Blow darts, the more I think about it the better it seems.

    -Blow darts could be a replacement for a weapon, like take up the pistol section of your menu or even just be a 3 shot weapon of its own.
    -Make it purchasable so it’s something to work towards.
    -Have it do poison damage in pvp and then it can stun animals for attempts to capture.

    • maybe have the ammo purchasable so it means that people won’t be blowing you ever 20 seconds... take or leave the pun.
    • I think a short drop off so it’s only a fairly close to medium use weapon.
    • maybe not even poison damage, perhaps it could just slow the player down, in which case add friendly fire... or better yet makes them vomit, but a different colour vomit.

    @shadowstrider-7 thanks for he heads up, i know that it violates the tos but there are posts talking about the reddit data mine, i thought i fogged up my post enough to stay out of trouble, seeing that OP saw my post i have since edited it. Curiosity killed the cat :)

    Maybe it could add something like the drunk affect on players making you disoriented e.g. blury screen, walking funny and noise distortion. Just have it not last as long as being drunk so its not too unfair in pvp situations.

    @iiv3n0mzz-uk completely agree, although from what I’ve seen of beta footage, most people are a terrible shot so the drunken movements will probably make it harder to be hit by a player. I was thinking a short drop off so you had to get close to them, maybe have it take a few seconds to reload so it’s not something to be relied upon in combat.
    I have heard them say they want to have an array of weapons so that crews can gear up specifically for the situation they are heading into.
    I think a trident would be quite fitting also, get a little god of the seas persona going.

    @captinzhou if you use the blunderbuss its hard to miss. Not sure i agree with the trident though, it just doesn't seem like a piraty thing to me. 10/10 for creativity though.

    Discussing the Datamine (content or otherwise) or referring to it in any way is not permitted on the forums as it is a breach of the Xbox ToS. If this happens again you will be banned without further notice, this is taken very seriously.

    @tartansnake-8 again I apologize, I thought it would be fine as I have seen other posts talking about the data mine with a moderator haveing removing posts that had detailed information, and leaving posts that discussed vauge details. I promise that I wont disscuss the topic anymore. I enjoy Sea of Thives a little too much and went digging up treasure that should have stayed buried.

    @iiv3n0mzz-uk Aye, maybe a trident is a step too far, a good spear might come in handy, could also double up for spear fishing.

    @tartansnake-8 I don’t think he was meaning to share forbidden information, I think he was just trying to highlight that I was onto something. He’s not trying to undermine the game, he’s just spreading the love... and he had already been told and edited it.

    You could also have a breath system in place, kinda like a draw on a bow, the longer you draw your breath for the further and faster it would travel. It kinda works well with the theme behind pirates with native tribes and stuff during that time period.
    Another idea that would probably not happen if blowdarts were a thing was a type of system where you have to pull the dart out and if you leave it in long enough it makes the effects worse

    @mrdestiny17 I like it! I think it could really work well in the game, even change up the poisons so one put you to sleep for a few seconds, one slowed you down, one made you drunk and one just hurt.

  • mrdestiny17

    @captinzhou maybe the sleep dart could make it to where you could lock them in the brig?

    @mrdestiny17 YES! I was wondering how they could incorporate that into the game!
