For Honor's military cocktail of Vikings, Knights, and Samurai is quite a sight to behold. For whatever reason these three styles of warrior aren't able to get along despite their shared interests in steel, combat, and shouting incomprehensible phrases. The result is a violent Ubisoft multiplayer game that has us hooked.
At one point or another you've probably wondered what these guys are saying. They certainly aren't speaking English, and that means for the most part you and everyone else just think they sound cool without actually understanding what they're saying—like a Ramstein song.
Well, a Reddit user by the name Kevin8ryan has taken the time to translate some of the most commonly said in-game phrases. Let's put it this way, you're never going to hear the game in the same way ever again.
