The amount of validation I got when, after buying my first pistol skin (Mercenary), a crewmate told me it was a good choice due to the sights was delightful. Finding out it's one of Blurbs' top choices is heavenly.
This guy is way too good. He can fight these guys and be so chill while doing it that he can commentate on his videos while fighting them like nothing is happening. What a legend
The bullet always fires out of the exact center of the screen, but the viewmodel for each weapon is vastly different, creating these offsets, in case anyone was wondering.
You could have mention that the pistol got the best hipfire among all weapons, so in a realive short range you should use it without aiming. So you are much more mobile and also decrease the reload time a bit.
@@stankobarabata2406 The blunderbuss takes a fair bit longer to reload and has less range. Sure, you'll get more damage up close, but the consistency of the pistol whether you're point blank or pretty far away is what makes it so good.
@@stankobarabata2406 You said yourself why the reload time is so important, when you've "seen people juke melee while eating constantly". Timing is everything. Every moment spent reloading is a moment you can't be on the offensive or defensive. Fire a bit too late and you might not get the kill. But yeah you're right maybe we just shouldn't discuss the advantages of weapons because it's already assumed based on the weapon archetype. It's almost like despite the implied short range nature of the blunderbuss, that's still a very real weakness it has. Crazy thought but maybe it's also no less important that the eye of reach is good at sniping, while being a sniper. In a game where the meta weapon setup is using two single shot guns, one of which is a long rifle, for close range combat, names alone don't tell you shit. This might come as a shock to you, but sometimes being condescending isn't the best option.
@@stankobarabata2406 Those players you mentioned that are gods with the sniper are the exact reason why people go sniper blunder. If they don't one shot you with blunder, they quickscope you trying to heal, and if you're trying to rush them, they catch you with the sniper coming in. It's not meant to be a close range weapon but if you're good with it it's one of the best. It's main weakness is that it's slower than most other weapons because you have the delay of scoping in to quickscope which leaves you vulnerable, but if you're good at predicting movement it doesn't matter. The only true downside of double gunning, no matter which guns you're using, is ammo. But like you said, most combat is while boarding or being boarded, where there's an ammo crate close by at all times. Any weapon is good if you're good at using it, but a good double gunner beats out any equal skill sword user at least 70% of the time.
I'm annoyed by the fact that I would love to engage in this pvp and get good at it but I genuinely freak out when it starts and idk why. Like, I've had a boat with nothing on it and sailed straight into the other person and I was still shaking and unable to do anything of worth. Like how normally as you focus your perception of things slows down, mine speeds up. And it's not even the threat itself. I flunked an attack where there was just one guy and I snuck up on him because knowing I had to fight made me shaky and I missed shots on a stationary, anchored ship. I lost that fight.

Sea dog pistol is usually a accurate freebie, I've noticed that aside from the bulbous end on the warsmith pistol recently released seems to hit pretty accurate where there is a tapered point on top.
I’m sure someone else has probably commented this, but it looks like the bone crusher is aligned with the bottom of that divot on the top. So it does have a sight, it’s just a little wonky
Bonus pro tip: with the double gun sprint cancel you can cancel youre sword after 2 swings, switch to the pistol and get an ez hit because the enemy is stuned from the sword hits. Fast combo to kill a full hp player. Kinda tricky but if youre good with the sprint cancel it should be ez
I use the Kraken and Inky Kraken pistols, they are pretty good. Also, the Wild Rose Flintlock has a good iron-sight and looks cool imo, but it fires a tiny little low.
Aah, this reminds me of one time my friends and I were on a brig, and I showed off by 3-shotting a boarder with the pistol. I use the Pistol of the damned, and it almost has an invisible iron sights, which makes aiming it soo fun
Hey there Blurbs. Thanks for the video (just came across it today). Could you please tell me what flintlock ornament your pirate is using in the thumbnail for this video? It looks amazing and I don’t think I’ve ever seen it before. Thanks again for the helpful video.
I actually really like the bone crusher pistol. Once you know where the bullet comes out. I actually find it easier to line up than any of the ones without any iron site
I've found that any Kraken set for both the pistol and the blunderbuss have very good iron sights built into it because it is lower than the one that you recommended but still a good shot Edit: grammer
If you want a cheap pistol with good aim get the sea dog pistol. The top has a ridge which can act like an iron sight while you save up to buy one with a proper sight.
i respect the flintlock but i just can't part with the blunderbuss, the ability to knock people back, the ability to make it so you only need 1 sword slash if you're lucky, the ability to kill an entire galleon if they're not paying attention (or deaf), it feels fantastic. Water is a different story but some of the time hitboxes are jank enough to save me.
I try to play with the pistol because I like how flexible it is, but I can never hit with it in no small part due to having a much higher sensitivity in SoT than other games. So when PvP starts getting kinda serious I've gotta switch to blunder
just use the settings that work for you. in general, low sensitivity is good for casual play, go high sensitivity if you plan on playing for a long time and getting that muscle memory down. but the #1 best tip for using guns that i never see streamers mention is: tape a reticle to the center of your TV/computer monitor. you will instantly get way better.
@@Voidova yeah i guess but it's an instant advantage. if there are tournaments and stuff (idk if there are) i would guarantee that most people have a reticule. such an easy fix for a game without one. and no way all those pro quick-scopers just memorized the middle of their screens.
Personally I really like the sword/pistol fighting style over double gunning and quick scoping. It makes more sense to use them and it doesn't feel like cheese.
Hip fire is easy with the pistol you don't have to aim because it's cantered on the middle of the screen as long as your target is directly in the middle you don't have to aim to hit it .
U can spam reload the gun too by double click weapon change. Its like the magical of sot. U go faster with the sail up wind. U reload faster by double change weapon. PS hip fire of the gun are not to bad to use also as the bullet go just slightly up or down. .. at least that As the case last time I played. ;/
your absolutly right with that the pistol a more all around weapon. however, on the xbox, it's just so much easier to 1 shot them with a blunderbuss haha
Dude I suck so bad at this game I only have like 2 pistols 😅, but I’m getting a little better at it, still getting spawn killed and having my boat sunk every time I play 😅
If the skins cause the gun to behave differently then it's not cosmetic and some skins have an advantage over others. Does that not run counter to what the devs want for the game?

Aww, he just killed me... Aww he just killed me too... got me real bad.
2:28 lol
it killed me
The amount of validation I got when, after buying my first pistol skin (Mercenary), a crewmate told me it was a good choice due to the sights was delightful.
Finding out it's one of Blurbs' top choices is heavenly.
Bro I bought it by mistake when I was new and when watching this i don't regret it
My crew encouraged me to get the mercenary as well for my first. Still don't like the color that is why I use the ebony.
I bought the Mercenary as a temporary when grinding for the royal sovereigns. I'm still using it just for the sights.
I bought it because it looked nice and then Noticed the Iron sights as a neat extra
I love how everyone is making videos on the new patch and blurb is just here like ahah pistol go BRRRRR
@Royal Ameer these two comments... I’ve seen them before.. you aren’t tricking me
This guy is way too good. He can fight these guys and be so chill while doing it that he can commentate on his videos while fighting them like nothing is happening. What a legend
I'm fairly sure that the voice is added In after, or I might be missing the point of your message
sailor and the classic ebon flintlock, straight outta a pirates movie.
love those two guns
The only way.

I love Sea of thieves PvP because it is so unique compared to other games. It seems simple on the surface but at the same time requires a lot of skill
I Love it because depends 100% of your skills and not an upgraded damage or some like almost every game.
I'm annoyed by the fact that I would love to engage in this pvp and get good at it but I genuinely freak out when it starts and idk why.

Great vid as always. Actually managed to sink a brig for the first time (solo) thanks to your guides.
Hahahah haven't played SOT in a while been on no mans sky but still love watching your videos
Two of my favorite games
Two best games
There like five versions of the Ebon pistol, Ebon, Mercenary, Aristocrat, Cultured Aristocrat, and Silverblade.
Are any of them available in 2022?

@@zayne5202 and silverblade is months worth of playing insiders
I personally use the sea dog pistol because the barrel is octagonal and has a point on top that is perfectly in line with your shots.
I would HIGHLY suggest the order of should flintlock. It’s got a perfect triangle sight
Sea dog pistol is usually a accurate freebie, I've noticed that aside from the bulbous end on the warsmith pistol recently released seems to hit pretty accurate where there is a tapered point on top.
Bro thank you, I have been binging your videos and feel a lot more confident to fight in pvp lol

best SoT content on youtube, thanks so much bro
I got the ebon flintlock years ago and never bothered trying another one. It’s so clean
It came out like 11 months ago....
Mason Gent it actually came out March 22 2018....on mixer
@@fonzi55 didnt it come as a twitch drop with the obsidian rod 11 month ago though? Was that a re release in that case I'm sorry
Mason Gent must have been a re release I guess. It was one of/if not the first thing I got as a drop for watching streamers in sea of thieves
@@fonzi55 well sorry for the hassle, btw do you know bow I can get the ebon or any other variants of the mercenary today?
Nice video and thank ya for this. Finally a great pistol guide.
1:04 ATTENTION!
the ribcage is NOT the iron sight,the little dent at the plain end of the gun is!

I use the Kraken and Inky Kraken pistols, they are pretty good. Also, the Wild Rose Flintlock has a good iron-sight and looks cool imo, but it fires a tiny little low.
Got yourself a brand new sub! Yarr!
I just subbed too :)
I like how the best pistol model is the one designed after the M9 Beretta, a semi-modern handgun
it is not the best pistol model tho. Sea Dog is the one. Tribute peak is also better but nobody uses except me I think.
If you want to be stylish and precise I would advise the fates of fortune pistol
Sick channel bro!! Enjoying your videos
this is a good guide
Aah, this reminds me of one time my friends and I were on a brig, and I showed off by 3-shotting a boarder with the pistol. I use the Pistol of the damned, and it almost has an invisible iron sights, which makes aiming it soo fun
For the skin there's also the gold hoarders pistol that also has a pretty good sight
The Bone Crusher appears to be aligned with the divot, the second piece of the iron sight.
Hey there Blurbs. Thanks for the video (just came across it today). Could you please tell me what flintlock ornament your pirate is using in the thumbnail for this video? It looks amazing and I don’t think I’ve ever seen it before. Thanks again for the helpful video.
I actually really like the bone crusher pistol. Once you know where the bullet comes out. I actually find it easier to line up than any of the ones without any iron site
Bit late but I wonder if this would be useful for the double barrel pistol as well. Since both feel the same in combat
Awesome video. I hope I get a chance to fight you one day
Can you give tips for Eye of Reach shooting? I like to think of having the close ranged sword alongside the long range of the sniper.
Great pistol vid
I've found that any Kraken set for both the pistol and the blunderbuss have very good iron sights built into it because it is lower than the one that you recommended but still a good shot

Love your vids keep it up
How good is the ferrymans pistol iron sight?
Best pistols admiral, sea dog, aristocratic, and OG. Worst soul flame
Parrot is good too
Do you use low or high sensivity to aim and fight/move the camera?
Great question! I asked during a stream,but there was a lot going on. Would like to hear his opinions on settings...
just use the settings that work for you. in general, low sensitivity is good for casual play, go high sensitivity if you plan on playing for a long time and getting that muscle memory down.
but the #1 best tip for using guns that i never see streamers mention is: tape a reticle to the center of your TV/computer monitor. you will instantly get way better.
@@jp-sn6si probably because it's kind of cheating. Most decent streamers probably do use built in monitor crosshairs though they won't admit it.
@@Voidova yeah i guess but it's an instant advantage. if there are tournaments and stuff (idk if there are) i would guarantee that most people have a reticule. such an easy fix for a game without one.

You can buy the mercenary pistol with the money you can get from the maiden voyage lol
how is the new order of souls pistol for pvp
It's okay, the alignment is a bit off so you have to aim a tad lower
Personally I really like the sword/pistol fighting style over double gunning and quick scoping. It makes more sense to use them and it doesn't feel like cheese.
Hip fire is easy with the pistol you don't have to aim because it's cantered on the middle of the screen as long as your target is directly in the middle you don't have to aim to hit it .
