Ever since I watched your first videos back in the day About the pistol, I've never really gone from that. I love using the pistol, especially with my Ferryman skin on it.
I think a better place to try accuracy is on dagger tooth, there is a target at the weaponsmiths and you have a clear line of sight all the way from the reapers table so you can test accuracy at different ranges
Still using my mercenary pistol after all these years. Can’t wait to see similar designs in the future tho! I’d love to see one similar to the gold leaf one!
Great advice. I prefer to hipfire pistol, it’s quicker and comes out dead center much like when you aim down. Also you can sprint cancel into ads immediately after you shoot to trigger a faster reload animation. Speaking about close range specifically you can shoot a lot quicker than most other guns. Also with one blunders not being a thing you can get up close and barrel stuff them to make sure you’re more likely to hit. Be careful if they have a sword though. Swords are really strong and if you’re up close and miss you are cooked!
there is an obvious aim cone with hipfire, if you test it. It's narrow enough to still be useful at close/midrange But for shooting between ships it's obviously not ideal The trigger delay for sighting in is horrible, I admit, and I tend to hipfire as well
I love the angler fish pistol when it comes to design as well as combat. The lamp on it works as a solid iron sight and it's relatively slick. The only downside (that I don't mind very much) is the glow of it.
The Sawbones pistol is quite nice too, very slim with a practically pinpoint accurate sight. But it's sadly an Emporium item. But great video! Good to see old outdated information get updated.
I always used the legendary spirit pistol just because it's the one I have the most practice on, as my crewmates ran Athena all when I was new so it was the coolest thing I had for a while
I am hoping they take another look at double-barrel pistol. I really wanted it as a viable alternative to pistol, but it seems only good for killing phantoms.
i wish they would bring the pistol accuracy at range back to it's former glory, it's ridiculous how much accuracy the bullets lose after like 5 meters. i miss being able to hipfire a guy from across a galleon length not having to worry the bullet won't go where i shot
Bro deserves more attention for making actually useful videos. Maybe try making a new account and doing the same thing but for more popular games? I bet it’ll really get popular
Also the obsidian and the silver blade cannons are diamonds to aim with instead of rings they are also skinnier if your into that can make it easier to track cannons with
Which is honestly quite some nonsense as you have no way to range a ship and to predict the distance of each ring. It's been popularized by "tutorial youtubers" but it's never put into practice. Your best choice is a cannon with the smallest view obstruction, thin and short as possible.
@@capofantasma97 I will agree and disagree with you may not be able to accurately at far ranges range your shots with certainty on the rings or the diamonds I do agree with RUclipsrs that the rings do serve as a guide lines in aiming at a mid to close range barrage and can give you just a lil bit of an advantage compared to someone using smaller bulkier or fun cannons smallest is not always the best either cus some short cannons fat asf I prefer slimmest is so can easily move the cannon down or out of my way to get lead on the shot it’s all personal preference at end of the day, was using the sunken cannons partly to get my PvP curses awhile back
Most streamers and hg players won't admit it, but I'm willing to bet most of them use crosshairs. U can get overlays from steam, some monitors come with them built in, u can even use stickers that look like crosshairs. I think Rare should make it even for all and give an optional/customizable crosshair that can be turned off for those who want max immersion. If u oppose, please explain to me why.
Fully agree, it's literally impossible to stop people from using some form of crosshair because most methods are undetectable. Might as well add it as an option so that everyone has the opportunity to use one. Every single monitor I've owned in the last 10 years has had the option of a crosshair and since it's added in after receiving visual input your PC/console doesn't know it's there.
I'm hoping that when they move it they put a Ashen Chest of Legends on the blade so that there is still a reason to go after besides capturing and the sword
Looking at how it's been moved around since S9 it's an easy guess: FoF -> FotD - FloF -> FoF -> BB. Since we aren't getting a new world event it will most llikely end up at the FotD and then the FloF if we don't get a new world event in S15
Love these vids! Don't believe the bullshit or myths from others. If you don't know how something works then take some time test it empirically to be 100% sure.
It's not a buff, it's just a fix for some of the skins. Which is quite irrelevant when you can use a crosshair overlay software (e.g. Custom Crosshair for the Win+G overlay) as well. Thin skins with minimal obstruction of barrel + hammer are still the best even if they shoot higher, especially because they do so, giving more view of the target, like the Stonebark skin and its variant.
@@Icasus it's not an improvement to aiming because skins are just cosmetic, this is just a fix to help you use reference points on some skins for aiming. Which is not even that important if you know that all weapons fire at the exact center of the screen. You can use anything you want as a reference point. It's not cheating to use an overlay, you're not injecting anything and Microsoft itself made the Win+G overlay, so you can complain to the publisher of Sea of Thieves if you think that's a cheat. Even a speck of dust or a fingerprint at the center of the screen would be cheating then.
Things like this would never even cross my mind. A great example of why your videos are indispensable!
Facts! He's easy to listen to. He says lot of words, But, he's not over hype and annoying. His backing tacks are always oddly soothing too.
I had no idea my (or any) pistol was considered meta. I just use the mercenary pistol because it goes well with my clothes haha.
Ever since I watched your first videos back in the day About the pistol, I've never really gone from that. I love using the pistol, especially with my Ferryman skin on it.
Pistol wasn't buffed, it was finally fixed.
Exactly perfect
Fact 👍👍
wait it was broke?
Yup, only merc pistol was viable for me. Switched to daggers as alt range after update.
@@Brenden_Simpson try watching the video lol

Good man Phuzzy revisiting old footage and updating it.
Surprised to not see the Sawbones or Silver Sepulchre pistols mentioned as they have two of the cleanest and most accurate sights in the game.
The order of souls pistol seems to work well now too

But for shooting between ships it's obviously not ideal

Me for the first 5 minutes watching the bullet hole that's part of the target thinking "wow, these guns all have pretty consistent and bad offset".
I love the angler fish pistol when it comes to design as well as combat. The lamp on it works as a solid iron sight and it's relatively slick. The only downside (that I don't mind very much) is the glow of it.
Even if I already have a pistol that I always use, i would love to see a more detailed video. I like seeing comparisons of guns in sot. :3
good to see that the ghost pistol was indeed finally fixed and I wasn't just getting super lucky with it, it used to shoot way above the sight area
The Sawbones pistol is quite nice too, very slim with a practically pinpoint accurate sight. But it's sadly an Emporium item.
But great video! Good to see old outdated information get updated.
Being someone who preordered on PS5, i got them Ruby Viper pistol which is the Ebon Family's newest member
Jealous. Envious. That pistol looks so good. I use the ruby stinger cutlass. I'd kill to have that pistol.
New SoT player here, I picked the Ruffian Pistol right off the bat and had no idea.
I just liked the design.
Proof once again that phuzzy is a PirateLegend™️ 😂 bro knows all the obscure spots
Another honorable mention ( for accuracy) would be the kraken family of pistols
I always used the legendary spirit pistol just because it's the one I have the most practice on, as my crewmates ran Athena all when I was new so it was the coolest thing I had for a while
I never stopped using the sailor pistol no skins really called to me until the golden leaf pistol came out now that one is my all time favorite
I always run sword and pistol but I use the pirate legend pistol just cos I love the design
I am hoping they take another look at double-barrel pistol. I really wanted it as a viable alternative to pistol, but it seems only good for killing phantoms.
personally i use the fates of fortune flintlock i feel like it has a really good aim.
I’m not a big flintlock user but I’m glad they gave the OG pistol some attention
i wish they would bring the pistol accuracy at range back to it's former glory, it's ridiculous how much accuracy the bullets lose after like 5 meters.
i miss being able to hipfire a guy from across a galleon length not having to worry the bullet won't go where i shot
Phuzzy. Try the cartographers pistol. Best sight in game. Also best design imo
YO I GOTTA SAY, the chess set pistol imo feels and looks smaller than any other pistol. It's helped me aim significantly
imagine phuzzybond but he animation cancels the drawback after shooting by double tapping swap or stow
Did they do this to the double pistol too? Bc i got an emporium skin without a sight and the bullet goes A LOT higher than it should
This literally should have been how it was at launch. Insane that it took almost 7 years to do it right.
what are your thoughts on the wild rose pistol ?
it's very accurate now
When I use pistol, I go FoF pistol almost 100% of the time.
Bro deserves more attention for making actually useful videos. Maybe try making a new account and doing the same thing but for more popular games? I bet it’ll really get popular
The mercenary and the kraken pistols to me were the only ones that had good aim sights.
I really don't like how the nerfed the blunderbuss when that they added the man o war and the blundie can really help during gameplay on there
Traps are going to make the Blunderbuss feel useless.
One-shot weapons have no business being in any PvP game
@@PhuzzyBond That sucks
@@kenesys8713 except bolt action headshots
@@darppy6985 snipers are especially overpowered in games like TF2 and Overwatch. Very difficult to balance same with shotguns

Am I high or can people see what's being zoomed in on here? I paused the video each time and couldn't figure out where the shots landed.
You can see a dent in the Target, where the bullet hits. Slightly hard to spot but once you see it you will always be able to locate it.
Phuzzy tutorials are the best.
bro, u did 5 min video about ads fix that they mentioned in one of patch notes
Interesting, shame they didn't just normalize all the trajectories though.
is your brightness at 10000%? 1:54

Phuzzy the Pistol Lord
this is such a great change
Where do you think the chest of fortune will be during season 14?
I’m hoping that it’ll go back to the FOF. It seems most likely
It either will stay on the Burning Blade for another season, or go back to FoF
I'm hoping that when they move it they put a Ashen Chest of Legends on the blade so that there is still a reason to go after besides capturing and the sword
Fort of the damned

still love the inky kraken set
How about the iron turtle pistol?
Such a great change
Because hit reg! Most experienced players hate running pistols bc hitreg lol
Love these vids! Don't believe the bullshit or myths from others. If you don't know how something works then take some time test it empirically to be 100% sure.
I thought "park the ship closer" throughout the whole video...
I often use the banana hammer
Nice thanks for the explainig
I WAS BEGGING FOR THAT
I love your Sea of Science videos ^_^
I use the old angler fish pistol lol
that is huge!!
so the reason no one else uses double barrel is because its big?
Anyone notice the iron sight on the Hunter pistol?
No way, I use the Ferryman pistol. Best in the game imo.
took them only what, 6 years
I use the halo skin pistol
hi phuzzybond
I ain't play this game anymore. all my friends moved on and I aint cut out for the solo sloopers life 😭😭😭😭😭
Now I can finally kill someone with just the pistol because 2 guns is evil. Also pls how do I escape spawn camps like you
The fotd cow... just got buffed and no one is talking about it
very nice
I FUCKING KNEW IT
How/why do skins even affect pistols? Wtf
Unreal engine 4 is a funny engine I'm guessing
I think it's the aiming point
Me who uses all sailor skins:👁️👄👁️
PHuzzt help. I left the disxord server and cannot get back in
Crosshair...
Not really a buff it just work like it should be. Anyway no one talk about it cuz ppl that are skill in pvp just hip fire it just better
I put a small piece of round tape on the center of the screen to mark center so i can use whatever gun i want
pistol gang!
Need to know about Dark Adventurer pistol before I spend 5 mil on it lol
It looks so good but I always assumed the sights would be trash
I use the aim dot generated by my monitor, hahahahaha

right.... "buffed"
''most people'' I think you vastly overestimate how many meta slaves play the game
💯👍
Hope my Ferry Pistol isn’t adjusted too much lol, after using something for so long you kinda get used to it
No one is talking about it because nobody plays this game xD
Last!
Now they have to fix double barrel trajectory and the range or less its a useless shit horrible gun for pvp in specially
clickbait
And for everyone in pvp mode this weapon design is surprisingly...... GARBAGE
Game has zero depth, we really talking about cosmetics?
bad take

No one cares, every good player has his crosshair in his head
