How to board enemy ships in Skull and Bones
If you want to board an opposing ship in Skull and Bones, you need to start by draining its HP. Every ship has a health bar. To deplete this bar, you need to use your canons or some other type of weapon to destroy the ship.
Once a ship’s health bar is at about a third, get in close to it and you should see the prompt that reads “crew boarding.” Following this prompt will make your crew throw out some lines. If they connect to the opposing ship, your crew will begin the boarding process. This means that you will get a cutscene showing your crew jumping aboard the ship.
What is the benefit of boarding ships in Skull and Bones?
If you successfully board a ship, you will get bonus loot for doing so. You will normally get loot for destroying an enemy ship but boarding it will get you a small bonus. You will also get more items from a shipwreck cargo selection.
On top of these bonuses, it appears to us as though you get more infamy for boarding a ship rather than destroying it. This would make sense since you are acting a bit more like a pirate by stealing all the enemy’s cargo.
