This week's Skull and Bones reset brings a swashbuckling mix of store content, seasonal calendar events, and serious shifts in PvP meta potential. Whether you're an aspiring pirate legend or a long-time sea dog Skull and Bones Items, this update covers everything you need to stay one step ahead on the high seas.

 

Let's dive into the full breakdown of this week's Skull and Bones content, from William Blackwood's latest wares to which cannons are rising in the ranks, and what ship cosmetics are worth your plunder.

 

Store Reset Highlights

 

The store has once again rotated with a combination of returning fan-favorite items and a few intriguing cosmetics that have players buzzing.

 

Dance of Death

 

Making a return is the iconic Dance of Death set. It's nothing new to longtime players, but still packs that grim aesthetic punch many love. If you've missed it in previous resets, now's your chance.

 

Oranj Fury & Black Torch

 

Also back are Oranj Fury and Black Torch ship skins. These designs have appeared several times now, but if you're a cosmetic collector or missed these in past rotations, it might be worth grabbing them.

 

One major wish from the community? More skins that completely change ship appearances like the Brigantine-themed cosmetics. Players continue to call on Ubisoft to release additional full-swap skins, especially now that PvP meta is heating up again.

 

Other Notable Sets in the Store

 

 Hellfest Bundle

 Drake Armor & Sky Phoenix

 Imperial Sea Set

 Wicked Harvest Booster Pack (Free!)

 PlayStation Plus Set-Bonus: it glows blue at night!

 

Cosmetic sets like Call of the Hydra, Sky Phoenix, Geo the Lemur, and Waters of Gawa continue to impress with their rich detail and unique thematic styles. Many ship lovers will find something worth flaunting.

 

Meta Watch: Long Guns Nerfed, Demi-Cannons Rise

 

Let's talk PvP. One of the most impactful changes this reset cycle is the major nerf to long guns-once the go-to choice for many captains due to their damage range. This nerf has significantly weakened their dominance, creating a massive meta shift.

 

What's taking their place?

 

Demi-Cannons: The New Heavy Hitters

 

 Buffed with a 15% damage increase, demi-cannons are now a serious contender.

 High burst potential and ship-breaking capacity make them a must-try.

 Phoenix Talons: Dark Horse Pick

 Fires 5 shells per cannon, which means massive damage output if fully stacked.

 With long guns weakened, Talons might be the new gold standard.

 

Electric Weaponry May Rise

 

Electric-based builds (like the Heaven's Mandate) were untouched by the latest patch and could soon dominate PvP. Their synergy with status effects and boosting perks makes them a strong pick.

 

Ship Spotlight: Brigantine Meta Comeback?

 

With buffs to certain armor sets and torpedo systems, the Brigantine could be the sleeper ship of the season.

 

 Torpedo & Ramming Buffs make the Brigantine a strong pick for high-speed assault builds.

 Leviathan Armor synergy offers increased movement bonuses, perfect for this ship's fast pace.

 Add in the Phoenix Talons, and we may see an explosive Brigantine build start flooding matchmaking.

 

William Blackwood's Smuggler's Picks

 

Swing by William Blackwood's smugglers' den to find some standout gear that could give you the edge this season.

 

Weapons and Armor to Prioritize:

 

 Phoenix Talons-Already mentioned, but worth doubling down. If you haven't stocked up, do it now.

 Crouching Tiger Armor-Offers damage reduction, critical in today's bursty meta.

 Storm-Struck Cannon Perk-+50% attack damage after electric proc. Combine with Heaven's Mandate for serious damage.

 Hungin Pals-Synergizes well with flood builds and reduces flooding damage.

 Freeman's Embrace-Transfers your status ailments to enemies. Niche, but powerful in the right build.

 Immortal Vessel-Prevents ship from sinking and grants 5 seconds of invulnerability. 180s cooldown, but potentially game-changing.

 Battle Junk-Recently buffed with +45% effect strength. If you haven't grabbed it yet, now's the time.

 

Stockpiling cannons is also recommended, especially if Ubisoft rolls out a rumored new ship with 16 cannons on one side. Firepower like that could shift the endgame completely.

 

Seasonal Calendar Events

 

A couple of limited-time events have returned:

 

Gloria Adorned (Hellfire Color Scheme)

A stunning ship customization option tied to the Hellfire set. If you're into bright and bold themes, don't miss this one.
