Discussion (THEORY) No Weapon Named After Jack Sparrow

[Marc Daggerhound]

I just wanted to bring up an interesting thing I noticed in game.
Two of the supporting characters from the movie have some item in game named after them.

Captain Barbossa: Barbossa's Fury (A Quadruple Barreled Repeater Pistol that was given out towards the end of POTCO)

James Norrington: Norrington's Spyglass (Wreck the Mast Special Ability, +2 Open Fire Boost, +2 Take Cover Boost)

There are other weapons that seem to resemble characters from POTC.
Admiral Cutlass Line (Norrington/Blacksmith Will Turner):

• Admiral's Cutlass
• Vice Admiral's Cutlass
• Commodore's Cutlass

However, the main character himself, Captain Jack Sparrow, doesn't have a weapon, or special item, named after him. Was this decision intentional? Why didn't Disney put in an item named after Jack Sparrow?

However, if you look closely, there is a sword that closely resembles his weapon from Curse of the Black Pearl.
The Heart of Padres Del Fuego: If you look closely at this sword, it looks very similar to Captain Jack Sparrow's "effects" from the first movie. Is that also the reason why it is so over powered? Is it a direct reference to Jack Sparrow, without directly putting his name on a weapon?

Again, these are just my thoughts, but I find it odd that Jack Sparrow's name doesn't appear on a famed or legendary weapon. However, this could provide a theory as to why the Heart of Padres is so overpowered. Maybe it's supposed to directly reference the fearless pirate that has stolen our hearts, Captain Jack Sparrow.

Again, this is just a theory. Feel free to respond below.​

Perhaps not a "direct" reference, but most of the voodoo dolls in the game do resemble movie characters as well, including Jack Sparrow.

Some examples:

Some of the dolls also have a face pop up when you use their hexes. I've seen a lot of dolls that display Jack Sparrow's face.

Yup, the face corresponds to the appearance of the doll.

 

[Marc Daggerhound]

But either way, I do want to see some weapon or tool directly referencing Jack Sparrow. He's simply too important of a character, since he's literally the face of Pirates of the Caribbean.

Isn't it obvious, it's the compass up in the top corner.

Nice! I agree.

I mean, yeah, this is true, but it would be cool if Jack Sparrow had some hard to obtain, Legendary weapon or tool that not everyone started with at the beginning of the game.

Have YOU tried to play this game without the compass?

I have actually played the entire game without the entire GUI, and considering that a lot of the systems aren't incomplete yet, it wasn't really that hard xD.

Actually, having no compass was easy. But without the rest of the GUI, it was pretty intense. No health or anything visible.

Wow. You are way better then I thought. Never mind, your point stands.

(EDIT) Have you considered I wanna be the guy? You seem good at games...

It's actually a pretty fun challenge, I would highly recommend it to anyone. Heh

I believe there were some weapons named after him in the unreleased files on the wiki. But it is strange how none of the weapons have his name directly, as he is the main character throughout Pirates of the Caribbean...

Note: There were other Unreleased items from Jack Sparrow as well...
Jack Sparrow's Revenge (Pistol)
Jack Sparrow's Voodoo Doll
Jack Sparrow's Spyglass
**There were also other unreleased items named after other characters.

The names were "Aztec" themed because at the time a Jolly Roger Island was under consideration (scrapped due to funds). According to the plans, it would've had an Aztec feel to it. Here is the link for that: http://piratesonline.wikia.com/wiki/Jolly_Roger's_Island

There's also a pistol "Jack Sparrow's Revenge", a doll "Jack Sparrow's doll", and a spyglass "Jack Sparrow's spyglass" no wiki page just mentioned here. There is also many pirate lord weapons there too.

I just want to go back to the Heart of Padres real quick. Does it look like Jack Sparrow's sword, from the first movie, to anyone else? It is strangely familiar, and could provide a hidden reason as to why the blade is so powerful.

"The Heart of Padres Del Fuego is a ruthless LegendaryCutlass that was discovered when Jolly Roger was targeting Padres with numerous invasions that he was using to try and obtain the powerful sword himself."
Idk he never really has a sword of his own just snatches one from somewhere when he needs it, the only weapon he kept that was really his is the gun he saved from Barbossa after the mutiny
