One of the New Season 12 Weapons

Sea of Thieves - Double Barrel Pistol

The Double Barrel Pistol is the new weapon that functions similarly to a pistol, except it lets you fire two individual shots before reloading or two bullets at once and may give you an advantage during a gunfight.

It will become available on April 30, alongside the official launch of Season 12 and the PS5 version of the game!

Season 12 Release Date and Roadmap

Can Fire Two Shots Before Reloading

The new Double Barrel Pistol can fire two individual shots before reloading, making it good for close-range battles as the most guns have to reload every after shot.

The only disadvantages of the Double Barrel Pistol is that it's bullet travel less distance and inflict less damage than the standard pistol.

Can Use Two Bullets in One Shot

You can charge the Double Barrel Pistol and shoot two bullets at once for a devastating damage. Other players or enemies not in full health can potentially get one-shot if they are directly hit at close range!
