Cannonball Radial - When docked to a cannon, players can now select which type of cannonball to load from the nifty new radial menu.Cannon radial no longer sticks on a player's screen if they are knocked away from a cannon.Cannons should now recoil correctly when firing, and visual effects from Firebombs should now appear when loaded into a Cannon.Players can now hold the Secondary Use button to focus their aim by zooming in on their target."These cannons strike fear into the hearts of all who spy them - and that's before they start firing." The following are all the available Cosmetic Cannon Variants in Sea of Thieves: As of Season 7, Sloops only receive 2 hits of damage from chainshots. Shooting a Mast via Cannon will cause damage, causing the Mast to break and fall over in 3 Cannonball hits or 1 Chainshot hit against a Brigantine or a Galleon.Kiting them in a pool of water before firing a Cannonball will make quick work of them. Gold Skeletons have a special weakness vs Cannons.Players attacking Sloops can use this knowledge to their advantage and players piloting Sloops should use this knowledge to guard their ship's weaknesses. Players on top deck can get knocked off their ship from Cannon fire. You can be shot by cannon fire while on the wheel, the anchor, the sails, or even while repairing holes in the bottom deck. The Sloop and Brigantine are extremely vulnerable to attacks from the rear.Hitting the same spot over and over only widens an existing hole (although it will prevent the other crew from patching that one hole temporarily), but it does not speed up the buildup of water that much, it is better to leave the ship with more holes to fix. This can be made easier with Ballastballs. Attacking the first deck is far less effective without hitting the second. When fighting Galleons, plan and aim your cannonballs just below the waterline on the opposing ship first.Blunderbombs can accumulate enough force when used with a Cannon to blast a Ship off course without dealing any holes. Firebombs can be used with Cannons to spread Fire at a larger distance. Throwable Grenades can also be launched through Cannons to increase their firing distance. Green Cursed Cannonballs are focused on effects that hinder Players or Skeletons, Purple Cursed Cannonballs are focused on effects hindering the Sailing of a Ship. Players can use Cursed Cannonballs with Cannons to apply different cursed effects to Ships, Players or Skeletons. Chainshot do half the damage of a single Cannonball to the Hull or Players though. Chainshot are specialised Cannonballs that have a lower firing arc and distance, but are capable of dealing maximum damage to the Wheel, Capstan or Masts. Each of these Ship Components can take up to three points of damage from regular Cannonballs. Planks must be used to repair damaged components while the Sails need to be hoisted to the upright position before repairs can start. Hit the Mast to hinder your opponent's sailing speed, strike the Wheel to make it harder to steer or damage the Capstan to limit the number of Players able to raise it. Cannons on islands and Cannon Towers are naturally easier to operate than on vessels.Ĭannons aren't only used punch holes in a ship's hull, they're also powerful enough to cripple various parts to hamper a ship performance. Usually this is done by leading (aiming ahead of the target). Players can also launch Pets out of cannons.Īs Cannonballs are treated as ballistic projectiles, the laws of physics must be obeyed in order to be effective Therefore, Players will need to take into account ship movement of both theirs and the target, gravity and speed of their shot. Outside combat, Cannons can be used to launch players to their destinations be wary that Players can still suffer from fall damage if they fall high enough but they won't take damage from impact. Cannons can be loaded with a single Cannonball, Cursed Cannonball, Chainshot, Blunderbomb, Firebomb, or Firework t a time. These cannons are also, almost always, operated by Skeletons while the fort is active.Ĭannons are your ship's main offence against Skeleton Ships, other Player Pirates, Megalodons, and Skeletons. Cannons are also a prominent feature on most Forts, where they're often found cannon towers or mounted along the outer walls where they play a major role to deter enemy ships from raiding the inner boundaries.Some Islands have cannon emplacements as coastal defenses, which are often operated by Skeletons and increase the difficulty for approaching the island or act as a hindrance to those passing by.
Cannons can be found as the standard equipment on Ships and Cannon Rowboats.
