![]() ![]() This time my sniper shot was well-timed: I took out the pirate before he could sell the stronghold chest. I'd be putting in no work at all because I'm a filthy rat. The sloop crew had sunk the galleon and taken all that treasure! And now I was going to try to take it from them, even though they'd put in the hard work of killing the pirates who'd put in the hard work to take down the fort. Several minutes later, I saw the sloop making its way toward the outpost where I'd scuttled my ship and was waiting. I could make out some distant cannonfire and through my spyglass I saw the masts of the galleon fall over. Shortly after the skull cloud vanished, I saw a sloop headed toward the fort. I had two explosive barrels this time, so I thought I'd try my ambush again. I was heading toward Plunder Outpost, ready to call it a night, and I saw yet another galleon over at Lost Gold Fort. Less than a week later, I wound up in almost the exact same situation again. I only got a few pieces of low-value treasure out before the rest of the crew killed me. The rest of the treasure was in a rowboat that had been lowered to the water, but it was so crammed with loot I couldn't grab the stuff I really wanted. When I scurried over, there was nothing there but his dissipating ghost. He'd managed to sell the crate a moment before he died. I fired a sniper round and detonated the barrel, which killed him instantly, but I'd let him get too close to the tent. I'd guessed right: the first pirate off the galleon headed to merchant's tent carrying the expensive stronghold chest. It all worked perfectly except for the part where I completely failed. I used the sleeping emote to lie down, and watched as they sailed over and docked. Then I hopped onto a roof of one of the vendors where I had a clear shot at the barrel I'd placed. I scuttled my ship on the far side of the island so my mast wouldn't give me away. I figured they would probably bring the most valuable chest to the merchant's tent first, so I placed an explosive barrel inside the tent. ![]() Plus, I had some explosive barrels with me-when I play solo I always pick up a few in case I get chased by other players. I realized I could be there waiting for them and their treasure-filled ship. ![]() It would probably only take them a few minutes to load their ship and sail over. It occurred to me that they'd probably head straight to Plunder Outpost, where I was, to sell everything. As I arrived at Plunder, the big skull cloud over the fort vanished, which meant the galleon crew had won. As I got close to Plunder Outpost, I noticed a player galleon anchored near the fort, which meant a crew was there battling waves of skeletons for a massive pile of loot. It was Plunder Outpost, which is right next to Lost Gold Fort, a skeleton stronghold. I was done playing for the night, so I headed toward the nearest outpost to sell the remaining loot I had. It's an enjoyable solo loop, perfect for an hour or two of low-stakes play. Then I'd head to seaposts and outposts to sell what I'd found, and along the way I'd usually fight a kraken or a megalodon and gather a bit more loot from them. I'd been playing solo, sailing around in my little sloop, pulling treasure out of randomly spawning shipwrecks. The first time I ambushed pirates at an outpost in Sea of Thieves, months ago, it wasn't really my plan. ![]()
