There are all kinds of weapons you can use on your ship in Skull and Bones, but if you want the best option for close quarters, the Flamethrower is hard to beat. My guide will go over how you can get the weapon and some alternatives to use in the meantime.
Where to Get the Flamethrower in Skull and Bones
You can get the Flamethrower by boarding and defeating the Ghost Ship. If you have the Oceans Apart contract, you can search for the spooky pirate crew when nightfall hits the open ocean. It is mandatory to at least have a level 8 ship, and so the fight won’t be easy, and you must prepare. The most important part is for you to board the ship. Based on what players have seen in the game so far, boarding the ship with your crew increases your chances of earning the Ghost Flamethrower.
If you don’t get the weapon on your first try, there’s no need to worry. You can repeat the Ocean’s Apart contract daily solo, or join a friend who hasn’t completed theirs yet. Because of the rewards that the Ghost Ship and the Sea Monster provide, there are always players attempting to grind them out. Just look out for calls for help on the map if you’re a solo player in Skull and Bones.
Those who can’t yet take on the Ghost Ship can still get a lesser version of the Flamethrower called Sea Fire. The first Sea Fire blueprint is purchased from the Blacksmith in Telok Penjarah, and it uses oil cannisters as ammunition. Each of the Sea Fire variants essentially does the same thing as the Flamethrower with less power. So, if it’s fire you want, you can always craft it yourself.
Eventually, you can use all that fire to start collecting Sovereigns in the Skull and Bones end game.
