The Smoke Grenade is a deadly mix o' gun powder and sulfur, filled into a glass jar and lit with a fuse. Once thrown, the jar will shatter and an intoxicating cloud o' gas will temporarily leave yer enemies gasping for breath while ye make your move.

The Falconet is a deadly swivel cannon, used to target approachin' enemies. The falconet has two types of ammunition; the Round shot; a small steel cannon ball used to hit enemies and vessels at a fair distance, and the Grape shot, a shower of smaller pellets for maiming foes at close range, similar to a blunderbuss.

In BFP1, the falconet had both a very large range and blast radius. Now, there are two types of shots, which have both have a good balance of radius vs range, which is sure to bring a lot more strategy to the game.

The Powder Keg is an explosive barrel with a short fuse timer, useful for blowing up anything ye see fit. Just be sure to clear the area quickly, or ye be findin' yourself a new Pegleg!
