The Rusty Sword is the first meleeweapon encountered by the player in Dead Cells. The player starts every game with the Rusty Sword equipped unless the Random Melee Weapon upgrade has been unlocked from the Collector. Once the upgrade is purchased, the Rusty Sword is relocated to a secret wall tile in the starting room.
Like the other two starting weapons, this weapon cannot be found randomly during a run.
This weapon has no special effects or perks. While it can consistently stun enemies, this melee weapon is usually replaced with a different one on most runs.
Like all starting weapons, rerolling affixes on the rusty sword costs 0 coins.
