a strong early Rare option at 17 attack before refining.
