What is a Hostile Takeover in Skull and Bones

A Hostile Takeover is a world event in Skull and Bones where you need to damage a Manufacturing Territory while competing against other players doing the same. It rewards players who deal the highest damage on the territory and generates Pieces of Eight for them, which is a valuable resource in Skull and Bones.

Hostile Takeover: How to win

We recommend you take your best DPS ships, like a Padewakang, since they have the potential to create an explosion with their perk and target the defenses of the area.

To take over the place, you must defeat both AI foes and PvP players in the region. The winner of the event is determined by who defeats the most foes during the event. Killing other players participating in the event will reduce the number of opponents they may have to defeat.

Some challenges that players face in a Hostile Takeover are:

• Defending against hostile ships, since the conquered player and other pirates may assault you in an attempt to recover the Manufacturing Territory.
• Destroying defensive towers in the Manufacturing Territory as they will deal damage in the Hostile Takeover and mark your capture progress.
• Other pirates who might be participating in the conflict attempting to capture the territory for themselves.

Rewards that players can get after a successful Hostile Takeover:

• Players can dictate the Manufacturing Territory's production as this generates revenue for them to utilize in the game.
• They are rewarded with Pieces of Eight which help unlock high-quality gear from the Helm.

Players need to ensure they have a high Infamy level, select a high DPS ship, and prepare for the Manufacturing Territory ahead of time. They can focus on removing the Tower defenses to speed up the Hostile Takeover in Skull and Bones. Combining the destruction of the towers while defending yourself from hostile ships is a priority. Every pirate is on their own on the high seas.
