In this guide, you will find out eight advanced tips for Muskets in New World. The players can use them to proceed further in the game. Â
1. The musket auto reloads unsheathed; the reloading animation takes 2 seconds.
But if you swap weapons right after shooting, it will auto-reload after 2 seconds.
You can use this to shoot once with another weapon count at least 2s on before swapping to a Musket again. If you swap earlier, you will still be able to do the whole animation.
2. Avoid Reloading Exhausted
The animation is longer when you have no stamina.
3. You have to use Tactical Reload for more shots over time.
4. Pre-load your overload shots.
They don’t expire if you swap weapons and not even logging out.
5. Adjust your Field of View and Camera Speed
The higher camera speed makes it harder to aim. It is recommended to use the lowest possible (10).
