Season 12 will be focused on letting you explore new gameplay styles. The 2024 Preview Event revealed two new weapons in Sea of Thieves — the Double Barrel Pistol and Throwing Knife.

Double Barrel Pistol

The Double Barrel Pistol is like a regular Flintlock but with two muzzles. This weapon has two modes: normal and firing. In the former, the gun shoots one bullet, whereas the latter sees it fire both barrels at once. This weapon is short-ranged but can form deadly combos when paired with the Cutlass.

Throwing Knife

A more exciting weapon that was revealed in the Sea of Thieves 2024 Preview Event was the Throwing Knife. This is an extremely versatile weapon and can be used in varied ways:

1. It can be used as a normal melee weapon and has a charged and heavy attack, which is a deadly stab and can pair well with a stealthy approach.
2. As its name suggests, the knife can be thrown (at players). If it hits a target and attaches to them, then the weapon can also be retrieved and used again.

With Sea of Thieves only offering two weapon slots to players, everyone is likely to have a tougher time deciding which to keep as they develop their playstyle with varied combinations of other weapons.

New tools revealed for Season 12 in Sea of Thieves 2024 Preview Event

Three new tools were revealed during the Sea of Thieves 2024 Preview Event, and these are aimed at shaking up the naval combat scenario and making your adventures more bone-chilling. The new tools revealed are the Scattershot, the Bone Caller, and the Wind Caller.

The Scattershot is an ammunition type that comes with multiple miniature cannonballs that can be fired at another ship in naval combat. While it does not do a lot of damage, its shots have a wide spread and create multiple small holes that use up resources faster on enemy ships and require more hands to fix.

Bone Caller

The Bone Caller spawns skeletons that have pledged their allegiance to you. When it is thrown on an island or fired at an enemy ship, a horde of these entities will be spawned that will relentlessly attack your enemies. They function exactly as regular skeletons in Sea of Thieves, but they are on your side now.

Wind Caller

The Wind Caller was the final tool revealed in the Sea of Thieves 2024 Preview Event. This is like a loudspeaker, except it can be used to blow strong gusts of air. It can can do the following:

• Can blow wind into sails and make ships go beyond full bellow.
• Can knock back players if you use it to blow air at them.
• Can be used for self-propulsion for movement, both on land and water.
• Can be used on a rowboat to make it act like a speedboat.
• Can put out fires on a ship.
• Can cushion your fall if you blow at the right time.

The Wind Caller has some kind of a charge mechanism, though, so it cannot be used indefinitely. No additional information has been revealed about its charging system yet, but we hope more information will be available as Season 12 draws near.
