Sea of thieves pvp arena tactics

#Sea of thieves pvp arena tactics update

Downing a player will score you five silver – and if that player isn’t revived, you’ll add another five silver to your tally when they head to the Ferry of the Damned. Of course, combat’s another way to score, and with a shortened contest time comes the potential for very tight margins between winning and losing. If you’re going down, there’s a lot more to lose than time – which is precious enough in these new 15-minute contests! Sinking will deduct 1000 silver from your overall score, so make sure someone on your team is managing the patching and bailing. If you’ve cashed in a Sea Dog Chest (1000 silver), all your hard work will be undone if you let your ship go under later in the contest. Your second tip is, simply, try to avoid sinking. While scoring silver is important in The Arena, holding on to it is key to your success. There’s only one delivery point in The Arena now, so once you’ve got the chest, everyone else will know where you’re heading. There’s no more X Marks the Spot mechanism for finding the chest, so following the bright beacon to the booty is the easy bit – it’s getting your hands on it and selling it before it’s snatched that’s the challenge! Cash it in successfully and you’ll score 1000 silver. While bagging the chest first puts you on the front foot, remember that it also paints a target on your back. With a reduced contest time, you need to be scoring silver in any way you can – and each successfully landed cannonball awards 40 silver to your team. If other crews are racing you to the chest, that also gives you opportunities to score silver by landing shots on their ships. A popular tactic is to start the contest by racing towards the beacon, even if you’re not sure you’ll be there first that doesn’t necessarily matter, as stealing the chest back is perfectly possible should another crew swoop in before you. As soon as you progress from the Glorious Sea Dog Tavern into The Arena, get your anchor up and set sail. While we want pirates to ultimately discover their own recipes for success, with these changes in mind, we thought it’d be a good idea to offer some up some top tips for tackling the revitalised format!įirst tip: every moment counts, so use your time wisely. Matches are now only 15 minutes long, the arenas themselves are smaller, the silver gains for ship battling have been upped, and there’s now only one Sea Dog Chest available to nab at all times, indicated by an ever-present bright purple beacon.

#Sea of thieves pvp arena tactics update

With April’s Ships of Fortune update came a whole host of changes to format of The Arena, and while the basic principles have remained intact (the crew that finishes with the most silver wins), some of the tools and tactics for increasing your silver score have evolved. Spearheaded by Lesedi and DeMarco Singh, the Sea Dogs are the ones to impress with your silver-winning ways – and as you win matches and rise through the ranks, you’ll be rewarded with Sea Dogs Commendations and striking cosmetics. The next chapter of The Arena is here! Originally introduced with the great Anniversary Update of 2019, The Arena is Sea of Thieves’ purest PvP experience, pitting pirates against one another in – you guessed it – an arena for fast-paced, action-focused play.

Xbox Game Pass: New Games for May 2021 Revealed

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Xbox Game Pass is Microsoft’s subscription service for Xbox One owners. It’s designed to be like a “Netflix for games,” where you pay a simple monthly rate and get access to loads of games for download. It’s not to be confused with the Xbox Live Gold membership, which gives users a selection of free games each month.

There has been a huge surge in popularity and profile for Xbox Game Pass since its launch, mainly due to the diverse list of games and first-party exlusives on the service. In fact, Microsoft drops new releases from its own internal studios onto the service on day one! Sea of Thieves was the first example of this, followed by State of Decay 2 and Crackdown 3. Since then, the service has seen the day one launch of several other high-profile Xbox exclusives, including Gears 5, The Outer Worlds, and Halo: Reach on the Halo: The Master Chief Collection.

Membership to Xbox Game Pass will set you back $9.99 per month. You can now also get an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription for $1 for the first month and $14.99 every month after that. The subscription includes an Xbox Live Gold membership as well as all of the games offered on Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass for PC. Plus, with cloud support, you can play a selection of Xbox Game Pass titles on your Android phone. And now you even get access to titles on EA Play, the third-party publisher’s own on-demand service.

New games are added each month to Xbox Game Pass. Here are the games coming in May (with descriptions courtesy of the Xbox team):

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });
