"Well solo slooping was fun, but I want to try a larger ship. I think its time to try an open crew" *Several open crews later* "Solo slooping to Pirate legend it is!"

I became a solo slooper because I have no Freinds, and I'm an introvert.

"try solo slooping" lmao I have no choice

Normally I play with at least one friend. This works well for us because I am incredibly good and sailing/ steering and navigation. He is stupidly good at combat.we always hunt ghost ships and do OOTS quests. Great vid

I've been a solo slooper for years because I was a no-mic. Boy did it pay off when I finally got one a few weeks ago.

Here‘s some of my tips (might overlap with those in the video) 1. Just practice a lot by boarding frequently, trying to stay alive as much as you can etc. 2. Hopping around while fighting and sprinting will make it a bit harder to hit you 3. Play on servers with your ping - if your ping is too high you can basically just forget it and go since it will be harder for you to fight someone. 4. Practice aiming with both your guns and cannons 5. Use the weapons that you feel comfortable with 6. Grab a few blunder bombs 7. Either grab meat or just the best food you have, it will help you stay alive - plus you get some nice regeneration when not in a fight.

I have always been a solo slooper the entirety I have played the game. I have never been that good at PvP and I wanted to improve more, and your guide is really helpful. There is only thing I think you forget that should be mentioned. FIRE. Using fire against a galleon makes it very hard for them to repair anything. It also makes it so they can not shoot you so easily.

Incredible guide, very informative.

Good guide! I found you from your sword video on Reddit. I have something to add about never dropping your anchor. For me, unless I was just unlucky the times I did this, I raised my sail fully and my sloop continued to slightly drift forward several minutes after I railed the sail. I've noticed the same happen on other ships. A trick I like to use when parking a sloop is to drop anchor, make sure the sail is fully raised, then raise the anchor again since it raises quickly on sloops. This way, the sloop is guaranteed to stay put while I'm on an island.

You seem like a total sweat, and the exact kind of player I'm always having to defend against, but thank you for the pointers!

Another last resort tactic I’ve used to great effect, is draw them into the L-bend of the map in the red zone, power turn, then drop your anchor and harpoon into them and lock it using X.... it will force them into a red water scuttle situation, keeping them in place... a wonderful troll manuver if they won’t leave you alone and you have nothing to lose! 😜

In my admittedly limited experience solo slooping, I've found that I tend to either be left alone because I have nothing onboard more valuable than some leeches and a pineapple, but even when I am attacked because of my Emissary flag I'm generally able to negotiate by letting folks have my flag once I'm done with my trade route XD

Thanks great video been playing about a month and this guide is the best I've seen for trying to figure out the pvp meta when you're not familiar with a game yet.

Great guide please continue to make more I find you so informative and easy to understand.Also I can see your a great and very experienced player so know for sure your tips will hit the mark keep it up man

Damn this channel is a hidden gem, thanks for the tips!

This actually helped way more than I thought it would. I'm not one to play with people and I'm a solo slooper. Thank you for the good advice!

Thing I love most about your videos since I started watching recently, is you don't have obnoxious intros or outros, don't scream "HEY GUYS IM BACK AGAIN" or something similar. Just chill, straight to the point, informative videos. Keep it up man.

The sail facing forward into the wind tip is insane. That changed everything; I wondered how I was getting caught - I was always hard angling... like you actually should.

That tip with the harpoon is really good. It reminded me of a time when a friend was cannoning me at someone, and as I left the cannon, they harpooned me instead of our boat. I killed them because they were so confused lol.

Thank you for the fantastic guides. You absolutely deserve more credit for this.

The death grown of the ship you were talking about was really effective, and that helped me so much to not sink too quickly and winning more fights. Thank you. 😁

This is what I was looking for. Really informative I liked it!

I’ve logged about 78 days into this game, this is by far the greatest compilation of my secrets so far

The 2nd half was the useful part for me. Thank you very much. Good tips

Your tips literally just saved me from a brigante, especially the don't anchor tip, it was really useful thanks!

No joke, I didn't even realize the cannon ball barrel at the bottom of the stack housed its own loot. I thought both barrels stacked on top of one another was a singular set piece. You taught me something very important today so thank you! xD

I just want to say one of my crew mates mentioned watching your videos so i checked you out. As someone who has been playing since day 1 as a solo slooper its good to see other insane people.

That's gotta be the best pirate I've ever seen

masterful play dude, i find myself doing a lot of this already but it's just the pvp fighting and outplaying swords and guns that i need to get better at, cheers for the tips

Thank you so much! Just started last week and im in love with the game!!!

I'm really proud of myself now. I figured most of this out on my own.

Both impressive and instructive. Don't quite have the sand to pull off some of these tricks but, will definitely put in some more time to smooth out my game. Thanks for sharing.

As a person that has no friends and is an introvert. This really helps me because I am trash at pvp in SoT. Thank you for the Video.

Thank you. I just started. I’ve been watching all these tips. And my god I am awesome with solo

So I've had the game since day one but with lack of content early on and early griefers I decided to leave it for a while, now I'm on my first week back into the game and I'm a solo slooper. Top tip if you have major anxiety and depression like me, this game is both amazing and a horrible experience. It's a beautiful game, I love the world and it's really calming just to sail about. But being constantly spawn killed, sunk and getting "Ezzzzzzz" messages.. it really makes it difficult to stay invested so I end up not playing for the rest of the day. This guide is what I've been looking for and hopefully I can start sending other people to davy Jones's locker rather than being there myself.

I’ m amazed by all the content on your channels, I just started Seo of thieves 1 month ago and I obviously need to train some stuff Thanks again for not letting noobs down !

Really helpful video! Just adding to the fort plays. If you are going to swim to a tower, make sure you grab some chainshots. Killed a 3 man brig while I was solo. My method was to shoot down both their masts, preferably right near the tower. Shoot a few cannon balls or blunder bombs top deck if you can to slow down fixing the mask. Then just swim toward their immobile ship with a gunpowder barrel. In this instance they had one on hull repairs, and both fixing each mask. They had no counter and the keg overwhelmed them.

Extra tip for parking your ship, get good at using the harpoon to help park, on xbox its LT to pull the line in and x to brake. Great for making your ship come to a complete stop without needing to anchor

The locking harpoon mechanism from your other video literally is the reason I subbd

Great guide. Best solo sloop guide ive seen.

Love the vids helping me out , Some of the stuff I didn’t know.

I started playing a month ago nd seen this video the first week off me playing the game nd this help so much Thank you Sir

Was able to bring in a 200k haul in by myself (lvl 5 reapers) on sloop obviously because of you just wanted to say thanks again ❤

Great tips! And awesome gameplay to watch💯

Good info, good quality on video and audio and also a good voice for the info. :)

I don’t have Sea of Thieves and I’m planning on getting it soon and this is just feeding my knowledge about Sloop tactics.

I have found your channel after muselks stream. Great content.

my pvp tip, run like hell! Sail across the seven seas to get away! (technically you can’t cuz lorewise its in a different realm) and when they catches up sail out to the borders and sink your ship, we are not gonna let them have it!

I recently started playing the game this helped me since I don’t have any friends that has sea of thieves

This is super helpful because I don’t have very many friends that play sot so I am usually a solo sloop

So many good tips! Thanks buddy!

Awesome tips in there. I am proud to say that I figures some out myself.

Thanks for the tips! I have been eyeing this game for a few years now and I think I made a decision to buy it.

Great vid man, subbing cause of this vid alone.

Amazing video. I feel stronger as a solo slooper. Now I don't feel like I'm helpless and at the mercy of the sea when I'm sailing alone which is most of the time the case

So, after watching your solo sloop pvp tips, I, for the first time yesterday, did not run from a fight. I just got to PL *flexes mightily* and decided to be suicidal and fly the Athena flag. On my way to Devil's Roar (because if we are being suicidal, may as well go all in), a couple of guys in a Reaper sloop found me. Instead of running as fast as I could to wherever they were not, I turned and fought. I got their mast down (with cannonballs, not chainshot because I missed every shot I fired with chainshot) and I got them on fire and I put a bunch of holes in their ship before I was murdered by a cannonball to the face. When I respawned, my ship was sinking, but I had brought along with me on this suicide mission, a rowboat that happened to have a cannon on it, so I started shooting at them again, I decided I had pushed my luck too far when they brought out the sniper rifle and found my mermaid back to my ship. I was terrified but I really enjoyed in that moment! Thank you for the encouraging solo sloop pvp videos!

Hey, I love your updated content. Keep them coming. Thank you.

Great video man!

You are professional pvp gamer, much appreciated for guide

Dude I’ve been watching your videos and I just wanted to say I love your ship setup. I wish I had the bone crusher figurehead.

Solobslooping has been my thing since week 1. I love it. Galleys fun too but I love my sloop.

Solid tips and strong tips. A great video even for veterans, there might be a tip in here you didn't otherwise know.

Solo sloop is the way. I personally do this because I do not trust others and will rely on myself (which is probably the best decisions I have ever made). I just watched this for fun and I remember when I first started playing a couple of months ago, not knowing how to use ANYTHING. 100% wish I watched this back then, but this is honestly pretty good for those who don't know how to solo sloop.

Nice job , i played 1week mostly solo sloop its amazing

Thanks for this, literally getting an Xbox and this game tomorrow and I’ve been playing on PS4 so I’ll be playing solo for a while.

Thanks for the tips dude

Fantastic video! Thanks!

God damn the ferryman cutlass is cool

Informative and hilarious!!!

Just started playing thanks for this

Quickest way to get better at the game. Hands down. Well said.

I havent downloaded the game yet but im told pvp is inevitable so im trying to be prepared 😅

Blurbs is a hero! I only love solo slooping... but I don't have what it takes. Never will. I suck at it. Miss a lot. I get ganked all the time. I'm old. I'm a dad in his 40's. Not enough time for practice, no patience, so I rage quit for months and stick to twitch. I do come back to it eventually and start over... for nothing. Did I tell you I love solo slooping?

I find it effective if u need to come to a complete stop without drifting, anchor and then unanchor bc the sloop only takes like ten seconds to lift the anchor.

Only 4k? Dude can't wait til you blow up. I've binged your videos. Also, what cosmetics are on your ship?

thanks! that helped me a lot!

I used the death groan so many Times. very helpful

Thanks for this. I was just about to succumb to the brig bc my buddies were telling me the brig can move faster into the wind than the sloop. I knew that was some bullshit. It'll be better for them if I don't need help anyway.

Yay i needed this so much😅😂

Thanks for the help, I’m gonna start playing sea of thieves again

Great video, thanks. I never knew about angling the sail directly forward with headwind., kinda weird.

Something I feel people forget on a sloop against the bigger ships is that you are the _most_ maneuverable rocks are your friend as less skilled crews particularly open galleons often cannot do the precise last second turns and will run aground or even ram dead into a rock and get stuck for minutes while you nail a last second turn and avoid the rock completely able to fight or run while they scramble.

Thx for the tips bro

I know this was made a year ago but as someone that has just picked this game up a couple of days ago I must say this was awesome

You just got a new sub from a day one player

every time I go fight some people they hit me off with a cannonball or one hit me with it. Then when I get back they have anchored me, set the ship on fire, started spawn camping, and shooting more holes into me. It sucks but I’m used to it.

5:10 this tactic is useful also gives the impression of a skeleton crew and make other players think that the ship is still being manned

Love the way blurbs said to never anchor. But his intro got his ship's anchor down with sail lowered. 🤣🤣Great vid though. 👍👍👌✌️

I love the name for that, death grown, I am going to call it that from now on.

Now guide dude! Most impressive!

I’ve been playing this game since day one and I’m just here learning about how to pvp because me and my crew mainly just do voyages and avoid pvp unless it’s a stronghold or they insist on pvp (that doesn’t include skelly ships)

as far as the never anchor thing goes. sometimes it helps to drop anchor and then raise it immediately just to stop the boats forward drift when docking, but never STAY anchored. if you feel the boat will drift use the harpoons to secure the ship.

Day 1 pirate learnt something new! Thanks

Solo slooping is my favorite thing about this game. I haven't gotten sunk by another crew in over a year because I play safe and chill

I have played sea of thieves for about 3 years now and have thousands of hours on it, and this video still taught me new skills and tips. Great video mate keep up the good work:)

Good tip, you can bucket your water out of the ship above the grate in the sloop and brig!

I also personally find that if there is a storm nearby and you think you can't take on an enemy go into the storm to loose them it actually helped me several times

Thanks so much!

as a guy with no crew to join almost 75 percent of the time this was very informative

I started playing my first time today. Noticed it’s kinda cartoony so I pushed the graphics and everything maxed out crossing my fingers it’ll run smooth. And oh my god is this game beautiful as hell. I can’t believe how the water looks. Best water I have ever seen in a game. Normal non gamers wouldn’t understand why this water is so freaking amazing
