Some Spectacular Ship Sabotage In The Sea Of Thieves
By TJ Denzer ·
Having problems with being chased by pirates in the Sea of Thieves Beta? Here's a novel solution: Sneak aboard the enemy ship with some gunpowder and blow those poor saps to smithereens like this player did!
The Sea of Thieves Beta on Xbox One and PC has gone swimmingly as players form pirate crews and discover the full possibilities of what they can do in the game. Take the crew in this play for instance. They were being chased by some aggressive buccaneers on the high seas who were laying into them with cannon fire. What did they do? Why they made a special delivery to the enemy ship... in the form of an explosive powderkeg. (Warning: Mind the coarse language)

In this instance, CrReaM jumped into action against the enemy pirate ship. He grabbed a powderkeg and went overboard. It was a long shot to say the least (and stamina while swimming with a powderkeg in the ocean might be better considered in the full release), but CrReaM swam the keg across a long stretch to the enemy ship. Once he arrived, he boarded the ship, ran down into the lower decks with his powderkeg, dropped it off among other kegs and barrels, stepped outside onto the main deck, and gave the keg a shot from his pistol to ignite a tremendous explosion. It killed everyone just above deck who was manning either the gun's or the ships wheel. Sure they could have tried to make a turn on their own ship and engage the enemy crew, but why not use their own ship against them and blow it sky high with a little quick thinking and ingenuity? If this is the kind of creativity and chaos we can expect to sow in Sea of Theives, we can't wait to play.
