The throwing knife and sword combo is so goofy and I love it running around with the mobility of the sword and just chucking knives is so fun
"You may have mastered the bullet time, but I have mastered the blades"
The only downside with that is enemy pirates can deflect the throwing knives just by blocking with the sword
@@gustof4thson896but against double gunners, no blocking lol
@@bilbotook1810 Im usually the common player that has a gun and a sword.
Throwing knives are hilariously fun, and you can use them to delay people from dropping your anchor.
I haven’t watched the vid but it’s the blunderbuss
im sure that sniper + bb
@@AntoninoChiguretto blunder sword * blunder sniper has some skill, ppl that use blunder and sword are lazy to actually think and predict they just want you dead that why they using that combo
Blunder sword has no range so is completely useless against anyone with any ranged weapon
@@ThePotoo I’m talking about blunder snipe cause sword is for losers
@@EndlessWarV blunder sword is ass
I think a valuable datapoint missed in the video would be: with the double barrel, the difference in time to kill if you fire once, reload the one bullet, then use a charged attack, instead of using the charged attack first, double reloading, then firing once - since the reload is longer when reloading both barrels. I'm not sure this would meaningfully change anything about its placement in the rankings of all weapons, though.
Additionally, I think the conclusion that effectively nothing has changed with the meta is good for the game, old guides from before the new weapons were added are still good advice, despite lacking situational data, and returning players won't be too shaken off from what they know.
Run sword and knives, become a ninja pirate as God and Anime intend.
One thing also i actually figured out tonight is if you fire the double barrel sprint it cancels the load animation for the second shot, allowing for an instant shot. There is also a very wonky yet inconsistent animation cancel for reloading both shots yet the animation for the reload only shows one. Things I’ve noticed when testing with double barrel eye of reach.
You are a very very smart man
Reminder: use what you have fun with! Sure, you may lose fights, but at the end of the day, it’s a game and you can play however you like. Don’t let other pirates wear you down.
I think the throwing knife is one of the best weapons due to its versatility as it has muiltiple uses and the stab can be a good finisher once you weaken your enemy
**laughing while sword blocking**
in what scenario do you get someone below 14 hp
@@knyt0 you almost always get multiple stabs in because it stuns them
As a singular weapon it's probably the most versatile, having a place at all but long ranges. However, since you can equip two weapons it becomes less strong.
Your... Your knife grows??
May I see it?
Genuinely get excited when you upload pls dont stop!
Great video, thank you for putting in the effort of gathering all the data!
Having a table or something to show the times to kill or just having them on the screen would help a lot. It's kind of hard to follow with you just saying the numbers with no immediate comparison
I love the video and all the stats. Now give me a chart so I can see them all arranged in order.😂
I do wish you would share a little about use case as pistol sniper is great for all ranges but requires accurate aim, while blunder sword is the most forgiving for aim but is only close range.
I had no idea the pistol was THAT much faster than eye of reach I thought it was rather minimal
The throwing knife throw or heavy attack can be used to silent board guys
I haven't watched the video and I can telll you it's the blunder bass is newbie friendly they can do mistakes and still not get punished and I'm not talking for the new players that doesn't understand the shotgun mechanics if they blunder snipe you that not the ppl I'm talking about , this thing has knock back and can one shot you or leave you with 20 health difficult to miss when they can still hit your shadow and get destroyed by it just op
Any combination with sword is the best, due to the block, the dash and the hopping.
---->.
no lol
I loved to rock the Eye of Reach + Cutlass but i always loved Pistols too but never felt they matched the Sword but now i can go Pistol + Knife for some fun and variety!
Spy tf2
@@collinkaufman2316 never played TF2 but i got the reference hahahaha specially fitting for the devious actions of a purate that likes to hide on people's ship
I am pretty accurate with the throwing knives and they are so fun but for actual PvP I prefer the blunderbuss unfortunately as it’s too efficient to pass up in my opinion.
I like the double barrel for that one extra bullet when im fighting skeletons or phantoms
I think knife+sniper is a good mix for those that can't deside what weapon to pair with the eye of reach.
Unless they already patched out the animation cancel for knife, that’s the fastest kill period, outside of a one shot. Sterling has a video up showcasing the charged attack, to instant throw.
You should've included sprint cancelling and X cancelling reload times and ttks to see how big of a difference it makes. I'll probably try myself tbh
I do the sniper and pistol combo, but I’ve been using the knives as it’s a new weapon lol
Oh no. The double shot+sword swipe reminds me of pre-nerfed Eye of Reach when everyone went Sword+EoR for the shot+swipe.
trident/keg is my go-to loadout
so far i had several times when using the double barrel pistol where i skipped the charge animation and still shot both shots more or less consistently like 3/5 times when it skipped the animation. got no clue what does making the animation skip possible but when someone finds a way to skip it every time it could be the new tryhard double gun weapon
I don't know how to trigger it either but sometimes you can run while charging the knife
It is important to note though that most pve enemies still die from 1 bullet from both the double barrel pistol and the normal pistol, and its. increased ammo capacity and not really reload time between the first and second shot makes it a good bet for taking out things like skeletons and phantoms. Personally, I like using the double barrel when I'm doing quests on islands, and switching to the single barrel when I encounter other crews.
Well, double pistol might be the worst of all the weapons, but it's hell of a fun to use, so im not gonna switch it
I really think the man reason for that is the fact that it has quite literally no strengths. Why is 2 barrels even attractive if you still have to swap to kill someone. Should have made it more of a counter to the blunder imo, bc literally nothing counters that gun, and nothing has ever. Due to the fact that nobody runs it with a melee. And it sucks that rare most likely intends to keep it like this.
@@bx2mikii , i agree, but it's useful against pve. + again, i just like the concept of it, so yeah, funny gun go pew-pew
@@user-eb8cy9fx9f I do agree with you, it is very useful pve, so far with my experiences, I feel that everytime I see an enemy now I have to swap off of it tho. It looks cool as hell tho. Hopefully more skins come soon.
@@bx2mikii imo, there is a big strength to me. Im bad at aiming, and I get a quick second chance. its like pistol with training wheels
@@nikoisland6731 I really cant argue with that man. I respect it. :) Glad we all feel free to put our input.
I think it was cool for them to make the throwing knife count as a regular knife as well.
Is there a sheet with this data?
Best loadout is sword and flintlock bc mobility, independence from amo, twohits with good aim and the short reload time of the pistol and most of all the respect you recieve, using that loadout
Idk if you're on console but a good PC player is gonna bop you with a sniper blunder no matter your mobility. And I've been using sword pistol for two years now and have only been told I should switch to blunder sniper, I've never had someone respect me more because I killed them with pistol sword 🤣🤣🤣 if anything sweats will shit on you more cause you're not using meta 🤣🤣
I would love to see this data on a spreadsheet or something like that. Maybe it's on the discord?
I will look into getting this out in an info graphic or spread sheet!
What is that sword spin emote at the beginning? I’ve been trying to find it
I believe it's the Showboater!
@@AShinyRay I finally found it. Thank you so much for the help
are you and blubber dropping your new podcast on the season soon?
I think so!
Additional obvious but situationally significant point - the sword and knives are capable of hitting multiple targets with a single attack so are **technically** able to deal extra damage in those incredibly rare cases
Honestly I agree that the DB pistol is quite underwhelming. I thing just a small buff would balance it nicely.
It's the throwing knife the shanking abilitiy is w
Quick answer: the best weapon is the one you like the most.
For pve I love to use the double barrel with the blunderbuss, but for pvp it's still the good ol' cutlass and blunderbuss combo
what do you do when your opponent has a eye of reach
@@spookysushi4079 Nothing becouse pve enemies don't have the eye of reach, and for the cutlass blunderbuss combo I just run away and force them to come to me if they want to fight
Imagine how cool this video would have been if we had another 8 or so weapons to compare with.
Pistol Sniper!! Lets goooo!
Add a bandolier and slings.
Then lemme cycle thru as many weapons as I want, up to one of each type…
blunder sniper or pistol sniper best
Kinda wish the double barrel pistol had both side ready to ahoot instead of one side as it kinda defeats the purpose of the second barrel by having to essentially reload by coking the second shot why not have it be two trigger pulls or hold down the trigger for both as well as making it have a longer reload so its balanced a bit but i need to know the best sails i can get as a ps5 player to be able to see bc my ass is blind rn
Sword in flintlock feels like a good combo
That's what I want to use, but the pistols hit reg is nasty.
Eye of Reach & Blunderbuss. Or if you are flex/bildge you could swap the sniper or blunder for a sword depending on your team and the enemies skill at boarding. The meta hasn’t changed since anniversary update lmfao. These new weapons have too much jank to be of decent use.
does the throwing knifes stabbing break though the sword combo? does one get prioritized or do they both do dmg?
I didn't test this, that's something to I need to look into.
It's unfortunate that both new weapons don't have the speed to keep up with the more surface-level and basic older weapons.
ryden est dans le déni
DOUBLE SWORD FTW
honestly, i feel like the eor is kinda jank. its just big, long pistol
I would like if they would nerf sniper and blunder, sniper should do dmg like pistol not more and blunder shouldn't one kill so that we see more weapon combinations
blunderbuss+sniper.
i just wish double gun was back man
i miss it
Tf? It never left.
it feels really bad when u cant skip the ugly clunky animations
@sSteppingStones you're not suppose to skip the animations, why can't the double gunning community not use exploits in pvp to win fights? Then when they try to bring the double gunning to a balanced level yall literally spend hours just trying to figure out how to exploit quick swapping just to have an advantage over other players. Yall literally just ruin the game because of your ego. 🤣🤣
The player with better aim will win. Not the one who is quickswapping.
It just means that we don't have to look at the ugly animation that makes the gunplay feel slow and clunky.
Also means we cant skeet people and that was really fun
All I can say is... bring me the cheese baby!
Maybe next time put the charts on the screen
I be usin da pistol and sword j cuz
Quick maths
Deadshot daiquiri
From my experience the best weapon is the one you can hit with.
Sword sniper
Flintlock/sword till I die
Sniper sword ftw, best of both worlds, ppl who get mad at sword are just mad ppl keep dodging there blunderboss with sword hops
Go watch high level HG and the various comp leagues like CSL and LOT. You’ll see exactly two weapons.
Blunder + sniper, yeah the meta hasn't changed, everyone playing that and some sworldlords playing sword...
I haven’t watched the video yet but it’s 100% sword
I think the sword is the best weapon it’s the most versatile
The best weapons are the ones you prefer
No that's not correct. The best combo is the throwing knives and the sword, because while everyone else is off partying and having premarital relations you mastered the blade.
Hi
double pistol would be ok if it did 45 dmg
Bold of you to assume I can aim.
Blunderbuss is best. Best combo is eye of reach and blunder and new weapons are really crappy and bad
No way
have not started the video, but the two new weapons are not it. they both take too long after your left click to fire to be useful in tdm
The cutlass also has unlimited use (bullets) and allows you to sword lunge through water. It is obviously the best overall weapon in the game.
I’m……….first I guess
Funnily enough, these weapons are consistently tested by that eternal variable:
Other people.
Also: the new weapons seem to suck for those who focus on the meta. I wonder if they are fun for everyone else?
Double barrel pistol is trash for pve and pvp, it has the worst bullet drop while having the worst damage, and bad reload speed, if it had better bullet drop than the normal pistol it would be usefull but it's just a downgrade from the normal pistol
@@biggreen8025Yeah rare should be ashamed with how they introduced it imo. For instance. Eye of Reach has always had stable damage, accuracy, and just been an all arounder. Blunderbuss, has always been a toss up, but still stupid viable. The ability to one shot someone with ONE bullet from ONE weapon, (not including the fact that you can also pick up knifes thrown as a 3rd weapon) is absolutely absurd on its own, but not to mention that, but you also get knockback, and 99% of the time, combo into something else to finish the enemy off quickly. The pistol has just been decent not good or bad id say. Now lets look at the double barrel. What scenario does it ever have a chance to shine? If they knew the meta was already shooting someone with one weapon, then finishing them with your other. Why? WHY?! Would they add a weapon that does the same damage as it's brother, harder falloff, slower reload, AND it has no interesting effects like an idk, the same knockback the shotgun has??? Like i dont think they used their brains when making this, because being locked behind a 2 second animation of having to CHARGE MY BULLETS THAT MAY DO 80 damage. When someone on my ship can just walk up and one shot me, or while im standing there like I'm lost, they can shoot me with an eye of reach and just kill me with whatever in that time. I don't get how this got past playtesting.
throwing knives are so clunky to use and massively outclassed by x-cancled pistol shots, db flintlock is just straightup useless. i feel like pvp needs more mechanics again to have a better and smoother flow as well as a higher skill ceiling. removing quickswitching just made the game feel way clunkier and even with new quickswitch (which is a lot slower than old qs but at least a bit faster than no qs) and the ability to sprint inbetween shots again it just doesn't feel that great. the new weapons are a massive letdown for me, as they are utterly useless against any competent player who knows how to pvp. rare needs to make things smoother and cleaner again, at least with comes tech.
Who is your target audience? Anyone sweaty enough to be are about frame data would obviously only care about animation cancelled frames
A microphone.
who are the 16 sad souls that disliked ?
the eye of reach really needs an ADS nerf. It does way too much damage to be fired as quickly as it can be at practically any range. It makes the flintlock practically useless.
I bet u use sword. double gun has seen enough nerfs the sniper is fine
just buff the flintlocks reload time
@@RedcubeYT The eye of reach is the only weapon that can reliably shoot between ships, therefore it will always be very good. Double gunning has been meta for years, and with the new weapons it is time for a change.
@@knyt0 In the video, ray talks about how you can shoot extremely quickly after equipping the Eye of Reach. The flintlock can't have high handling if the other weapons have faster time to fire.
@@translucentoreo cus it's fun sword is objectively better no one in my clan could ever beat me with sword cus I used to hard sweat with sword and you can still quick swap with it so you can just shit on everyone with that. Sniper is essentially but not in a way where it needs to be nerfed cus then naval is gonna be ass just ask sponge he'll tell you the same
I've only watched 10 secs but the best weapon is the one you're most comfortable with :v
No it's not, the blunder sniper combo is the best in the game and nothing else even compares to it
@@HellsSacrifice but if you're bad with it it sucks, are you stupid?
So blunderbuss is still meta, nice.
New weapons suck sadly
What's the point making a comparison video when everybody who actually plays the game knows blunder sniper is the number 1 go to for any sweaty player.
Technically Pistol and then Eye of Reach is better. Technically.
@AShinyRay no its not, you don't have knockback or a gun that can one shot you at close range. Plus with pistols ass hit reg you're going to notice your shots not hitting as much. On paper it might seem better the reality is blunder is the best weapon in the game and sniper blunder is the best combo. Doesn't matter what the stats say when this combo out performs everything else in the game and does it more consistently than the other weapons.
@@HellsSacrifice yeah, so you agree with what I said in the video
My favorite hobby is sword stunning double gunners. Your exploit is useless against sword. Git gud.
Carrying two guns isnt an exploit.
Quickswapping is, but I don’t quickswap and I double gun.
@@KonnyKhaos Then you use actual skill. It's the quick swap noobs I hunt
