Sea of thieves should eliminate the feature to equip 2 guns at once! The game should only allow a sword and one gun! This is a pirate game! If you want to shoot then go play call of duty! Double gunners kinda ruin the game and if the crew is good then you’re done lol this feature will allow more sword fighting and it makes sense since it is a pirate game. One more thing we should be able to save custom outfits like you can in red dead 2! That way when I feel like changing I don’t have to do the whole shabang! I’m sure a lot of players would agree to the mandatory sword at all times!
Eliminate Double Gunners, Save custom outfits
@agent-d51 I wouldn't be against double gunning so much if we could double melee but as it is right now PvP just doesn't interest me, ship combat is all about boarding and dropping the anchor and player combat is all about tagging them with the EoR and then running up and blunderbuss them in the face.
And people wonder why I run from most fights

@sailorkek sorry my friend but I sink ships all day! It’s the reason why I play. It’s just the double gunning especially with PC players is annoying. I feel like if you want to shoot they have other games for that! Pirates use swords and fight man to man lol it should be like that.
Oh I've no problem with sinking ships, but double gunning is in the same vein as players who will keep trying to shoot themselves over in a cannon, anchor you and try to spawn kill you.
As you've said this is a pirate game, ships should be pressed against on another whilst the crews battle it out with cutlass and pistol but noone wants that genuine pirate experience, its all about the strats to them and it spoils it for everyone.Sea of thieves should eliminate the feature to equip 2 guns at once!
Why
The game should only allow a sword and one gun! This is a pirate game!
No. Most pirates had multiple guns on them to resort to before swapping to melee. Look at Blackbeard, the most infamous pirate to name. Bro had like 12 pistols on him at all times. Basing your argument off of real life pirates isn't always a good example.
"Remember, switching to your pistol is always faster than reloading"Double gunners kinda ruin the game and if the crew is good then you’re done lol
So ruin everyone else's time and delete an entire playstyle because you suck at countering it? Sorry man but there's always a way to get around someone else's plays. Tools not rules.
this feature will allow more sword fighting
Sword combat is super janky if you have more than 50 ping. I'll pass on that one.
we should be able to save custom outfits
This one, I'm all for, but this has already been suggested multiple times in the recent history...
@agent-d51 I'll save #986 to "lul" in this thread if it isn't locked before then. Check dms, Mr. chibi Goku pfp.
I’m sorry, I didn’t realise a game with krakens, megalodons and a literal afterlife was ‘realistic’ in any way.
No, leave double gunning, it’s a choice. It has advantages and disadvantages.
Pros:- Lots of Damage output (it you can aim)
Cons: - Limited ammo capacity makes island fighting harder
- Limited ammo capacity means they need to get to the ammo box
- No way to block swords
Aye! for saving custom outfits, though
Also, don’t respond to me if you are gonna cry, “Go get a life” and “1v1 me, you’ll get clapped”. It’s childish and immature. So, keep that in mind if you wish to respond.
Edit: Don't tell people to get a life when you have 132 days on Sea of Thieves alone.
- Lots of Damage output (it you can aim)
"If the crew is good", you would be "done" regardless if they double gun or not...
At most maybe the animation cancel cheese could be "fixed" (for all weapons), but tbh even that doesn't seem necessary.
I feel like if you want to sword spam like a zombie, you also have other games you can play, since you are clearly the one that can't handle double guns in a fictional "pirate" game and can't adapt.
Also, hard pass on savable custom outfits, that would waist development resources on something that is not pirate emporium content - unless if they sell save slots, then I'm all for it.
@agent-d51 I'm sorry is this an argument for realism in a fantasy video game...
DG is a unique playstyle that you cannot get in any other game and by you comparing it to COD shows you really have never even given it a shot. There are advantages to sword over DG in tight environments example: in the captain quarter of a galleon.
I honestly wouldn't care if they would or would not make the sword mandatory, as I don't typically double-gun myself.
That said, removing it will limit choice and combat variety, but also somewhat help with leveling the playing field between platforms, so it's a tough decision to make, IMO. Regardless of whether Rare implements it or not, I think there will always be a few pirates who are going to be upset with the decision. For that reason, I think Rare is most likely to stick with the status quo.

@sailorkek how would double melee even work? you swap between 2 swords...
Dual wield the cutlass, increase the hit streak from 3 to 4-6, maybe negate the sword dash for a spin attack.
@googoodan said in Eliminate Double Gunners, Save custom outfits:
Blackbeard was rumored to carry 9 guns at a time.
All of which were pistols, not blunderbuss and snipers. I'd be fine with double gun pistol or dual wielded pistol but think the sword should be considered essential

If u want more sword fights go play chivalry
What a silly and uncinstructive thing to say, why even say it at all?

Unfortunately too many streamers use double gun and you know they would complain if things were to change.
Not a four year player making statements like a 3 week player 💀
I'm genuinely not sure what distance you were going to gain from players that have tried all weapon combinations and have their own preferences. If you don't know how to bear a double gunner, you have a lot more to work on with yourself/your crew in PvP than doing some dinky little voyages.
Outfit presets have been, and still are a heavily requested feature, and we all can agree on that.
