Skull And Bones – Ship Types And Cannon Types Explained
One of the main progression paths in Skull and Bones is upgrading your ship and its equipment. At the start of the game, you’re left to sail the seas on a small raft, but eventually, you can build a behemoth of a vessel with cannons, furniture, armor, and more.
Along the way on this journey, you’re presented with several different ship types as well as a variety of weapons, mostly consisting of cannons. It’s important to understand what these ship types mean and what the difference is between one cannon and another so you can build a ship perfectly designed to your needs and playstyle. Below, you can see a list of every different ship and cannon type in Skull and Bones.
All Ship Types in Skull and Bones
From everything we’ve seen so far in Skull and Bones, there are three primary ship types: DPS, Tank, and Support. Every class of ship is given one of these types, which determines how large the ship is and what its special perks might be. For example, a Support ship such as the Sentinel has the perk “Unburden,” which “restores severe damage by 0.5% and hull health by 0.5% per second.” Because Support ships specialize in aiding friendly ships, their perks are usually centered around healing in some way.
