Weapons

Sledgehammer		Hatchet & Fist		Boarding Hook

More suited to pounding steaks than pulverizing heads, the Buccaneer neither knows nor cares.		A versatile and veritably indispensible tool for sailing and buccaneering alike.		Good for retrieving things that are trying to run away.
Damage	100 (charged), 71 (not charged)	Damage	60 (charged), 46 (not charged)	Damage	15
Size	Large	Punch Bash Damage	40 (charged), 20 (not charged)	Ammo Count	Respawnable
Charge Speed	Strong	Charge Speed	Medium	Respawn Time	20 seconds (refunded if picked up)
Swing Speed	Very Slow	Swing Speed	Fast	On Hit Effect	Pulls into Buccaneer and readies a punch
Range	63	Range	55	On Punch	60 (charged), 35 (not charged) with knockback
Special attack: Fire Breath
This special equips itself in place of the held weapon
When the special meter is full, press the special button to chug some Rootjack and light a torch to breathe fire upon your foes. While not good for single target fights it can easily blow through gathered groups of enemies, and if that doesn't kill them the afterburn will. Alt fire allows you to charge a fireball that does increased single target damage at the cost of higher ammo use. Switch to another weapon to cancel the special early and regain a small amount of HP based off remaining ammo.

Achievements

WIP

Formerly called the "Swashbuckler/Freebooter", a light stealth class, but it was eventually decided to instead give the Pirates a tank class.

One concept showing the Buccaneer as a chef, which would later become his proper model
