15 Advanced Tips To Survive In Sea Of Thieves

8. Try Turning The Game Music Down

One of the best aspects about Sea Of Thieves is its soundtrack. With a vivacious collection of colourful melodies and ambient tunes, players are instantly transported into a high-flying pirate fantasy.

However, in the heat of a battle the soundscape can become a little too noisy. From the blasts of intense boss music, canon fire, and the constant chatter of your crew, hearing some rather important sounds can become incredibly difficult.

Not being able to hear the tell-tale splashes of another player swimming towards your ship or climbing aboard could be devastating in the wrong circumstances.

If you want to ensure you and your crew have the best chances of avoiding an ill-fated encounter, then try lowering the music volume in the settings while cranking up the sound effects a little. This will make hearing sneaky pirates all the easier as they will no longer have the soundtrack covering their tracks.

And don’t worry about missing out on the game’s excellent music. You can always adjust the volume back to your liking when you’re in safer (and quieter) waters.
