Just wanted everyone's input on what weapons you all use? im debating between sword and eor or blunder and eor. i use sword now and dominate but people keep saying switch to double gun. which combo do you guys use? what combo would you recommend for arena pvp?
PVP weapon combos
sword and sniper most of the time sailing around or when it fights
sword and blunder for PVE heavy activities it's just way more efficient for bosses and skellies
I feel naked without a sword for lunging and such I don't like double gunning at all. I feel self forcing improvement with the sniper makes the sword and sniper combo the most overall useful combo
If you can get the consistent accuracy double guns will do you well but you gotta get yourself to that point which takes a lot of practice
I just really don't like not being able to use the sword as a tool
Situational.
I like to keep a sword on me at all times but will do the occasional double gun.
Offense/boarding: I like to have sword and eye of reach since I know that I'll probably be knocked off and can use eye in the water (blunderbust is useless in water)
Defending: I like to use blunder to knock boarders off of the ship while on ladder.
The pistol is great for both situations also as it's useful in water still and is the quickest shot from the hip meaning it fires the quickest once loaded/swapped to so you can make use of it while they're reloading. Which you can sword them, force them to swap back to sword to block, back up and let them reload and shoot them.
heres a little rundown:
Sword is easy to use, if you aren't that experience or dont want to spend alot of time getting better, use it.Blunder sword i do not recommend, as it makes you lopsided to only close range.
Sword sniper is the most balanced combo, allowing close and longe range, as well as sword lunging giving you extra mobility.
Blunder Sniper. If you are consistent enough to hit most of your shots, and put in some time to understand what good movement is against different playstyles, blunder snipe is the most powerful loadout in the game.
Pistol Snipe. NOT recommended. Unless you're willing to tdm alot to work on making sure you almost always hit. This loadout also is affected the most by hitreg. It works well in 1v1, but in 2v1 or 4v1, it becomes very difficult, it 100% can be done, just not easily.
Sword pistol is similar to sword sniper.
Blunder Pistol is pointless, use sword. Unless you're feeling wacky.
@turkaspy i usually board ships, and when im using double gun i get sword stormed. i want to use blunder eor. what should i do when boarding to prevent this?
Does not matter what you use, if the game does not want you to win, you wont.
I won so many battles I never expected to win.
And lost too many battles I absolutely not wanted to lose.
Fresh today was the last one of the latter.I am so toxic now I can barely resist logging in and out on open galleon to find one on the open sea's... with kegs in the crows and just bomb the hell out of them.
" Why are SoThieves players so toxic? "
Cause this game MAKES toxic.Kraken on me on my lvl.5 Athena Emissary yeah nice, I want to press on a button and the whole Earth explodes - this is how I feel right now.

use a sword to counter the sword lords and blunder the hell out of them
@rtl-saint Whatever fits your PvP style and whatever fits the situation you’re in best. I can guarantee you that whatever you chose when in a PvP battle, it’s wrong! I can’t even count how many times I’ve received trash messages afterward point out my weapon choices were wrong. Haha. “Sword Spammer” “Blunderbot” “Double-Gun Trash” Hahaha... makes me laugh all the time there doesn’t seem to be a correct load out when I PvP. Pick what fits you and what you have fun with!
@promotordj haha i better just stay with sword then. if it aint broke dont fix it. i just dont want to be holding myself back if i can flourish with blunder eor
@rtl-saint So simplest thing is to use blunder first to knock backwards people and finish off with EoR. Regardless how little damage blunder will do EoR will finish off.
For super close combat blunder with pistol because they both reload super fast.
On the end, perfect combination is whichever you feel most comfortable with , try many have fun and pick one you good with.@jadescissors32 when boarding and gettind 1v2, 1v3 and 1v4 can anything fight a sword storm except sword?

Yes, bunny hop hell out of there :)
You need to keep out of range of swords, so bunny hop like your life depends on it.
When you see in Arena people bunny hoping on rails, thats training.@rtl-saint said in PVP weapon combos:
@closinghare208 how well does sword eor fare against top level players?
eor like pistol uses two shots to kill and sword can stun if you but rush them and strike before they can get a bullet off
@rtl-saint Blunder snipe is possible, though the reg needs to be on your side. its all about movement. Staying away from the swords parcouring your way around the boat. Sword is the easiest to fight the sword tornado.
I prefer cutlass/flintlock as my combo - the former offers versatility and mobility while the latter offers balance at virtually any range.
It's a Jack of all trades, but master of none kind of setup.
Other than that, ALWAYS carry bombs when in combat - firebombs for skellies; blunderbombs for pirates; gunpowder barrels for ships.
Sometimes I'll swap the flintlock out for a blunderbuss if I know I'm going to need it - usually against tougher skellies, for ship defense, etc.
As for the EoR, I rarely use it because I'm terrible at aiming with it (probably due to my maxed out sensitivity settings), despite its damage output. It also happens to be slower than the flintlock at both aiming and reloading, so... Yeah.

Dude just blunder/firebomb the ladder on the other side as u approach
@rtl-saint if you're going to board other ships, especially Galleons with double gun equipt, then keep a finger ready on that grenade button, especially with blunderbombs to help disperse those players. Personally I've never had much luck with double guns and have gravitated towards sword/pistol as my primary combo, this is probably not the most powerful combo but it suits my play style and skill level quite well.
