Sea of Thieves is a first-person adventure game from Rare. You can go on solo adventures or team up with others to find loot. Today, the game is getting the Ashen Winds update that adds a flamethrower skull and other changes to hit registration and accessibility. You can take a look at the developer diary below which details a lot of the content.
The flamethrower skull should change up Sea of Thieves dramatically. This is the first weapon we have that can deal massive amounts of damage in a very targeted way. Using cannons with special cannonballs is a little hard, but opening the skull and pointing it at enemy players or ships is easy. Some of the other changes are detailed in the tweet from Rare.
What do you think of the Ashen Winds update? Are you excited for this new weapon? Let us know.
