In Dead Sails, hand-to-hand combat isn't going to cut it. To take down mobs and secure the best loot, you need to be armed and ready. The developers have kept the weapon selection manageable, each with a unique purpose. Here’s a breakdown of the weapons available, their uses, and where to find them:
**Name** | **Where to get it** | **Info** |
*Shotgun* | Costs 30 Dabloons at the Shop Store in any safe zone | Unmatched at close range, it's perfect for nighttime mob rushes. |
*Shotgun Ammo* | Available for 25 Dabloons at the Shop Store or from a special boat | Comes in batches of 12 rounds, so use them wisely. |
*Revolver* | Costs 20 Dabloons or $35 (in-game currency) | Only holds 4 bullets per barrel, making it a unique choice. |
*Revolver Ammo* | 15 Dabloons or $15 at any Shop Store in a town | Just 4 bullets, so make each shot count. |
*Rifle* | Available at the Shop Store for $75 or 25 Dabloons | Versatile for long-range sniping and decent at mid-range. |
*Rifle Ammo* | Costs 25 Dabloons or $35 in-game money | Refills your rifle, more generous than revolver ammo. |
*Grenade* | Costs 15 Dabloons at the Shop Store | Ideal for clearing out buildings; mobs will scatter when it's thrown. |
*Dynamite* | Purchase for 15 Dabloons at the Shop Store or start as a Miner class | A powerful explosive for clearing obstacles and dealing massive damage. |
*Turret* | Costs vary by type, available at every Shop Store | A static machine gun for your boat, high RPM, requires a player to operate. |
While I appreciate the simplicity of Dead Sails, a bit more variety in armor would be welcome. Currently, there are only two types of armor available. Here's what you can get:
**Name** | **Where to get it** | **Info** |
*Chestplate* | 75 Dabloons at the Shop Store | Reduces damage from enemies, but won't save you from instant death. |
*Helmet* | 75 Dabloons at the Shop Store | Decreases overall damage taken, very effective when paired with the chestplate. |
Boats in Dead Sails are more than just transport; they're also oversized inventory bags. With a team, you can ferry loot back and forth to sell later. While they don't differ in speed or size, their aesthetics set them apart:
**Name** | **Where to get it** | **Info** |
*Default* | Comes with the game, no purchase necessary | A solid starter boat until you get the hang of things |
*Military* | 150 Dabloons in the starting lobby | Adds a touch of camouflage to your journey |
*Junk* | 150 Dabloons in the starting lobby | Looks like a mess, but it's yours to command |
*Modern Boat* | 150 Dabloons in the starting lobby | A sleek alternative to the default boat |
*Dragon Boat* | 150 Dabloons in the starting lobby | A unique fusion of Mickey Mouse and Viking aesthetics |
*Rubber Duckie* | 150 Dabloons in the starting lobby | Arguably the coolest boat in the game |
*Viking Boat* | 150 Dabloons in the starting lobby | Comes with shields, spears, and a dragon carving |
*Empress* | 150 Dabloons in the starting lobby | A stylish pink boat for a regal loot-gathering experience |
*Sheep* | 150 Dabloons in the starting lobby | Every fleet needs its quirky black sheep |
*Shark Boat* | 150 Dabloons in the starting lobby | Sadly, no Baby Shark soundtrack included |
*Bling Boat* | 150 Dabloons in the starting lobby | For those who want to feel like a 2005 hip-hop star |
For extra space to accommodate teammates or loot, consider adding a raft to your arsenal.
If you're looking for more room for zombies, drowned, or just more loot and turrets, rafts are the way to go. Here's what you can currently find in Dead Sails:
**Name** | **Where to get it** | **Info** |
*Default* | Free | Basic storage for loot, no extra features |
*Jail* | 200 Dabloons and 1 win | Great for imprisoning mobs or stacking corpses for fuel |
*Medic* | 300 Dabloons and 3 wins | Provides easy access to bandages and medkits |
*Trader* | 500 Dabloons and 10 wins | Allows you to sell items on the spot, plan purchases in advance |
*Ammo* | 400 Dabloons and 5 wins | Stock up on ammo without waiting for the next safe zone |
Healing items are crucial, whether you're a Medic or not. Here are the options available to keep you in the game longer:
**Name** | **Where to get it** | **Info** |
*Bandage* | 3 Dabloons at the Shop Store or $10 | Provides a 20% health boost, useful when stacked |
*Shark oil* | $35 at the General Store | Fully restores health and gives a temporary speed boost |
*Medkit* | 20 Dabloons | Restores 100% health, best value for money |
Don't overlook the miscellaneous items in Dead Sails; they might not be weapons or healing items, but they're essential for survival:
**Name** | **Where to get it** | **Info** |
*Coal* | 3 Dabloons or $20 at the Shop Store | Protects your ship and provides fuel |
*Shovel* | Starter item for Miner class | Can be used as a weapon, but not very effective |
*Torch* | 3 Dabloons or $10 | Vital for visibility at night |
*Steel* | 10 Dabloons at the Shop Store | Basic protection for your ship |
