Forget hand-to-hand combat; to truly conquer the mobs and secure the best loot, you'll need to be well-armed. The developers have kept the weapon count low, ensuring each serves a unique purpose. Here's a rundown of the weapons in Dead Sails, their functionalities, and where to find them:
| **Name** | **Where to get it** | **Info** |
| *Shotgun* | Costs 30 Dabloons at the Shop Store in any safe zone | Unmatched at close range, perfect for when mobs rush you at night. |
| *Shotgun Ammo* | Available for 25 Dabloons at the Shop Store or a special boat | Sold in batches of 12 rounds; use them wisely. |
| *Revolver* | Costs 20 Dabloons or $35 (all $ symbols refer to in-game money, not IRL dollars) | Only 4 bullets per barrel, defying conventional gun design. |
| *Revolver Ammo* | 15 Dabloons or $15 at any Shop Store in a town | Limited to 4 bullets; make each shot count. |
| *Rifle* | Available at the Shop Store for $75 or 25 Dabloons | Versatile, effective at long and mid-range for sniping enemies. |
| *Rifle Ammo* | Costs 25 Dabloons or $35 in-game money | Refill your rifle's ammo; more generous than revolver rounds. |
| *Grenade* | Costs 15 Dabloons at the Shop Store | Ideal for clearing out mobs in barns, garages, and houses. |
| *Dynamite* | Purchase for 15 Dabloons at the Shop Store or get it by default with the Miner class | Powerful AoE explosive; great for removing obstacles and damaging enemies. |
| *Turret* | Varies in cost by type, available at every Shop Store | A static machine gun for your boat, requiring operation and offering high RPM. |
Armor in Dead Sails
While I appreciate the game's simplicity, a bit more variety in armor would be welcome. Currently, there are only two armor types, but they're essential for survival:
| **Name** | **Where to get it** | **Info** |
| *Chestplate* | 75 Dabloons from the Shop Store clerk | Increases resistance to enemy damage, though won't prevent death. |
| *Helmet* | 75 Dabloons at the Shop Store | Reduces overall damage taken; highly effective when paired with the chestplate. |

Boats in Dead Sails are more than just transport—they serve as oversized inventory bags. With a team, you can shuttle loot back and forth, selling it for a tidy sum. While they don't vary in speed or size, their aesthetics can make a difference:
| **Name** | **Where to get it** | **Info** |
| *Default* | Starting boat, no purchase required | A solid choice until you get accustomed to the game. |
| *Military* | 150 Dabloons at the starting lobby | Camouflage adds a tactical edge. |
| *Junk* | 150 Dabloons at the starting lobby | It may look like a heap of trash, but it's yours. |
| *Modern Boat* | 150 Dabloons at the starting lobby | A sleek alternative to the default boat. |
| *Dragon Boat* | 150 Dabloons at the starting lobby | A unique blend of early Mickey Mouse and Viking aesthetics. |
| *Rubber Duckie* | 150 Dabloons at the starting lobby | Arguably the best-looking boat in the game. |
| *Viking Boat* | 150 Dabloons at the starting lobby | Complete with shields, spears, and a dragon carving. |
| *Empress* | 150 Dabloons at the starting lobby | A stylish pink vessel for loot collection. |
| *Sheep* | 150 Dabloons at the starting lobby | Every list needs its black sheep. |
| *Shark Boat* | 150 Dabloons at the starting lobby | Sadly, it doesn't play "Baby Shark" when you start the engine. |
| *Bling Boat* | 150 Dabloons at the starting lobby | Feel like 50 Cent in 2005 with this flashy option. |
For extra space to accommodate teammates, loot, or even Zombies and Drowned for fuel, consider adding a raft to your fleet.
