blunderbuss

[unborn tide]

we got a rifle and a pistol, why not add a shotgun that use special ammo(different from pistol and rifle one)

[lilac stag]

or maybe you just need to load multiple rounds?

[lusty lichen]

This would make a great survial gun for further in the woods/riverlands if you could like break up rocks and use that as shot and maybe some kindling as a wad

[pliant solar]

Pros:
-long range
-big scatter
Cons:
-needs a different ammo
-no sling
-will slowly break overtime

[lilac stag]

wdym long range?

[pliant solar]

blunderbuss is a better musket (Aka carbine) in shooting range

ex: pistol shoots like 25ft while a carbine (musket) shoots 50ft

[lusty lichen]

You know a blunderbuss is a shotgun right?

[pliant solar]

yeah?

but blunderbusses have long ranges

well are a long range

[lusty lichen]

Do you even understand the point of a shotgun.

[pliant solar]

yeah

i do

but i looking at its actually features

but yeah it is a shotgun

it still has range to it though

though its close range

[fallow condor]

I...

As a gun nut myself, I'll explain this the best possible way possible -

More barrel, similar powder, more shots- aka, bigger bullet that needs to fly, so less bang, less range

[tired stratus]

Yeah, so that we don't have to carry around different kinds of ammunition all the time

[fallow condor]

I ment, same shots, but just less effective

[devout garnet]

While I do think this would be a cool idea and it would make sense since blunderbusses were especially common on ships, I think this would be hard to balance properly as using any other gun at range is already somewhat difficult due to the lack of sights, making the blunderbuss either a straight upgrade in most situations or a very situational tool (depending on how it’s implemented) which in the latter situation would only make carrying the blunderbuss instead of something else a hassle most of the time

[lilac stag]

the musket has got some accurate sights

[devout garnet]

you're right i forgot the musket had them 😭

[pliant solar]

look, heres my idea: You can only have either the musket or blunderbuss on the island, meaning you cant have both:
Pros about blunderbuss:
Shotgun
more billets fire at a time
Cons about blunderbuss:
No strap
Short ranged
You must put atleast 3 billets into the barrel for it shoot and can go up to 4-5

[lilac stag]

i think the “you cant have both” is a little bit bad

[devout garnet]

does the "more bullets" part equate to more damage or something?

[sage totem]

I don’t see a good reason for it. It would be competing with the musket, which is already an upgrade for the pistol. If it’s a special sort of ammo, that’s bag space on top of any bullet boxes, and if you want a musket and blunderbuss you need to hold one or the other constantly, or your bag. If it takes normal ammo, using more than two bullets at a time would be inefficient as bullets don’t last that long anyway.

[viscid atlas]

or hear me out you can use multiple bullets but you could also load coins into it coin shot was a thing back then

but the beutiful thing about the blunderbus almost anything could be used as ammo

[steep agate]

Unless at some point we get an even larger and beefier boss than Seymour I see no need for a blunderbuss, while having more firearms would be neat the musket would overshadow them all with its high damage output on beasts

[viscid atlas]

I know a blunderbuss would really help with the ratam fight

[devout garnet]

Ok but like where are we getting the coins from

[tired stratus]

Chests?

This is already in the game

[devout garnet]

I thought it was just gems

[tired stratus]

No, if you actually paid attention and used your eyes, you would see that there are also coins

[devout garnet]

My apologies good sir

Wait is there a separate chest loot spawn with just coins or do the coins spawn with the gems

[lilac stag]

with the gens

gems*

[devout garnet]

Damn is that new or smth cuz I swear it wasn’t like that before 🙏

[tired stratus]

Damn is?!?!?! 😂 🎉

[steep agate]

Been like that since even before the early access release my guy 💔

[devout garnet]

i have video proof of that not being the case btw

[devout garnet]

please do it

[tired stratus]

I would love to see that

[devout garnet]

In my defense they blend in with the shadows quite well

[tired stratus]

Can see one that isn't in the shadows 🤔
