Beginner’s Guide for Dead Sails

If you’re new to *Dead Sails*, don’t fret. This game, like its predecessor *Dead Rails*, is straightforward in its concept. You’re the captain of a ship tasked with sailing a straight 10 thousand meters between towns, with the ultimate goal of reaching 100k meters. Keep moving, ensure you don’t run out of fuel, and stay alive. Sounds simple, right?

Before You Set Sail

Before embarking on your journey, the in-game lobby offers helpful resources, albeit at a cost. As a new player, you start with 15 Dabloons, the game's currency. While it's tempting to splurge on boats, bandages, and weapons, remember that you'll find plenty of these items in-game. Boats are expensive and unnecessary for beginners, so spend your Dabloons wisely.

How To Choose A Class

We recommend using your 15 Dabloons to unlock a class. These are in-game perks obtained through a loot box system, costing 3 Dabloons per try. You might get lucky on your first attempt and snag a class that suits your playstyle. Consider Common and Uncommon classes like Pirate or Gunslinger. For a detailed breakdown, check out our *Dead Sails* Class Tierlist.

What To Do In Towns

Upon starting a round, you'll find yourself in a town where your ship is docked. These towns appear every 10 thousand meters and serve as safe havens. Utilize the following amenities:

• Trading Hut: Sell collected items.
• General Store: Purchase items for your journey.
• Hospital: Heal yourself.
• Gun Shop: Buy guns and ammunition.
• Sheriff’s: Earn bounty money from pirate and creature corpses.

While you start with a blunt weapon like a pickaxe or hammer, prioritize buying coal over firearms. Spend all your money on coal, as fuel is crucial—your game ends if you can’t move your ship.

Dead Sails Tips & Tricks

The gameplay is simple, but you’ll encounter various buildings, structures, and undead creatures along your journey. Here’s what you need to know to master *Dead Sails*:

Tips For Never Running Out Of Fuel

In *Dead Sails*, coal is your ship's lifeline, adding 20% more fuel per chunk. You could theoretically finish the game by buying 5 coal pieces per town, but that's not the most exciting approach. Collect items marked as "fuel" (which add 5% fuel) and use the corpses of the undead you kill—they can be stored in your inventory for fuel.

How To Survive The Night

Nighttime in *Dead Sails* brings increased difficulty and reduced visibility. If possible, stay in town to stay safe. Alternatively, buy Barbed Wire from a shop to mount on your ship, deterring mobs. If you lack Barbed Wire, pause your journey and attack any approaching creatures.

Which Weapon To Choose

Choosing a weapon depends on your preference. Melee fans might stick with the initial hammer or pickaxe, but as you face stronger enemies, you’ll need more firepower. A shotgun is a top choice due to its high damage output, ideal for unexpected combat. Early on, a revolver is a good starting firearm, often found in buildings.

Best Items To Collect

With a limited inventory of 10 items, prioritize these valuable collectibles:

• Moyai and Bars: Available in diamond, gold, and silver, these are lucrative.
• Healing Packs: Best kept for personal use rather than selling.
• Crosses: Sell for 35 cash or use against the undead.
• Weapons: Use or sell them based on your needs.
• Robot Head: Found in houses and banks, sells for 45 cash.
• Holy Water: Found in churches, sells for 25 cash.
• Gold Llama: Rare and valuable, selling for 150 cash.

Remember, items on your boat need to be welded (Z on the keyboard) to stay in place.

With these tips, you’re on your way to becoming a pro captain in *Dead Sails*. Navigate the seas—or the canal-like river—and reach that 100k meter goal with ease. For an extra edge, don’t forget to check out our *Dead Sails* codes.
