Come; we fight like men.
The Heavy

The Dread Knot is a community-created promotional cosmetic item for the Heavy. It is a chonmage, the traditional top-knotted hairstyle of edo-period men and samurai in Japan and, in more modern times, sumo wrestlers.

The Dread Knot was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-ordered Total War: SHOGUN 2 on Steam before March 15, 2011.

Trivia

  • The name is a reference to the "dreadnought", a type of 20th century battleship with tremendous firepower. The word itself literally means "fear nothing".
  • Chonmage hairstyles were popular in feudal Japan as a convenient way to keep one's hat or helmet on. They remained popular until the early 20th century.
