Here's everything you need to know to become the master of a Harpoon Gun in Sea of Thieves. Where to find a Harpoon Gun in Sea of Thieves A Harpoon Gun in\u00a0Sea of Thieves\u00a0is a mounted tool\u00a0on each side of your ship, regardless of the ship's size. You can also find the Harpoon on\u00a0rowboats, in\u00a0Sovereign tents\u00a0on outposts, and on\u00a0several islands.\u00a0They can't be destroyed\u00a0and can\u00a0be used\u00a0by any player at any time. How to use a Harpoon Gun in Sea of Thieves A Harpoon Gun is\u00a0a\u00a0very\u00a0handy\u00a0tool and will become one of your best friends as you\u00a0journey the seas. To use it,\u00a0get close to the Harpoon and press the interact button. Then, you can\u00a0aim and shoot the line at any surface, item, teammate, or enemy.\u00a0 Aiming the Harpoon does require a bit of skill,\u00a0mostly\u00a0because of the waves, so try to get the feel of the waves and their pattern when shooting at a\u00a0small\u00a0target.\u00a0Keep in mind: If you shoot the line and sail too far away from the target, the line will snap. It can also snap if the Harpoon Gun takes damage (though, the gun itself can't break). Tips for using a Harpoon in Sea of Thieves There are also a few tricks you can pull off with the Harpoon Gun that can give you an edge in battle or speed up the boring parts of the adventure. Here are some of the things you can do with the Harpoon: Collect loot and other players Hard turn your ship Pull your ship closer to an island or another ship Damage monsters Create a tightrope to walk or slide on Collecting loot is the\u00a0main\u00a0use of the Harpoon because of how much time it saves. You can\u00a0have your crew drop the loot by the shore, where you can reach it with the Harpoon and then use it to move all the treasure to your ship. Harpooned loot automatically drops when on your\u00a0ship, so you don't\u00a0even\u00a0have to exit it. Adjusting your ship's position is another thing you can do with the Harpoon.\u00a0Shoot the Harpoon and hold the aiming button to reel the line in.\u00a0This\u00a0can be used\u00a0to get closer to the pier to disembark or to make hard turns in the open sea using nearby rocks. One of the\u00a0latest things\u00a0you can do with the Harpoon Gun is create a tightrope to walk on.\u00a0Shoot the line at a surface and press the Balance on Rope button to start walking on it. You can't shoot while walking because you\u00a0have to\u00a0balance using moving keys, but you can move loot this way. If you create a tightrope at a steep angle, you can even slide on it from top to bottom.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/sea-of-thieves-hapoon.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1216182"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2334"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1216182"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1216182\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1216241,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1216182\/revisions\/1216241"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1216221"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1216182"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1216182"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1216182"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1216182"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1216182"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1216182"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1216182"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Here's everything you need to know to become the master of a Harpoon Gun in Sea of Thieves. Where to find a Harpoon Gun in Sea of Thieves A Harpoon Gun in\u00a0Sea of Thieves\u00a0is a mounted tool\u00a0on each side of your ship, regardless of the ship's size. You can also find the Harpoon on\u00a0rowboats, in\u00a0Sovereign tents\u00a0on outposts, and on\u00a0several islands.\u00a0They can't be destroyed\u00a0and can\u00a0be used\u00a0by any player at any time. How to use a Harpoon Gun in Sea of Thieves A Harpoon Gun is\u00a0a\u00a0very\u00a0handy\u00a0tool and will become one of your best friends as you\u00a0journey the seas. To use it,\u00a0get close to the Harpoon and press the interact button. Then, you can\u00a0aim and shoot the line at any surface, item, teammate, or enemy.\u00a0 Aiming the Harpoon does require a bit of skill,\u00a0mostly\u00a0because of the waves, so try to get the feel of the waves and their pattern when shooting at a\u00a0small\u00a0target.\u00a0Keep in mind: If you shoot the line and sail too far away from the target, the line will snap. It can also snap if the Harpoon Gun takes damage (though, the gun itself can't break). Tips for using a Harpoon in Sea of Thieves There are also a few tricks you can pull off with the Harpoon Gun that can give you an edge in battle or speed up the boring parts of the adventure. Here are some of the things you can do with the Harpoon: Collect loot and other players Hard turn your ship Pull your ship closer to an island or another ship Damage monsters Create a tightrope to walk or slide on Collecting loot is the\u00a0main\u00a0use of the Harpoon because of how much time it saves. You can\u00a0have your crew drop the loot by the shore, where you can reach it with the Harpoon and then use it to move all the treasure to your ship. Harpooned loot automatically drops when on your\u00a0ship, so you don't\u00a0even\u00a0have to exit it. Adjusting your ship's position is another thing you can do with the Harpoon.\u00a0Shoot the Harpoon and hold the aiming button to reel the line in.\u00a0This\u00a0can be used\u00a0to get closer to the pier to disembark or to make hard turns in the open sea using nearby rocks. One of the\u00a0latest things\u00a0you can do with the Harpoon Gun is create a tightrope to walk on.\u00a0Shoot the line at a surface and press the Balance on Rope button to start walking on it. You can't shoot while walking because you\u00a0have to\u00a0balance using moving keys, but you can move loot this way. If you create a tightrope at a steep angle, you can even slide on it from top to bottom.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/sea-of-thieves-hapoon.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1216182"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2334"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1216182"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1216182\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1216241,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1216182\/revisions\/1216241"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1216221"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1216182"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1216182"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1216182"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1216182"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1216182"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1216182"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1216182"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
