Weapon Ideas and feed back

  • first let me say I love the weapons in the game as they all have a role to play and a large skill ceiling. However, there are a couple of tweaks I wouldnt mind seeing.

    Starting with the double pistol while this weapon is lovly in its current state seeing it changed to a duck foot pistol or even having a duck foot pistol added would allow the double pistol to retain its multishot charm without incroching on the pistols utility.

    Next for the grapple gun I would love to see an alternate ammo that allows for a placeable line to balance on. Not only would this give the gun more loot running utility it would also give you another means and chance at movement should your hooks brake on terrain without pulling you to it.

    Now for weapon ideas that could be added to the roster.

    First, a Bow and Arrow or Crossbow this would fill a simaler position as the BlowPipe but be more geared for PVP useing Arrows, Firebomb Arrows, and either Blunderbomb or Skelloton Bomb arrows. This would be the thematic companion to the Blowpipe as stated before.

    Next, a Ax and Sheild. useing Viking themes an Ax and shield ment to be the sword devensive conterpart whould be quite interesting. its move set would have a 3 hit light with the Ax a gaurd with the sheild (which could block bullets from the shoulders to the waist) and a shield bash from gaurd in place of a charged attack (has a large knock back). this bash could have a cooldown.

    lastly, a supressed musket. though it sounds dumb, haveing a supressed long gun would tematicly fit your recent focus on stealth as well as round out a three weapon roster for an update roadmap.

    what im hinting to witht hte last bit is the idea of ship class spacific cosmetics for example a viking long boat skin for the Brig, or a Chinese style ship for the galleon, or a scaled down turtelship skin for the sloop.

    Please use any and all ideas here and I'd love to read others ideas on the topic! See you out there.

  • Of course I am gonna enthusiastically agree with adding a bow.

    increase power and speed of the one shot pistol

    and I'd be pretty happy

    Strictly speaking about random adventure pvp encounters here,

    the game is getting more fun because of the variety we are slowly getting.

    Knives are fun, the blow dart gun is awesome, the traps are interesting against boarders when combined with other tools/weapons.

    I prefer the strategy of combat over just shooting. As they keep adding new weapons/tools it makes it more interesting and makes strategy more relevant.

    I've never been big on SoT combat outside of naval but it's definitely heading in a direction that is more interesting and occasionally more fun as they add more options.

    Imo the blowdart gun shows that they could make a really fun bow in this game for both pve and pvp. I've been loving it for both.

  • Can’t for the life of me picture a pirate using. Bow, axe and shield and a suppressed weapon? Which wasn’t a thing during the era.

    Video or picture to prove this statement, please.

  • @runnerofthewest I would've much preferred a hand crossbow to a blowpipe.

  • @burnbacon bow? We allready have blowdarts so in thame of more tribal weapons used in caribbean.
    Atlat (dart thrower) too.

    Bording axe - sure thing, iconograhpy sources and lot of others.
    Buckler would fit too.

    We don't have eny proper date for game so we are all over "golden age od piracy" with is vide bracket from XVI to XVIII century so would put crossbow in field too.

    Pleace at least try to educate yourself before refer to IRL history.

    Suppresor is stupid as hell tho.

    I'm sure they had harpoon guns, right?
