I would first like to preface this by saying that i know we dont have a balance now with our guns. Blunders bullet spread is way too fast which makes people treat it like a cutlas. the EOR is kinda just out there and the flintlock is fine i guess but overall there can be improvements. I just want to know what new weapons you want to see in the game. Personally i beleive that if we add more weapons we can have more counters to double gunning and other stuff. i kinda think of it like a class system rn and adding more weapons can diversify the gameplay making combat more enjoyable.
personally there are a lot of weapons i would love to see in the game. i would like to see a heavy hitting melee, with slow swing times and HIGH payoff. i can just imagine a burly character swinging an anchor or a boarding axe. I also think we need to be able to counter guns. I think a shield would be awesome many of you have seen me talk about this in mutiple threads but a shiled that could block a certain ammount of damage (it breaks afterwards) from the direction youe facing would be awesome. it would serve as a counter to all weapons when you need it the most. I also think we should be able to carry a cannon, maybe we could take them out of their stands and hold them up with a sling or something. you obviously have to reload it using canonballs you cant use ammo boxes at all to refil the canon, it also drastically slows you down (imagine carrying a chest) you can drop it too ( although it might be a good idea to prevent players from stealing somebody elses canon from their boat using a padlock or something) it would aslo have really high knockback for you and whoever you hit.
Please tell me your ideas for possible weapons or changes to the ones ive suggeste.
NEw weapon ideas.
I would like a cross bow or a bow to be added where we may collect the arrows that land on the floor if we reach them in a small amount of time. A poison gas or regular gas bomb would be really cool too. don't like the idea of carrying cannons or anchors though, makes no sense and no pirate ever used any of those things for obvious reasons.
@galactic-geek yeah BUUUT CARYYING A CANON IS AWESOME!!!! but alos the greates weight lifted by humans was around 6720 lbs while canons weigh about 3400 pounds. so its feasble for a body builder.
@red0demon0 well of course they didnt but it would still be awesome. i mean video games are a place where we determine the rules so its not like something being unrealistic is an issue. last time i checked skelletons cant walk without muscles buuut we still have them in game.
@galactic-geek how do you think a bayonet would work? i think maybe it might take up a slot i think. it would work great for the blunder lol (im kidding ) but the eye of reach with a bayonett is a good idea;
@fllw3rb0y i also get an idea for a new weapon and you might be surprised : a handgrapnel.
Let me explain, currently, when you are fightnint another boat, or if you are follow by one, you have two option to board them : jump on the bridge, by getting very very close or use a ladder.
But now players are experimented, they "hear" when someone is getting in board, and that's can lead to a statut quo.Let me introduce you the handgrapnel, that could allow you on a quite short distance to get into a boat without using a ladder. it can give you a lot of mobility but at a cost, it will remove one of your weapon, forcing you to choose carefully what you are going to take on secondary weapon: a shotgun ? if you're using it to get into a battle, ot a gun if you're using it to go away.
I think that adding it as a weapon make it balanced, i'm just still thiking about some mechanics. how will it work prepely ? For exemple, like widowmaker's grapnel on overwatch ? Or more like the grapnel if front of boat, but revesed ? Can you use it anywhere ? Or only by aiming certain spots ? Will you be able ot use it on island (that would be very cool if you're on old faithfull island or pluder valley, imagine yourself climbing for a riddle instead of running)
How would it work if you're aiming an ennemy ? Will it dommage him ? Pull you until you're near him ? ( i think it's the better choice).
What's more, adding that grappnel may be will make people use more pistols to counter it, because shotgun are too shorted range to get someone with that mobility, and sniper too zoomed.
What do you think of it ?
@galactic-geek i would have to agree maybe not on the cannons.
but the daggers, boarding axes, and smoke bombs would be awesome! m
maybe the dagger has no blocking capabilities, but has a quick attack for getting a lot of hits out.@fllw3rb0y yah, i can be very cool, i almost feel it like tomb raider pickaxe when she jump on a wall
