Crimson Desert is a game with an incredible amount of variety—in my preview before the game launched, I called it a combat sandbox, and have been comfortably vindicated ever since by the ingenuity and style of the game’s playerbase. I’ve already seen clips of master grapplers and archers clowning on Pywel’s ne’er-do-wells with its intricate controls.

I did not, however, expect to be vindicated by digital beekeepers. That’s right, it turns out that in addition to grappling, archery, elemental powers, swordplay, spears, and every other weapon in Kliff’s arsenal, Crimson Desert’s big bads can be felled by the simple art of apiculture.
