The sabre or saber is a sword designed for use from horseback. Based on a medieval type of single-edged weapon and European backsword, the saber was adopted as the weapon of heavy cavalry in Early Modern warfare. Although sabers are typically thought of as curved-bladed slashing weapons, those used by the heavy cavalry of the 17th to 19th centuries often had straight and even double-edged blades more suitable for thrusting.
The length of sabers varied, and most were carried in a scabbard hanging from a shoulder belt known as a baldric or from a waist-mounted sword belt, usually with slings of differing lengths to permit the scabbard to hang below the rider's waist level.[1]
Battlefield 1
The Cavalry Sword was first seen in the "Battlefield 1 Official Reveal" trailer, brandished by a Zara Ghufran. A scene from the "Battlefield 1 Gamescom Gameplay" trailer shows a foot soldier striking down a medic. It is not available to the standard infantry kits in multiplayer.
Singleplayer
A hidden cavalry sword can be found in the chapter Breakdown of the mission Through Mud and Blood in the singleplayer campaign. It is located in the French village that Danny Edwards is tasked to search through for part to fix his damaged tank. When arriving at the village, look for a two story building with a mounted machine gun turret in the window. The cavalry sword can be found inside the building hidden under a table on the first floor. Obtaining a kill with this weapon will award players with the "Mightier than the Shovel" achievement/trophy.
Multiplayer
The Cavalry Sword is one of two weapons available on horseback. Riders can use the saber to reach far to right side to slice infantry, opposing cavalry, or exposed passengers in vehicles.
Other riders can use the saber while mounted, but retain their original melee weapon after dismounting.
While having considerable horizontal range, saber attacks while mounted cannot strike prone targets. However, the enemy risks getting trampled anyway.
The saber also serves as the Cavalry's melee weapon while on foot. As of the Open Beta, it has similar statistics to the hand tools (pickaxe, hatchet, shovel), even sharing their takedown animation. It is able to destroy barbed wire.
