I tried putting my Plastic Cutlass in the funny pirate chest and nothing happened, Chicken's sword in the base game conditioned me to expect something badass with +3 million hype points and aura but instead I got disappointment. Literally unplayable.

I'd like every weapon to have a pirate variant at some point, but I didn't want to stall release for it. the reason the chicken cutlasses and the corsair cutlass (upgraded plastic cutlass) aren't in yet is because I haven't come up with a good mechanic for cutlasses as a weapon set. i gotta do the black cutlass justice it can't be lame
next patch includes an option to add indicators on weapons that can be traded which should hopefully help out a bit for now while theres still a bunch of variants missing
