In Ubisoft's fighting-themed title "For Honor," killing is always the cherry on top. It is the primary goal of players in the game. The fandom has categorized these killing sprees into two — namely, honorable and dishonorable. Here is how they differ from each other.

According to VG247, honorable kills in "For Honor" are pretty straightforward. They are basically kills that are achieved in the ultimate mano-a-mano method. Simply put, it refers to the player, the opponent and their weapons — no further assistance or interference.

In this type of kill, players cannot pick off someone that has been damaged — regardless of the severity — by another player. This also means that double-teaming someone is futile. However, it comes with a number of exceptions, one of which is pushing or shoving somebody on a ledge to die. This is just not allowed.

Honorable kills also involve not using traps, spikes or any other environmental hazards in "For Honor." Players must guarantee that they obtain their win via a one-to-one duel between two fighters. This is simply how it works.

Dishonorable kills are also pretty straightforward. It just completely defies all the above-mentioned rules in establishing honorable kills in the game. It also holds true that many players resort to such method. Why? That is because it can become a bread and butter type of thing when it comes to scoring. Nonetheless, there is nothing wrong with resorting to such fighting fashion.

In related "For Honor" news, the second season of the game has just been revealed by Ubisoft. It is coming this May 16, with lots of interesting features to introduce, as reported by TrueAchievements. One is the arrival of the two new heroes named the Shinobi and the Centurion. There will also be two sets of maps, each of which is unique to the game. The upcoming season is dubbed "Shadow and Might."
