OK so. tho its close to launch but.
Could we please get a little more weapon variety besides Cutlasses and Pistols?
I mean, not much for realism, but Pirates have used other weapons besides a common cutlass and pistols.
But I think it be a lot more fun if it had the following.
DLC maybe?

Ugh... You are gonna get reported for using such foul language!!
@zombie-p1ague Blunderbuss has been there awhile.
Sniper is a new thing - though teased since the announcement of the launch date.
@xxxedkenwayxxx now tell me they didn't have muskets what were able to shoot more accurately during that era?
muskets were available from 1521... piracy era was around the 16th century.
One would think if weapons were available, they were used.
And gameplay wise it adds variety.
Right now we have flintlock pistol, scoped rifle, blunderbuss, and sword. Plus cannons if you count those.
If they don't add anymore, would could be interesting is using magic to "enchant" them. Could do a bunch of different properties, not sure if it would go against their "a cutlass is just a cutlass" design though. I'd love more weapon variety but then you can only carry 2 weapons + a melee weapon at any time.
@tawpgun Like I stated multiple times, I would like to see different swords, like the Saber, falchion (Pure cutting), Rapier, Colichemarde (Pure thrusting), and maybe the Mortuary sword (Cut and thrust.) All of these have different move sets and different ways to use them.

I think there can't be DLCs because it's shared world and it's unfair to others if your purchases create any competitive advantage.
Other ideas are welcome, but DLCs no thanks.
@oneplum5515568 Well, it would be only unfair if the purchase would grant you an advantage. Otherwise, they can throw out a DLC imho.
@jcmdeadpool I think it's still unfair if they're balanced because some of the weapons are better for one guy than for others and if you know you are good at DLC weapon it's like forcing you to buy that.
But this is only my opinion and your opinion is important too :)
@oneplum5515568 Well, you don't know until you tried. WOuld be great if you can pick up a DLC weapon from a dead pirate, so you can use it until you get killed .D
