Potty mouth

The gold hoarder cutlass resembling a machete sort of makes sense, considering that the Ancient Isles are supposed to be Gold Hoarder territory. Definitely fits the feel of trudging through the jungle and chopping through vines on the hunt for loot.

The fact they have different styles of sword for a few of the sets (cutless, heavy sword and rapier) makes me kinda want them to full on add those types as different melee weapon option's, keeping the skins just makinh the "heavy swords" play different than cutlass's

"Captain Bones' Original Pirate Cutlass" is probably my favorite. It is a big clunky, and the skull is big, but it is a skull tho.

8:16 Nailed it. I wish Rare would stop making cosmetics that are an horrendous amalgamation of gold, jewels, and glow sticks for fortnite kids to buy, and instead make more simple pirate cosmetics based on concept art and the alpha/beta of the game. Or even better, don't create anything new if it's a ton of work, just release those hundreds of cosmetics and sets that have been collecting dust in the files of the game since it came out.

I get Merrick's sword is supposed to be more of a fishing spear, but it just looks like a bayonette on a stick

The horde of dancing crabs during the ocean crawler talk just killed me 😂

Bonecrusher is an Orks Choppa Gold Hoarder's is an Ork Warboss' Choppa Also I've come to adore the Merchant's Alliance ledger for a reliable source of classy, non gaudy Pirate gear. Their ship is sleek and professional looking, their weapons aren't over the top. It gives me the vibe of a seasoned pirate or captain who may not raid and pillage anymore, but can always be relied upon and runs their ship right.

Merrick's Cutlass is a harpoon. It looks like its supposed to be a harpoon that is used as a sword (Love the fishing themed stuff). The style roughly based on older 19th century whailing harpoons, which makes sense as the Sea of Thieves is based on that general time frame.

I've used the legendary cutlass for years, but the Ferryman's cutlass won me over again, so I let the TSD title say "I played Arena" instead. It's a nice looking sword, with an awesome design. When I get the Fortune pistol, they'll work quite well together.

the curse of sunken sorrow weapon set is sea of thieves's way of making some nerf guns

The party boat cutlass makes me think more of the Monkey Island referencing. One of the sword fighting insults was "Soon you'll be wearing my sword like a shish kebab!" and the counter was "First you'd better stop waving it like a feather duster."

all of my friends call the Ruby Stinger Cutlass "the Jolly Rancher sword"

The red on the Admiral cutlass might be emulating the cloth liners sometimes seen on basket-hilted swords in real life. It's shaped a bit wrong (the metal of the hilt still needs to be actually connected to the blade if you want it to work as a sword), but the overall impression is very "Scottish broadsword". Also, none of the "rapiers" in-game are actual rapiers; they're more accurately termed smallswords or foils, basically barbecue skewers with hilts. A true rapier is an inch across the base of the blade and long enough to come up to the user's armpit; it is _not_ a delicate weapon.

I love the dawn hunter sword as it takes a bit to unlock and it's a clean design

I always thought the Relic of Darkness Cutlass was cool because it looks like something The Spy would use. Also I find myself using the Shish-Kabob sword a lot. Fits the fisherman/solitary survivalist theme i like a lot, yk?

kinda surprised you didn't mention the energy sword, especially when you were using the pose to show off the other weapons. personally i rock it, and i guess you did mention not liking microtransactions and neon whatever, but me personally, i like halo too much so i just use it because it's nostalgic and cool

The Sunken Sorrow guns do look really ridiculous, but the Sword, strangely, doesn't match the preview perfectly. I think it looks a lot better when it's held than in the preview.

Honestly, the Imperial sovereign and the black dog/mercenary cutlass are my favorite swords. The new light swords are all amazing too.

I have used the sovereign cutlass as long as I can remember… one of the only good looking gold swords in my opinion, and it wasn’t that hard to earn either.

Another amazing ranking vid ❤

11:21 it also looks like a cherry jolly rancher

The Heavy Swords look like they’re based on a type of falchion, although much heavier looking than falchion’s normally are. My only problem with them is the blades end up looking way wider than they should be. Merrick’s Cutlass looks like a miniature halberd or pole-arm of some kind, maybe the leftovers of a harpoon or something? The Eastern Winds style swords look like they’re based on Chinese bladed weapons, most likely the Dao and probably a Dakandao specifically. Would have definitely preferred a red rapier like what was shown but I will say the Ruby Blade looks like it’s made out of obsidian or some kind of blood-stained volcanic glass. It could make sense, and I’d say that kind of weapon would be prone to shattering but who knows how sturdy seemingly magical or cursed stuff in Sea of Thieves is. I’d love to see them add in more rapiers as well, and perhaps some katana-style weapons or just more unique weapons like that khopesh, like a seax or a shotel, or maybe a viking-style arming sword or a Scottish broadsword. Shotels look like mini scythes so how fun would it be to have a shotel for doing something as part of the Reapers?

the gold hoarders cutlass at 9:27 resembles a falchion-styled blade, which also can be mistaken for a machete, but for combat.

I love the ruby stinger cutlass because im a nerd and i like to pretend i have Zar’roc.

"Go get urself kegged" is my new swear words rn

Scurvy Bilge Rat Cutlass was my favorite for a minute It was unavailable for like 3 full years, and so it was rarer than a ferryman sword for a time, and it sports a very dark iron blade, chipped up I even got a real-life replica of it i loved it so much

Servants of The Flame Cutlass hands down my go to

12:15 Okay but there’s one good thing about this sword. You can see your friend is using the sovereign cutlass, equip this thing, and tell them your sword is bigger.

15:36 Man I love the jailer cutluss I use all the time

I'm hoping that they don't introduce the Athena's Might Cutlass back into the shops. I was a bit disappointed when the OG Athena curse was added back into the shops, but I kinda knew it was coming eventually.

The curved handles and other types not aligned to the blade are very much a real life thing, mostly seen on very curved slashers (and straight stabbers) like the saber in question. A straight handle is preferred for more multi-function blades and chopping motions, which are all things you can do with an actual cutlass (straight blade and a point but also a nice curve to its edge and a higher center of balance, as well an enveloping handguard). It's also the only practical option for a two-handed weapon

I think the ruby stinger Cutlass looks like red sea glass that hasn't fully fogged up. I like it but i can definitely see why some wouldn't

i personally fucking love the chefs "cutlass", in my oppinion them ore silly the better. like my character looks disgusting and i love that really weird like "how did this guy get here, how has he survived this long" kind of look, i also like to use the party cutlass with the blooming blunderbuss because i have a crazy day from pvz pirate i use some times, it looks really fitting.

if you take away the gold plates on the end of the fates of fortune cutlass, and just have it finish out like a regular sword/cutlass, i think it would be one of the best in the game. i really like the design other than the unnecessary bits at the end

I know it literally just came out this past week but i think the captain's week rapier is one the very best swords in the game, solid gold and steel colors, classic swept hilt and i also love the rapiers

What I would really like is a full black rapier. I would use it every time for sure.

Sometimes I use the first one (admiral cutlass) w the reaper costume. Decent match. I also use the reapers heart sword w various combos. Mainly because all 3 of my captain ships have rose themed sets and I believe hearts and Rose's match and the reds are similar.

The Rose sword is by far my favorite looking sword in FP, i love it so much

The crab swords remind me of foam bats for some reason

Big fan of hearing your thoughts on these cosmetics ~ Keep it up :)

chef's cutlass best cosmetic in the game, change my mind

18:18 Me and my friends we started saying SpongeBob quotes because we got that sword and it was hilarious

The Bilge Rat sword tells everyone "I don't need to be fancy to kill you." I personally like it because it really shows you how desperate you are by using what's essentially a broken sword held together with duct tape

There is a really nice rapier on the emporium rn. It’s absolutely beautiful, I bought it and I don’t think I’ll ever use another cutlass.

Interesting video. I cannot choose which design I like the best. Definitely NOT the spatula. Thanks for this content. Well done.

The ruby stinger cutlass is cleary a cherry popsicle

I don't always use a sword, but when I do it's the Order of Souls khopesh.

I use the Bone Crusher sword - not the recolor, but the original. It's this rusted, bent blade that looks like it was carved from solid metal rather than actually forged, and it definitely looks unique (plus barely anyone else has it). The rib/tusk/whatever they exactly are used as guards, and the bird skull on the end of the handle, as well as the leather - it works really well. Yeah it looks like a blunt weapon, but it's covered in rust and held together with straps. It makes sense it wouldn't be in great condition. Other swords, like even the Ashen Dragon one, do get a bit of a boost in my book for having nice little ornaments on the ends of the handles. Also I think Briggsy's is meant to be, like, bronze or copper or something, since gold is quite soft and impractical (though molten metal is more impractical still but that sword is regardless an amazing one). 6:15 That right there is an Ashen Dragon set item, unfortunately. Look at the dragon head on the handle, plus the Ashen Dragon (the actual ship) is a crew of skeletons so it lines up. Still looks pretty cool, that, actually. Reaper's Heart stuff is based on that original parrot, hence the wings. I really like the Reaper's Heart cutlass though - the eerie red energy does compliment the gold and black nicely. That new Gold Hoarder heavy cutlass is really overdone to me. It's trying to be, as a whole, one of the skeleton keys, but it doesn't work - the blade's damage is the teeth of it, the handle's overbuilt section the key's ring, etc. Just doesn't work. The Athena's Might sword is really cool to me because while getting slapped with it would be, as with many swords, a blunt hit, it uses the border of the AF logo as the guard and I love that. The twisting design at the base of the Legendary Spirit and Ghost swords is really cool to me. Though the latter would be worthless at blocking when a sword swings through that gap in it. The Tribute Peak sword would look nicer if it were just the emerald blade, rather than having been.. dipped in molten coins, I think it's supposed to be. I love the straps or whatever the are with their faint writing on the Masked Renegade stuff. The rest of that sword.. it's like a secondary blade you keep, a dagger for combat rather than voting, for when you lose your usual sword.

i love the sword of souls both because of its looks but because its basically just the mastersword from zelda

I think the ruby stinger cutlass looks like hard candy or some sort of lollipop.

My personal favorite is the Thriving Wild Rose *chefs kiss*

The new gold hoarders rapier is lit 💀

I agreed with most of this but slapping someone to death with a spatula cutlass will never not be amazing

Justice for the ocean crawler sets bro ✊

Great Video!

I agree with the fact we need more simple stuff, it's so much better

The best thing said in this video is "this is what Rare doesn't understand, the bad skins in this game look like neon Fortnite or WoW... we need simple pirate things" YES. I have not bought shit from the emporium in a long time because I look at these skins like "wtf about this says pirate? this is a pirate game. you wanna have a theme cool... but mf make it PIRATE"

I used the mercenary blade and the sovereign blade until the new halo inspired weapon set and bought the whole thing and use all those now.

Awwwww I like the sunken sorrow set :( but great video either way!

B for royal sovereign cultlass? Its the only one i find good in the entire game 😂 but im a sucker for imperial uniform stuff so it does make sense

the ashen dragon looks less of a ballon and more like a boomerang of how curved the blade is

Arena swords are one of my favorites; has a lot of detail, looks practical, fancy, and it shows you're a veteran of the Shitshow Gamemode

I want the chefs cutlass and a chefs hat

The new Gold Hoarder Light Cutlass is one of my new favorite swords. I fucking love it.

10:25 always called this ugly sword the butter sword lol great video

The order of souls cutlass, for being a unique one, looks pretty ass if you ask me, but I use it nonetheless

Just for you bacx, the next time we play I'm going to play as Umbridge.

The preview sword was just the captain rapier in a different color

I love and use pendragons sword but my main issue with it is that the pommel looks big, idk why it just looks uncomfortable to hold in my Opinion.

that fate of fortune sword is a real fav, but nothing tops the legendary seadog sword..that is if you use swords

I use the fates of fortune cutlass because it violates at least one war crime

Briggsy's sword is my go-to, because it looks like real gold, but behaves like steel. That, and I want a real version of it.

I think with the gold hoarder cutlass if they made the blade more rich it would look better

Ngl I wish they had a gold rapier sword that could match the sovereign gold

nedo like chef cutlass because nedo fisherman

They really need to add more basic swords yk like the one the weapon smith is holding like real pirate stuff

You shut up. The Ruby Stinger slaps when night fighting. Looks so cool

It would be cool if our ship had a mantle to display our trophy swords

I played the game in season one, then stopped and came back for season nine. I kinda regret how many cool cosmetics I missed tho.

How do you feel about the captains rapier, from the captaincy weekend?

6:29 that's exactly right! Always hated the stupid rose colours in this set combined with the completely out of place bits of yellow plastic.

is it still possible to get flameheart's cutlass? i've heard you get all previous PL rewards when you actually get there but i'm not sure

i dont know when but they added fire versiuon of saber of souls

I didn’t know the sword of souls existed, I have a new Tall tale to do

I like the more slick designs and absolutely despise anything that looks more like a shovel than a sword (these broad blades would be soooo heavy). But I could never settle for one sword to use. That was until I put my hands on the captain's rapier. That thing is amazing and I never touched any other sword since I got it.

Really hated how nearly EVERY piece of every parrot set looks great......except the sword.

My ship is the Krusty Krab and my crew has the spatula for obvious reasons

I think reading the descriptions for the swords would have explained the thought behind the designs. Although expecting a SoT player to know how to read would be to much in my opinion.

i love merricks cutlass my go to blade

What do you think of the eternal freedom cutlass or the legend of monkey Island cutlass?

The man insulted my beautiful bilge rat cutlass by calling it generic

Ok if they wanted to make flameheart's sword look threatening, then they shouldn't have made the bit after the blade connects to the gaurd be so small. It looks more like it would be broken when the first sword collides into it. OR Better yet make flameheart have a more cutlass that is barbed or looks like the blade that has a point that curves back like a hook. AND if they want an orky blade, Then take reference from Freebootaz with swords, not the shit from warcraft.

Briggsy's is my go-to.

Glad I’m not the only one that thinks the new spatula cutlass is stupid

How dare you disrespect the spatula. All hail the comically large spatula

maybe the khopesh in oos is like that bc egyptian mythology has a lot of references to the afterlife? dont quote me on that.

I use the chef's cutlass because its dumb to be killed by a cutlass.

For the legendary cutlass, the dark bluish-purple metal looks to me like blued steel which has then been darkened... unsure how feasible that is personally in pirate times but it would fit the bill handily

Bro who carved out these swords? Half of them are Jagged asf💀
