Hold Q while you're on the cannon, and a radial menu pops up allowing you to pick normal cannonballs or any of the cursed cannonballs you're carrying on you.
2:22 last week me and a friend went duo sloop and encountered a galleon; we landed a few shot really low so they were busy while we were punching holes through their mid deck and shortly afterwards sinking them with a ballast ball. It was insane how fast it went down.
I did not know this either. Very useful to know. Especially if you attempt to go faster to someplace by Harpooning a Megalodon. This would especially be so if you're trying to escape from a Kraken and a Megalodon spawns on you.
3:18 I'd add that fireballs are perfect to deny control of the anchor and the steering wheel + a lot of monitinors have a crosshair feature which makes aiming cannons and harpoons so much easier
thanks for these! i just started solo slooping and these have been extremely helpful! Thank you! would love to see more of PVP tips as i struggle a lot with almost any PVP game.
Man... I'm a pioneer sea of thieves player... Been playing for so long. And u are the first I see making a short video about what so important to do and not to do. You did a great job here. It help player base to understand sea of thieves is a over cooked type game after all. Every action who can make u save even just a second can make a huge difference. My big issue is my aim. I even train every day kovaaks for fix that. I even down my sensitivity to 36cm/360. But still I miss some shoots. I have a trouble anticipating the latency and the velocity of the gun shoot. (To make it harder hitreg are off) Also as I'm a father since 2 years I have lost a lot of playable time, rebuking me to do friend on discord. (Also because I'm in a so small house I cant talk because I would wake up my kid) I have noticed than even I train in arena regularly. The fact to don't be friend to anyone have gives me a disavantage about knowledge and pvp tips. (The double gun glitch combo, the fast reload by switching or empty hand and detain the gun again like thee digging)... This kind of glitches. And not having a discord make it hard to plan good none toxic tdm. Where every body just assume it's skills to chose double gun and force other player to double gun as well even if they more talented about sword. ( Who also need skill as well) example your dodge out ladder are a stupid usefull tip I should have figure out by myself with my knowledge. But I never thought about it and your video told me it thanks. If you can give some advanced tip video about double gun, tdm, what ever tip I might not know as many not regular players, I would appreciate ! :) Great job in this video u really deserve subscriptions to your chanel! Gg
Kegs are high risk high reward options. They saved us many times because we stacked them up and had multiply tries to sneak on board while being chased across the sea. Storing them on your crowsnest isnt so damaging either, sure your mast falls down but you can repair and there is only some fire on the deck. BUT if someone knows what they are doing and board you they can use the kegs against you, so kegs are more a tool for a surprise attack or a last effort option when the enemy has outnumbered you but i would never say, dont use them ever.
Ok 1. 3 years later and this video really helped me out And 2. I didn't even realize this was blurbs until 5 min in when he shows his face 😂 dude sounds so different back then compared to now.
Fire bombs could be useful for applying pressure tho, becuase they create sort of no-go zones for the enemy players and could force them to backsplash or pause bailing to extinguish the fire.
@@TheEmeraldPixel Definitely. Thats self defense. But spawncamping as a game mechanic is terrible. That's the developers fault 100%. I'm not sure if it exists but spawn immunity should be a thing (~1-2 seconds after spawning). Not too long so that you cant just spawn, jump on their ship and be invincible, but just long enough so you can get a hold of your surroundings and kill whoever is spawncamping you.
I agree, Neo. People can do it, but it is still spineless action to me. Not being able to defend hours of your own time and hard effort is the opposite of fun. Even more so when the enemy crew themselves are glad to destroy your efforts, or even keep your ship afloat to kill you over and over while you try your best to salvage your work. And the best is when a bug within the game makes it impossible to fight back.
In literally any other game I'd agree. However in this game respawning is pretty short and has no penalties making respawning players super dangerous in PVP. If you sit there, let them respawn, and leave them be you basically made your boarding operation pointless as the time you spent doing it is negated by the enemy simply respawning and returning fire. Overall I'd say this is a problem with the game's design, but currently spawn camping is an unfortunate but common part of PVP.
Great video, I’ve been playing this game on and off since launch but I had no idea about that harpoon locking or taking down enemy sails with a chain shot from their own cannons
I’m so happy I bought this game yesterday I’m so pumped to play it looks amazing. A lot to learn tho I’m guna suck for a while especially since I’m a solo
Another thing is that (especially in arena where you only have a few chainshots) is that if you’re trying to knock the mast down (especially on sloops where there’s only 1) aim for the crows nest
I love when some UA-camrs are advising you aim for a particular part of the enemy boat where as I'm lucky if my canon balls end up in the same post code as the enemy.
I like to shoot a fire flask at the cannons and attempting to board, it gives a few seconds unless they are already taking on water. edit:this taking on water thing does not apply to a galleon with water in its bottom deck.
I learned to use my harpoon on the rear side of their ship and I got a ton of hits on their ship, unless they shoot you it's an amazing strat to sink them
you can actually use fire bombs to create panic or like he said, blow up any kegs on board. but when i mean create panic, i mean to make the opposing crew focus on putting out the fire instead of shooting, steering, or repairing.
If you want to calculate the shot when shooting your self to learn the arc of shooting yourself use a chainshot they are roughly the same weight so pretty much identical arc .thats how i practiced in the early days .
You just need a friend to get on board with a keg, get that keg on the crow's nest, and fire bomb. The mast will be downed instantly. You can also put interactables all over their anchor to make it harder for them to flee.
Putting your sail into the wind, yeah, that does not make sense, but knowing that would have saved me from the reapers. I tried to catch the wind. Thanks for the tips.
Another good tool for getting players off your ship (especially in the crows nest) is the blunderbomb. My friend went up there and threw one, and nocked the guy right off and we were able to escape!
I want to be honest I was top 3000 reapers and if I see anyone they are stopping or not on board so you don´t have to do so much just get the sails and it is all fine but it is a great video
I just started and on my second mission, a gallion destroyed my poor sloop. So I was stranded on the island. I was lucky enough to have a friendly sailor come around and teach me some stuff.
You can pick up a dropped barrel and defuse it immediately so using a barrel to blow up a ship must be a no return mission that shouldn’t be done solo cause you leave your ship empty so sometime. The barrel problem of you hit the barrel i carry and it blows up in your ship or i blow it up in my hands no defusing it. Dropping a barrel underneath a passing ship thats chasing you does so much damage and makes them change directions just got to underwater enough that you arent seen easily. The only time I’ve ever had a problem with my own barrels even on or in the ship instead of the crows nest was when i was fighting an ashen lord and even then it only took out the mast that wasn’t being used.
@@harrybartlett197 no not because he is better he legit is just a d*ck in this game i play for fun and even help people out but this guy is just sweating constandly lol
dont aim for the same place on their ship. it won't necessarily make more holes if you've maxed out the holes in the front for example. all it does then is making it harder to repair. if you shoot all over they need to run around. and while they repair, you might make 2 more holes. when I hit them in the front, I aim for the back. now they might have multiple holes in the front and multiple holes in the back. their repair guy has to run all over the ship between holes which opens them up to take in too much water than they can possibly handle. works well on skeletal to
Something I do with firebombs is when I mean to board I will stock up, and once on drop and fire their anchor, and since they have holes already and fire is now everywhere they aren’t thinking rationally to go out out the capstain their just running
amazing video and im not nearly as experienced as you but i still feel you didnt do fire bombs justice as i find those are extremely helpful at taking down a ship solo, while they do almost no hull damage they drop masts and disable anchoring and steering like a mf as well as the afore mentioned chaos created by them
I have a nice tip: when someone is chasing u, run to the bowsprit and sword hop behind them. This will likely make them confused and it will give u a free sword charge.
In my experiance the crew that board first and start spawn killing always win. If the enemies are all dead at the same time is pretty much over. Unless they decide to waste time and respawn toogheter
Great tips, however you lost me a spawn camping. I get it's how it works and it's easy but the ability to repair someone else's ship just to spawn camp and kill them is disgusting. At least change what you can do to other players ships. Dropping anchor, steering, cannons and sails are fine but being able to keeps someone's ship from sinking just to trap them is cheap imo. I know you can scuttle and be done.
@@MrPancakeYT well yeah, but the fact that you *can* do that is a problem, because people will do it. It’s not that often that somebody is this toxic, but sometimes they are.
@@nickmcnally7808 well yeah, but that's not relevant to what was said in the video, which is what this comment was kinda criticizing. If I win the initial boarding fight, I'll spawn camp to cement my win. Sucks for the opponents, but the same can happen to me. If you lose the fight, you better have a way to get out of the situation or lose the ship.
I don't use chain shot because it always leads to me losing a mast I'm always at 50 ping and occasionally a cannonball or a chainsaw will fly right back at me when I've just gotten 16 ft away from a ship glad I can't fire at me and then all of a sudden fire bomb to the face it gets annoying but it doesn't happen often but that's just my reason I don't use chain shot because my shot can also fly back at me I've actually found that if you hit a player occasionally that player will be chained up and if you're extremely lucky and then next to the sale it'll take three players to unchain them
Chicken little things that can actually happen in fact it's actually happened in real life if you don't want to deal with the crew tie them up that's my logic
I'd say firebombs are good after you've done a ton of consistent damage. Just to add on to the things they need to focus on. Skilled players can usually handle it, but not the others.
I think firebombs are good because it keeps the players distracted so i can move my ship to the other side to buy me some time to repair and then i’d open fire
See I just came back into the game from a 2 year hiatus. Before the chainshots, the fire, and the capstan,mast, and anchor damage. The gun powder barrels were useful back then cause it had little to no risk. I kinda don't like this new way but it is what it is. Now its more about dropping mast and breaking anchors. And when someone drops your broken anchor now you might as well just leave the server
At my first pvp match with an enemy sloop duo I matched up with some guys cooking a boarding with some kegs, you can imagine what happened when I shot some fireballs at them 😂

Did not know about harpoon locking... nice.
I discovered it accidentally. Felt like such a big brain when it happened
dudeee sameeee had no idea till now
It turns out there are lot's of things that you can do with the harpoon, that I did not know you could do lmao, time to grind!
Same
I did
"Wait... that's not a skeleton ship."
"No, it's my ship."
such a nice move and perfect sword lunge
Lol
Certainly a contender for the Best Pirate I've Ever Seen award
"No, You can talk while you're dead, it's fine."

@Ruska Enjoy the frienship i never had.

the key thing i learned from this video was i didnt know you could LOCK the harpoon by pressing x
damn that's useful!

I did not know this either. Very useful to know. Especially if you attempt to go faster to someplace by Harpooning a Megalodon. This would especially be so if you're trying to escape from a Kraken and a Megalodon spawns on you.

3:18 I'd add that fireballs are perfect to deny control of the anchor and the steering wheel + a lot of monitinors have a crosshair feature which makes aiming cannons and harpoons so much easier
I can feel my immersion dying at the thought of a crosshair.

This guys videos are so addicting- automatic sub.
Just got the game on gamepass and your vids made me leagues better than friends who are just getting their sea legs too.
Great stuff man
Since I began arena on school nights (I save adventure mode for the weekend) my cannon aim has been on point. Super entertaining, thanks!
Also, if you hold block with a cutlass while grabbing the ladder of an enemy ship it will mute the splash sound it makes
Ok 1. 3 years later and this video really helped me out

Thanks a lot for the tips, trying to get better and feel more confident in pvp situations instead of being so passive
1:36 I already did this, but it's nice that it's in a tips video so I feel like I'm on the right track to fine tuning my pvp game on the seas.
Kegs are good if you're looking to surprise the enemy. They can be very risky but if you manage to get a hit with one on their hull it can be brutal
i sneak onto the ship, set off a keg, take their most valuable item, and run
@@ritter3723 ah yes, the classic “blow and go.”
@@nickmcnally7808 yes
Yo great video my dad said that he and his friend 1v4 you and that you said it was the greatest fight that you’ve had since the alpha

Fire bombs could be useful for applying pressure tho, becuase they create sort of no-go zones for the enemy players and could force them to backsplash or pause bailing to extinguish the fire.
Self chain shotting the boat is genius👌
Truly excellent vid, both informative and hilarious!...”No that’s my ship, OK GOTTA GOooo!” 😂🤣
I get that spawncamping is supposed to be how the game works, but it is still honorless and disgusting to me. Same applies to fighting in outposts.
OK, but is it ok if I sink them at an outpost if they fired first?

iiiiiiii
finally a tip video that shows tips that i haven't known since i started playing
Great video, I’ve been playing this game on and off since launch but I had no idea about that harpoon locking or taking down enemy sails with a chain shot from their own cannons
That harpoon thing was really helpful because I didn’t notice a big rock in the way so they crashed into the rock
I’m so happy I bought this game yesterday I’m so pumped to play it looks amazing. A lot to learn tho I’m guna suck for a while especially since I’m a solo
The last one was great, makes harpoons very useful
Another thing is that (especially in arena where you only have a few chainshots) is that if you’re trying to knock the mast down (especially on sloops where there’s only 1) aim for the crows nest
thank you so much. i had 0 idea i could lock the harpoon. this and the other tips will help a gr8 deal. im only on day 4 so thank you so much!
I love when some UA-camrs are advising you aim for a particular part of the enemy boat where as I'm lucky if my canon balls end up in the same post code as the enemy.
Mate your videos are awesome - brilliant tutorials.
I know lots of combat tactics already but I did not know about harpoon locking, Thanks
I like to shoot a fire flask at the cannons and attempting to board, it gives a few seconds unless they are already taking on water. edit:this taking on water thing does not apply to a galleon with water in its bottom deck.

You just need a friend to get on board with a keg, get that keg on the crow's nest, and fire bomb. The mast will be downed instantly. You can also put interactables all over their anchor to make it harder for them to flee.
Downloading the game now, so naturally this is the video for me
Putting your sail into the wind, yeah, that does not make sense, but knowing that would have saved me from the reapers. I tried to catch the wind. Thanks for the tips.

I have a nice tip: when someone is chasing u, run to the bowsprit and sword hop behind them. This will likely make them confused and it will give u a free sword charge.
If there’s A galleon chasing your sloop and if he’s right behind you drop a keg so they stop to repair then escape while they repair and bucket
@@Emperoroleary the keg will not change their direction/drop their masts so you wont be able to escape any faster
sounds like a xbox tip lol...
This is an awesome guide. Thank you!
In my experiance the crew that board first and start spawn killing always win. If the enemies are all dead at the same time is pretty much over. Unless they decide to waste time and respawn toogheter
Sick video man. You should do a video on badass harpoon turn mechanics or like cannoning to forts to use their cannons on enemies. I'd watch it.
Having a meg against the other ship while you’re shooting at it must be the best feeling ever
THE MEGALODN THO LMAO 1:14 anyways thanks for the video really helped me
This man is sooooo helpful
he forgot step one! :already be a god at aiming the bloody cannons
Practise on the ghost ships. Lots of moving targets, relatively low risk
I love your ship.
Also thx those Tips are great!
How did you center the helm so perfectly at 0:38?!
theres pieces of wood at the side of the ladders on the mast i normally use that to centre my mast and use the mast to centre the wheel
i like those skelly cannons also, because it gives me a better sense of aim
I prob learned the ladder trick and the splash effect what actually are really helpful
really good video, thanks for the tips
This guy is a cannon menace
Im not a pvp player but it'll be good to defend my haul when heading back

It's always when I'm bout to end my voyage, when a grade 5 player or a skeleton ship attacks me
Thats where i go wrong i dont stay on the back of there ship when i kill them learnt a phew new things thankyou
I use firebombs to cause chaos when they are fighting me so the have less people to man cannons/wheel
I don't use chain shot because it always leads to me losing a mast I'm always at 50 ping and occasionally a cannonball or a chainsaw will fly right back at me when I've just gotten 16 ft away from a ship glad I can't fire at me and then all of a sudden fire bomb to the face it gets annoying but it doesn't happen often but that's just my reason I don't use chain shot because my shot can also fly back at me I've actually found that if you hit a player occasionally that player will be chained up and if you're extremely lucky and then next to the sale it'll take three players to unchain them
Chicken little things that can actually happen in fact it's actually happened in real life if you don't want to deal with the crew tie them up that's my logic
3:56 its a part of your sword guide !
I'm here to learn. Because "If you can't beat em, join em".
I'd say firebombs are good after you've done a ton of consistent damage. Just to add on to the things they need to focus on. Skilled players can usually handle it, but not the others.
Those chainshots are godly holy shit
