Season 14 of Rare’s Sea of Thieves is live, adding to the game’s weapons while expanding on an overlooked aspect – stealth. Check out the launch trailer below.
The newest weapon is the Blowpipe, which is almost completely silent and ideal for putting enemies (including other players) to sleep, leaving their loot ripe for the taking. However, you can also use explosives or lure darts to blow up or distract enemies. There’s also the Grapple Gun to pull enemies and items towards you or serve as a traversal tool (especially when descending from higher elevations).
Stealth as a whole has also seen some revamps. Crouching is more silent and hides your nametag, and there are new disguises like chests to sneak around in. You can also lay traps with fireworks, Cursed Cannonballs and other explosive materials. All of this is in addition to new Commendations and cosmetics (including some spooky options like the Coral Coven set).
Sea of Thieves is available for PS5, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Check out our review of the PS5 version (which has reportedly sold over a million copies).
