skull and bonescomes to Xbox Series X|S on November 8th and lets players explore a fictional version of the Indian Ocean during the Golden Age of piracy, but piracy didn’t come out of nowhere. It supported a rich trade in spices, silk and other popular commodities for Europeans in the 17th century. These lucrative picks opened pirates to new business opportunities. their own secret smuggling network.
During Ubisoft Forward, skull and bones The team has revealed a little more about these networks. This becomes clear only when you earn the right to know. To achieve that, you’ll need to gain notoriety and eventually unlock your own pirate lair — known as a helm — to serve as a base for your smuggling operations. Here expensive commodities such as rum and opium can be manufactured and then sold to the wealthiest. From here on, you’ll also have the freedom to choose your own contract, rather than being tossed about by other pirate kingpins.
The Ubisoft Forward presentation also revealed how ships can be built and customized. Each ship type targets a different kind of playstyle, whether you’re looking for maneuverability, power, or cargo capacity, but each also has specific perks. For example, Sambuk gives an advantage to players who use fire weapons, while Brig (already a heavy hitter) can deal more damage while anchored. And that’s just the beginning. Each ship can be fitted with different weapons, ammunition, armor, furniture, and cosmetics, which the player can tailor to specific tasks and make them unique.
Arming a ship is more than just stockpiling shells. You have to think about what you want to achieve. Do you prefer to sink enemy ships and loot their wreckage? Then there are the penetrating rounds that pierce through armor and rush water, or the projectiles that can wreak all sorts of destruction on large wooden structures. You will need. However, if you want to disable your ship for easy boarding, ripping ammunition can easily deal with the sails. You can also choose from a wide variety of weapons, including various cannons, ballistae, mortars, rocket launchers, and even torpedoes. Each has its own damage type to keep your enemies guessing.
That said, each weapon also has a type of armor that can counter it. For example, you wouldn’t want to use a flamethrower against a leather paneled ship, as leather is resistant to fire damage. Recognizing what your enemy is using to defend yourself and responding with weapons that can destroy it completely is one of the many ways to survive at sea.
