In the open-world pirate game Skull and Bones, players command their own ships and engage in intense naval combat. One aspect of the game that players often have questions about is how to effectively utilize all gunports on their ships. This post from Reddit user tipasa1337 addresses this very issue.
Summary
- Guns under the “top deck” tab can only be installed on the top deck’s ports.
- Culverins and demicannons use all gun ports.
- Longuns and bombards are restricted to the spaces on top.
Understanding the Gunport System
The Reddit user BigFudge028 comments that there is nothing wrong with the gunport system and credits Ubisoft’s ingenuity. However, another user, Phoenix-624, provides a more detailed explanation.
According to Phoenix-624, culverins and demicannons use all gun ports on the ship, allowing players to maximize their firepower. On the other hand, guns under the “top deck” tab, like longuns and bombards, can only be installed on the top deck’s ports. This limitation means that players can only shoot two or three times on some ships when using longuns on the broadsides. In contrast, culverins allow for five or six shots before reloading.
Phoenix-624 further adds that demicannons provide a full broadside every shot, thereby not showing any difference in the number of shots. However, this may vary depending on the ship, but it holds true for medium ships.
Tips for Maximizing Firepower
If players want to make the most of their gunports in Skull and Bones, they should consider the following strategies:
- Use culverins and demicannons for maximum firepower.
- When using longuns and bombards, position them on the top deck’s ports to utilize them effectively.
- Experiment with different ships to see how gunports differ and strategize accordingly.
By understanding the gunport system and making smart choices in positioning guns, players can enhance their combat abilities in Skull and Bones.
So next time you set sail in the open seas, make sure to utilize all your gunports wisely and blow your enemies out of the water!
