What are your most used weapons combo? (and skin)

@foxywiththemoxy
I almost always have my black dog cutlass on me. It's assigned to weapon slot 2 since it rarely ever changes. It's a mobility tool that I just can't give up. The block/ lunge/ jump is amazing.

My second weapon is the obsidian eye of reach. I mainly use it so I have a long range and a short range weapon. It's used in most pve scenarios.

The ebon flintlock will occasionally replace my sword but only in specific cases. Fighting a meg, fighting a skeleton lord, or fighting a kraken. The sword doesn't help me at all with two of those scenarios, and as long as I have an ammo crate nearby I'll use the eye of reach and the flintlock on a Skelton lord just so I can keep my distance from them.

Unfortunately I do not have the midnight blunderbuss, but I wish I did. So I use the hunter blunderbuss. I'll use it to one shot skellys at the fort of the damned. It's incredibly easy after you stun them with your lantern. Also I'll switch it in with my sword if pvp boarders start getting some successful attempts.

With some minor tweaks here and there with knockback, stun effects, and reload times, I've felt overall the weapons were well balanced. They each have advantages and disadvantages. I use them all when the time comes for it.

I don't feel the same without my cutlass ready though.

Really want the black dog set, especially the cosmetics, sadly they were part of the pre-order and I didn't get Sea of Thieves till after Forsaken Shores.

I always carry my Ashen Dragon cutlass and Golden Pirate Legend Blunderbuss. Ideally I aim to carry the full pirate legend set, but it’ll take a while to get it all together. Occasionally I’ll switch out for the Ashen Dragon Eye of Reach or Flinklock when I need longer range.

Simple melee/point blank blast combo. Keeps boarders at bay and good for cutting down skellies en masse.

That being said, certain people on these forums will probably mock certain people for certain weapon choices in this thread. Be ready for that.

I really want to get the Pirate Legend weapons as well (only got one win in Arena, little too lazy xD).
But I mainly use the Reaper's Heart cutlass and Flintlock as they look amazing, the cutlass especially.

@foxywiththemoxy I use sword & eye of reach or sword and blunder depending on my situation

as for skins.
Sword: Ferryman or Legendary, they are just beautiful.

Pistol: Ebon or Silver blade. Iron sights and clean colors.

EoR: Silver Blade because I like it.

Blunderbuss: Ferryman, ita just great looking.

Skin I want. Singular. Midnight Blunderbuss. It's the only weapon I dont have access too. I dont own the banana weapons but they are hideous.

PvE

• Weapon 1: Cutlass; don't bring a gun to a skelly fight
• Weapon 2: Flintlock; some skellies have kegs though

PvP

• Weapon 1: Flintlock or Eye of Reach; damage from a distance
• Weapon 2: Blunderbuss; crowd control & creating distance

Favourite weapon skins (That I have)

• All weapons: I use Sailor because I keep it simple lol. I try to buy every EoR & cycle through those occasionally.

Favourite Weapon skins (That I don't have):

• All weapons: Legendary set. I'm not a fan of the clothing, but man do those weapons look mean. I doubt I'll be able to guilt or coerce my friends into waiting through enough pre-game lobbies to earn them.

Blunder/Snipe for pvp or Sword/Snipe if I'm forced and for pve

Sword- Ferryman because it's cool
Pistol- Ruffian Sea Dog because it's cool and the ads accuracy is perfect
Snipe- Grand Admiral because it's cool and doesn't fill up the screen much
Blunder- Nightshine Parrot because ads accuracy and screen obstructions don't matter with the blunder and it looks cool.

I use Triumphant Sea Dog Cutlass, I use sword because of sword dash, and blocking other people's sword attacks.
And Triumphant Sea Dog Eye of Reach, It's a cool skin and a skill based weapon.

Weapons I use and why

Cutlass: it's low-skill and spammy, but the lunge is useful for boarding

Eye of Reach: useful for long-range, ship-to-ship engagements and almost as useful for defending holes in the bottom deck of an enemy ship

Favourite weapon skins (That I have)

Cutlass: I use Deep Ocean Crawler because the blunt, cartoonish look is funny.

Flintlock: I use Mercenary because the sight on it is helpful for aiming.

Blunderbuss: I use Rogue Sea Dog because its hexagonal design looks clean while still helping with aiming.

Eye of Reach: I use Launch Crew because it's exclusive to old players, the green tint on the scope is also slightly better at seeing through the fog.

My favorite load out is sword pistol because it gives me good close to mid range coverage. I also have used this for as long as I've played and I started at the end of hungering deep.
My favorite skins are the triumphant sea dog skins because I feel like unlocking them is an achievement. I'm working on the ship (I know it wasn't part of the post, but I think it's a good place to share) I like that the ship tells all the players that sea you that you pvp a lot and it makes them think twice before attacking you. p.s @FaceYourDemon if it's the victorious blunder your talking about it's still available.

@faceyourdemon the legendary sea dog title gives it to you

@faceyourdemon is link my source but I don't think it is allowed

@faceyourdemon maybe we can squad up later I'm working on triumphant sea dog stuff. I'm at work right now though

@faceyourdemon I'll be on a little later than that. I'm going to add real quick though

Sword of souls, and either (original) Bone Crusher or Admiral flintlock.

If I use a blunderbuss its usually the Ashen dragon now but Admiral or Wild Rose sometimes

EoR is usually launch crew. I like to flex lol.

These mostly go with my Aesthetic 🤷🏽‍♀️🧜‍♀️
