Weapons - PirateEra/pirate-era GitHub Wiki

Explanation

Pirate-Era has a pretty strange weapon system. This is because weapons don't actually deal more damage. They do however give you the potential to deal more damage per second, and hit people from further range or knock them back.

Every weapon in Pirate-Era has a active ability when swung. So whenever you punch/swing with a weapon it will use a certain move. This move ofcourse has a cooldown so it does not happen with every swing. These moves are the main reason to use weapons in Pirate-Era.

Dual Wielding

Pirate-Era also allows a user to dual wield his weapons. This means you can fight with 2 weapons at the same time. To do so you simply have to add the weapon to your offhand slot in your inventory, after that you can swing it by right-clicking.

Your offhand slot is the slot right next to where your player shows in your inventory.

Boss weapons

Some weapons are special boss weapons, these weapons have a extra activateable move. You can recognize these weapons by hovering over them in your inventory. If they say "Shift-r Click to cast" it means they have an extra ability. These abilities can be very helpful during fights. To use them simply hold the item in your main hand and Shift (crouch) and press right-click.

How to obtain them

Weapons in Pirate-Era can be obtained in multiple ways
