How to unlock the Mightier than the shovel achievement in Battlefield 1 - Definitive Guide
After you got your first engine part you can find the Cavalry Sword on the way to the second part. Pickup the Cavalry Sword and kill an enemy and the achievement unlocks.
This achievement/trophy can be earned in the 'Mud & Blood' campaign when you reach the chapter called 'Breakdown' which will task you with looking for spark plugs for you tank. After collecting your first set of spark plugs continue down into the town by following the part out of the little village that you were just in and once you reach a wide open street you will see a guard coming down it. Kill the guard then quickly get inside the building or the enemy upstairs will spot you. You will see the sword on the floor to the left as soon as you enter the building so pick up the sword and kill the enemy that will be walking down the stairs in that building.
Here is a video guide for you if you happen to get lost or stuck.
Mission: Breakdown
- Can be found between the 1st & 2nd engine parts, you do not need to grab the first part.
- The Sword will be sitting on the first floor of the building with a "Cles Minute" sign at the door
- Once you have the sword just melee one of the near-by soldiers for the achievement
I Know I'm A Bit Late But Hopefully At Least One Person Finds This Useful.

To unlock this achievement you will need to find the hidden cabalry sword in the french countryside and kill any enemy with it. The mission you want is 'Breakdown' on the 'Through Mud and Blood' story.
To find it, make your way to the center of the town. There is a street with buildings on either side and the sword is on the floor under a table just inside the door of the first building on the left looking down the street.

Mission 3: Breakdown
During the mission breakdown, once you start the mission follow the road straight down into the village. Once you get into the village the cavalry sword will be in the second house on the left, on the bottom floor. This house has a second floor to it with a machine gun mounted up top and you will see an enemy walking upstairs as well. Once you pick the sword up go upstairs and kill the enemy with it in order to earn this trophy.
