What REALLY Is The BEST Weapon in Sea of Thieves?

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

I haven’t watched the vid but it’s the blunderbuss

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.

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 had no idea the pistol was THAT much faster than eye of reach I thought it was rather minimal

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

Great video, thank you for putting in the effort of gathering all the data!

Genuinely get excited when you upload pls dont stop!

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 think knife+sniper is a good mix for those that can't deside what weapon to pair with the eye of reach.

I like the double barrel for that one extra bullet when im fighting skeletons or phantoms

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!

I am seriously enjoying swapping between these different ones! - Blunder & Sniper - Sword & Double Barrel Pistol - Sword & either Blunder or Sniper (depending on the situation) - Blunder & Double Barrel Pistol I like the throwing knives, but they are risky to use while I am still learning them. The DB Pistol is more fun since the tuning, making the reload and charge shots feel better!

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.

The throwing knife throw or heavy attack can be used to silent board guys

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.

Any combination with sword is the best, due to the block, the dash and the hopping. ---->.

I think it was cool for them to make the throwing knife count as a regular knife as well.

Oh no. The double shot+sword swipe reminds me of pre-nerfed Eye of Reach when everyone went Sword+EoR for the shot+swipe.

Seems like with the new buff to DB, EoR + DB might become a viable option. 2 shots to kill with an extra shot in case you miss, and the double shot from the DB does 90% now so if they're on fire or something it's a high chance of a 1 shot.
