Hey there! So, you're diving into For Honor and wondering about the shiny stuff you'll be collecting? That's Steel, and it's pretty much the backbone of your economy in the game. Think of it as your main ticket to unlocking new heroes, grabbing cool outfits, and generally making your warrior look and feel awesome. The best part? There's no special 'premium' currency to worry about; it's all Steel, all the way. ## Getting Your Hands on Steel Earning Steel is pretty straightforward, and you'll get it just by playing the game. Here’s a breakdown of how you'll rack it up: * Match Endings: Every match you complete will give you some Steel. The amount can change depending on the type of match, how long it lasted, and whether you were playing against other players (PvP) or AI. * Orders: Keep an eye on your Daily and Timed Orders. Completing these is a solid way to get a nice chunk of Steel. * Events: Special in-game Events often come with their own Steel rewards, so don't miss out when they're active. * Faction War: At the end of each round and season of the Faction War, you'll get Steel based on how well your chosen faction performed. It's a nice bonus for contributing to the war effort. * Practice Modes: You can earn Steel by completing the practice modes, but remember, this is a one-time reward. * Story Campaign: Playing through the Story Campaign is another way to get Steel. You'll earn some for finishing missions, and you can also find Steel hidden in broken pots throughout each mission. This is also a one-time reward. Here’s a quick look at some of the Steel you can expect from certain activities: | Mode | Steel Reward | | --- | --- | | Basic Practice Mode | 2000![Steel](https://forhonor.fandom.com/wiki/Steel) | | Advanced Practice Mode | 1500![Steel](https://forhonor.fandom.com/wiki/Steel) | | Campaign | 4000[![Steel]()](https://forhonor.fandom.com/wiki/Steel) | | Orders | 150 - 500[![Steel]()](https://forhonor.fandom.com/wiki/Steel) per Order | And for matches, the rewards can look something like this: | Mode | PvP | PvAI | Solo | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Breach | 100[![Steel]()](https://forhonor.fandom.com/wiki/Steel) | 80[![Steel]()](https://forhonor.fandom.com/wiki/Steel) | 75[![Steel]()](https://forhonor.fandom.com/wiki/Steel) | | Dominion | 50[![Steel]()](https://forhonor.fandom.com/wiki/Steel) | 40[![Steel]()](https://forhonor.fandom.com/wiki/Steel) | 25[![Steel]()](https://forhonor.fandom.com/wiki/Steel) | | Skirmish | | Elimination | 40[![Steel]()](https://forhonor.fandom.com/wiki/Steel) | 32[![Steel]()](https://forhonor.fandom.com/wiki/Steel) | 20[![Steel]()](https://forhonor.fandom.com/wiki/Steel) | | Tribute | | Brawl | 30[![Steel]()](https://forhonor.fandom.com/wiki/Steel) | 24[![Steel]()](https://forhonor.fandom.com/wiki/Steel) | 15[![Steel]()](https://forhonor.fandom.com/wiki/Steel) | | Duel | 26[![Steel]()](https://forhonor.fandom.com/wiki/Steel) | 13[![Steel]()](https://forhonor.fandom.com/wiki/Steel) | Heads up: Dynamic Rewards can boost the Steel you get from multiplayer matches, especially in longer games. ## What Can You Spend Steel On? Steel is your go-to for a lot of things: * Heroes: Want to try out a new warrior? You'll need Steel to unlock them. * Cosmetics: This is where Steel really shines. You can buy all sorts of cool stuff to customize your hero's appearance, like outfits, weapon skins, armor effects, and more. * Scavenger Crates: If you're out of Scavenger Crates, you can use Steel to buy them, which then give you gear. Important Distinction: Don't confuse Steel with Salvage. Salvage is what you get from breaking down unwanted gear, and it's used for upgrading your current gear and for XP sharing. Steel can't do those things. So, keep your Steel for buying new goodies and your Salvage for improving what you've already got!
