Dragon's Breath Blunderbuss

  • So for those unaware, "Dragon's Breath Ammunition" is a special type of incendiary shell used in shotguns that when fired, can ignite the target.

    There's a lot of fire theming in the game already, and even a special fire weapon, so I feel like a fire blunderbuss would fit perfectly. For balancing purposes, I imagine it could be weaker than a normal blunderbuss with less knockback, while letting fire damage do most of the work. Perhaps you could claim it as a reward for completing some sort of upgraded Ashen Lord fight? Though that would be another suggestion lol.

  • @bar00kablast Use fire bombs and shoot your blunderbuss; same effect with existing tools achieved.

  • @metal-ravage eh, not really. Also not as cool.

  • "Ammunition"
    the key word here. So if you add one..you add others.

  • @burnbacon I'm not sure what your point is here? Clarification would be appreciated.

  • Firebombs exist, black powder blow darts exist.

    It also can't be a reward for a fight. Reward weapons are all held items. You cannot stow any of them. You can't have something for a weapon you keep permanently on you that would give you an advantage.

    Not sure why you would want to add "Ammo" types to a game like this.

    "Dragon's Breath Ammunition" is a special type of incendiary shell used in shotguns that when fired

    Blunderbuss isnt your typical shotgun though, it doesnt use Shells so...unless they change it and such this doesnt make sense to add.

    Unless your wanting a new "weapon" type that does this...Oh wait, we have the Skull that breaths Fire...

    Perhaps you could claim it as a reward for completing some sort of upgraded Ashen Lord fight?

    As said here.

    and you wanting it to do Fire damage, and like all fire items in game atm, they set everything ablaze. So...missing your shots or even hitting would set your own ship on fire. :/

    I don't. Adding ammo types for guns in this game is a terrible idea, at least in my opinion. I made it pretty clear that this would be a special held item, like the Trident or Blade of Souls.

    I'm aware the blunderbuss doesn't use shells. I was simply letting people know what the actual real life equivalent was. The Dragon's Breath blunderbuss could use magic for all I care, it's very possible within the Sea of Thieves.

    I think that's a great idea, it would add some more risk to using a powerful weapon like this. Thank you for your suggestion :)

  • @potatosord I'm aware that reward items are held items, like the Blade of Souls or Ashen Winds Skull. That's... kinda the point of this gun...

    It obviously wouldn't be something that you can just keep on you and stow in your inventory, that would be too overpowered. Rather it would work like every other "special weapon" in the game, simply being a "loot" item that can be used to deal damage.
