Finally starting to get back into the forum business, and I've finally finished something that I had planned to make a long, long time ago... I guess months of procrastination seems to be the running theme with this suggestion, amirite?
Well, say hello the the latest weapon in the Dutchman's loot arsenal:
The Captain's Regards
'Pirate diplomacy at its finest.'
* Ranged bullet-firing weapon.
* Medium-low bullet spread
* Fires a cannon blast that deals increased damage in a small area every 1.5 seconds while firing.
Damage: 35
Use Time: 7 (8.5 uses/second)
50% chance to not consume ammo
That's right. It's a pre-Lunar Vortex Beater; the Pirate Captains half-machinegun-half-cannon as an item you can wield!
I don't know why I put off spriting the damned thing for so long... but it's here now!
