I've played Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag so I'm somewhat an expert in this subject.

Sea of Thieves players: “You know I’m somewhat of a *chainshot expert* myself”

Reminds me of Pirates of the Caribbean and Assassin's Creed Black Flag.

I’ve seen it used once in media: when Pintel and Ragetti took down one of the Dutchman’s masts.

Ahh, Assassins Creed 3, 4 and Rogue memories come flooding to

So they literally just shot a Chain Chomp at ships? Sounds like fun

I think you missed one of the main reasons to use Chain Shot. Often in naval combat of the day the goal was not to sink the opponents ship but to disable it and take the ship by boarding, chain shot was very good at tanging riggin and dismasting ships. The ships crew and officers were paid prize money for taking enemy ships and capturing them to use in their own navy's.

I've been getting tired of trimming my neighbor's tree branches that grow into my yard. A cannon with chain shot looks like a great solution... either it will clear out branches or decapitate the neighbors... or destroy their deck... or remove their chimney... doesn't seem very accurate.
