Update 1.1.5: Blunderbuss, sidearm buffs and more!

Ahoy scallywags!

Nothing feels worse than having a powerful gun, boarding an enemy ship, and missing every shot. Not utilizing those muskets feels like a massive blunder. That's why we've added the perfect gun: the blunderbuss. Why try sniping someone in a moment of tension, when you can walk up to them and blast 'em with pellets?

That, and more, in today's update!
