Hand-to-hand combat won't cut it in Dead Sails. To take down mobs and secure the best loot, you need to arm yourself properly. The developers have kept the number of weapons manageable, each with a unique role. Here's a rundown of the weapons you can find, how they function, and where to get them:
| **Name** | **Where to get it** | **Info** |
| *Shotgun* | Costs 30 Dabloons at the Shop Store in any safe zone | Devastating at close range, perfect for nighttime mob rushes. |
| *Shotgun Ammo* | Available for 25 Dabloons at the Shop Store or a special boat | Sold in packs of 12 rounds, use them wisely. |
| *Revolver* | Costs 20 Dabloons or $35 (in-game currency) | Only holds 4 bullets per barrel, making it a unique choice. |
| *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 for long and mid-range combat. |
| *Rifle Ammo* | Costs 25 Dabloons or $35 in-game money | More generous than revolver ammo, essential for sustained combat. |
| *Grenade* | Costs 15 Dabloons at the Shop Store | Ideal for clearing out structures, causing mobs to scatter. |
| *Dynamite* | Buy for 15 Dabloons at the Shop Store or start as a Miner to receive it | A powerful area-of-effect explosive, great for both obstacles and enemies. |
| *Turret* | Available at every Shop Store, cost varies by type | A static machine gun for your boat, requiring a player to operate but delivering high RPM. |
Armor in Dead Sails
While I appreciate the simplicity of Dead Sails, I wish there were more armor options. Currently, there are only two types of armor available, but they can still make a significant difference:
| **Name** | **Where to get it** | **Info** |
| *Chestplate* | Costs 75 Dabloons from the Shop Store | Reduces damage taken from enemies, though it won't save you from instant death. |
| *Helmet* | Costs 75 Dabloons at the Shop Store | Like the chestplate, it decreases damage sustained, and together they provide solid protection. |

Boats in Dead Sails are more than just transportation; they're essentially mobile storage units. Ideal for teams, they allow you to shuttle loot back and forth, selling it for profit at the next safe zone. While they don't differ in speed or size, their unique designs can add flair to your gameplay:
| **Name** | **Where to get it** | **Info** |
| *Default* | Comes with the game, no purchase needed | A solid starting boat, perfect until you get the hang of things. |
| *Military* | Purchasable in the starting lobby for 150 Dabloons | Camouflaged for a stealthy look. |
| *Junk* | Same as above | A quirky choice that adds character to your fleet. |
| *Modern Boat* | Same as above | A sleek option for those who prefer a contemporary style. |
| *Dragon Boat* | Same as above | A unique blend of Mickey Mouse steamship and Viking vessel aesthetics. |
| *Rubber Duckie* | Same as above | Arguably the most fun boat in the game, a must-have for any playful sailor. |
| *Viking Boat* | Same as above | Complete with shields, spears, and a dragon carving, it's a stunning choice. |
| *Empress* | Same as above | A stylish pink boat for those who want to loot in style. |
| *Sheep* | Same as above | A quirky option, the black sheep of the boat collection. |
| *Shark Boat* | Same as above | Sadly, it doesn't play "Baby Shark" upon starting, but it's still cool. |
| *Bling Boat* | Same as above | For those who want to feel like 50 Cent in 2005, this is the boat for you. |
Need more space for your crew or extra loot? That's where rafts come in handy.

Rafts provide additional space for zombies, drowned, loot, or even turrets. Currently, collecting all rafts in Dead Sails isn't a daunting task, as there are only a few available:
