Skull and Bones players can forge their epic pirate tale as they sail across the seas, wreaking havoc and building a reputation for themselves. Still, even as your infamy grows, battling enemy ships, hunting sea monsters, and attacking land territories are challenging tasks. Players must ensure they have weaponized ships and plenty of preparation before engaging in naval combat.

Players can also travel in groups using Skull and Bone's co-op features or get help from other sailors on their servers. Certain locations are tough to take on alone, but players can send a message alerting others that they need assistance. So, here's how to call for help in Skull and Bones.

How to Call for Help in Skull and Bones

Skull and Bones Call for Help Answered

Players will encounter trade routes, forts, and outposts all around the world in Skull and Bones. Forts and settlements are enemy territories that players can plunder. Plundering these locations results in valuable loot and infamy points. However, they are typically well-defended, especially forts. Players will have to fight against NPCs inside the towers and warships once they make an attack.

Even if players travel solo, they can use the "Call for Help" function to send a beacon to nearby players. Follow the directions below to "Call for Help" in Skull and Bones:

  1. Sail close to a fort or settlement.
  2. Identify the territory using your telescope.
  3. Click and Hold the input for "Call For Help"
  4. Alternatively, you can open the Map.
  5. Find the fort or settlement's icon on the Map.
  6. Hover over it until its description appears.
  7. Click and Hold the input for "Call For Help"

This doesn't add anyone to your group but tells people where you are plundering. The "Call for Help" message is available for one minute, but players can send it out as many times as they want once the cool-down time ends.

It isn't guaranteed that anyone will respond to your call, but there are benefits for them since they also get some of the loot from the haul. While fighting, players should try to board ships rather than sinking them to get more items.

Similarly, when entering certain areas in Skull and Bones, a pop-up message may pop up saying another player is calling for help. This is the same message that others see when you call for help. You can either dismiss the message or view their location on the Map.

Unfortunately, players can't fast-travel while on the sea, so the only way to answer the call is to sail there. Players can join the fight and get a share of the loot from the plunder.
