Bro deadass me and a homie of mine were hunting animals and we see this sloop heading for our booty so we sailed to NGSO to sell and we dropped of the animals off except for one black pig! So we had to leave the boat on auto-pirate in order to sell and fortunately after a short naval battle we were sble to sell oir pig and get some gold, Yipicaya!

[@Zollin2400]

Awesome!

[@josephhurst4902]

Dont forget to use Firebombs. yes is stupid shot, but if you light the ship on fire then he has an additional problem to deal with WHILE patching his ship.

[@Zollin2400]

Tbh, I feel that fire bombs are mostly useless unless in PvE or when fighting a galleon. Since it gives them more places to throw the water away. Also, if you're shooting fire bombs instead of cannonballs, they have less holes to repair, and there's no chance of them getting one balled while you're firing fire bombs. Only on a galleon is the fire an actual nuisance.

[@PhantonBlox]

nice bro pro player

[@WillieWest.]

Lmao nice Is that just the video or can you actually put like a filter esk kinda thing on Sea? Played since 2017 still have a dark ass normal monitor is that a monitor thing

[@Zollin2400]

I play with a bit more saturation, cuz I have monkey brain and I like colors. I have the green-red color blind filter on in the settings in game. But besides that, I changed no color settings for the video itself.

[@EMANXD]

I wish I could be good at this damn game.

[@Zollin2400]

Honestly, I'd recommend practicing pvp in the new pvp "mode"! It'd really improve your skills in time! And of course you can always look up tips and tutorials that can teach you to outsmart your opponent!

[@Zollin2400]

I'm sorry, I don't remember the nametags! Do you remember saying what they said in the video?

[@lee6781]

This guy right here is improperly using his blunderbombs. Notice how every time he shoots the ship with blunderbombs it causes the opponent ship to turn That's why it's wrong. Every time this happens it increases the time it takes to sink someone and does not kill them fast enough, sandbag your opponent's faces with cannonballs instead. 😎

[@Zollin2400]

While that is often an issue when you are in certain circumstances. But in my circumstance, I was alone, and I needed to keep their ship in my angle. Using blunderbombs kept them in my view in that moment of trying to kill the only person on the ship at the time. If I didn't use blunder bombs, and only used cannon balls, I wouldn't have been able to do enough damage before the ship would have lost my angle. If I hadn't used the blunderbombs, I might have lost that fight. But yes, you do make a good point of knowing when to launch blunderbombs. So many people often lose their angle by the use of their blunderbombs. But this was one of the times when blunder bombs save angle.

[@TrumanCrafts]

People don't realise yet that the deadliest players in the game are merchants. A merchant always know what's going on around then and they know how to protect all cargo live or not

[@yuuzinh5268]

Recently I went full commodity run while solo, but before departing from Outpost, I saw a cannot boat with 4 plp on it (a Reaper's Galleon was not far away doing Fortune's Fort and they thought it was a good idea to sunk a solo sloop who just spawned). Immediately reacted by getting my commodities, got my sniper and killed two of them while they where approaching with the boat, I got board and killed and managed to kill one of them, my boat had 4 holes and the last guy (sweaty "try-harder" double gunner with skelly curse) was taking my ship next to their ship while killing me, but I managed to hold my dear sloop from sinking while shooting at him, he jump off my sloop as soon he saw another sloop emissary shooting their galleon to dust, I immediately backed up and went on my run safely

[@yuuzinh5268]

I guess that's the best example of "don't f*ck with this solo merchant" XD
