Nerf blunder?

[CaptainSpacetime]

Has Rare ever looked into balancing the blunderbuss? It's the only (I think?) weapon with knockback and also the only weapon that kills in one hit.

Just seems foolish to *not* take the blunderbuss which really limits loadout options.

I heard Rare floated nerfing the blunder but hardcore pvpers cried about it?

bruh combat is already nerfed to the ground and hitreg for blunder is terrible in must cases. They need to fix lagging/rubberbanding when you fight on ship tho.

[CaptainSpacetime]

hitreg for everything is bad, but blunder has 10 chances to hit as opposed to 1 for every other weapon.

and lagging/rubberbanding sure should be fixed, but has nothing to do with weapon balance.

Blunder is not that good, it is only really good for ladder guarding or if you are maining the sloop, on bigger ships people can run away easily.
I think a single shot shotgun should be able to one shot people up close especially when the eye of reach does like 3/4ths of your health with one shot but i agree that the knockback is silly and very inconsistent

[Tiberius Lacedaemon]

You mean if all the shells hit a target, it deals full damage? Tell me it aint so, please, it cannot be!

If you think it's foolish to not take the blunder for PvP, that's fantastic. Easier prey for everyone else.

Good day.

If you don't want to be one-tapped by a blunder then don't stand right next to your enemy.
