Skull and Bones tier list: Ship weapons

This Skull and Bones ship weapons tier list might be beneficial for you to complete the quests and events in the game. The ongoing Cutthroat Cargo event in Skull and Bones requires massive firepower to win prizes, and knowing which overpowered weapons to use can help you strengthen your position.

All Deck weapons

Weapons under this category are used for short-range combat. They offer crowd damage at close range, which you might consider using while cornering the enemy ship. All Deck weapons can also be used in mid-range combat, but the damage-dealing might be ineffective. They are available on all sides of your ship (broadside, bow, stern, and auxiliary).

Here is what the tier list for All Deck weapons looks like:

• S-tier: Demi Cannon, Vogel Greif, Zamzama
• A-tier: Flooding Demi Cannon, Carronade, Basilisk, Tearing Culverin
• B-tier: Culverin

Top Deck weapons

Top Deck weapons are used for long-range combat. You can use them to deal lethal damage to enemy ships from a distance and prevent them from escaping. Your opponents might try to cut back from behind your ship, but these weapons can stall their attacks to help you regroup and move your ship to a defensive position.

Here’s how the Top Deck weapons tier list looks like:

• S-tier: Long Gun, Scurlock’s Chasers, Scurlock’s Long Nines, Dardanelles Gun, Rahma’s Ambition, Rahma’s Legacy
• A-tier: Fire Long Gun, Torpedo, Shalei, Mons Meg, Bombard
• B-tier: Repair Long Gun, Fire Bombard, Repair Bombard

Bow weapons

Bow weapons are available at the front of your ship. They can be used for both short- and long-range combat.

Here's the tier list for these weapons in Skull and Bones:

• S-tier: Sea Fire, Kallinikos Flame, Blue Specter, Twin-winch Ballista
• A-tier: Ballista, Great Springald

Auxiliary weapons

Auxiliary weapons are the backup options in your ship. They are often treated as the last resort during combat. Due to their long reload time, players barely use them as primary weapons. However, you can use them to support struggling allies and push enemies behind.

Here is the tier list for Auxiliary weapons:

• S-tier: Mortar, Leopold, Rocket
• A-tier: Termites
• B-tier: Repair Mortar

Choosing S-tier weapons for every section of your ship might not be wise in the late game. Therefore, you must select a weapon combination that covers all bases, including crowd control, short-range, long-range, mid-range, and defense.

Additionally, keep in mind that certain weapons might not be available on your ship. Thus, obtaining a powerful ship is crucial. Feel free to check out our Skull and Bones ships tier list.
