Latest SvS Glitch - Pirates of the Caribbean Online Fansite & Forums

I'm surprised no one has posted about this sooner (if they have, then point me in the right direction). Well, since the repair while sailing glitch is no longer in use, i've noticed many light sloops using a nifty little cannon glitch to fire THREE explosives at once, and sink ships in one hit! I'm unaware of how to do this glitch but lately i seem to fire 3 thunderbolts out at once somtimes after i find myself rushing to the cannons after repairs, but i'm clueless as to how to get it to happen again (seems to happen when i switch cannons a lot, or rush to one after repairing). Also yesterday i was in svs and once again i quickly rushed and switched cannons and all of a sudden i was firing out rapid rounds of fury, twice as much as i should (though by the time the enemy ship got close to sinking, the glitch had used up all my fury already!).

I believe a new person who was added to my guild know's how to do this, but they're verys secretive and it might take some time to find out. Anyone know about this?

I posted about this in one of the other discussions. Not sure what forum. It happened to me the same way it happened to you. Rushing to grab a cannon, firing, and wam! Triple Thunderbolt. Hasn't happened with Fury, but it probably will.

I've done it three time so far - all three by accident and only one round (I cannot do it continous). It will take whatever ammo is loaded to do the three (so lighting or explosive).

Now to MAKE this happen, Swash II myself and Edward one night tried to make it happen on purpose... but after an 1/2 hour we gave up. Supposed to be theis method of loading one cannon, switching ammo just before leaving and some other stuff... but couldn't get it to work... so only by accident have I done it.

Well when it happened with fury it was constant, but lasted about 10 seconds as it then used up all my ammo. With lightning when it happened it was just the one round that shot three, but i'll try to find out from some people in game i know who use it, but i don't think he'll tell me if he believes i'll post it on here hehe

I'm confused with this point...are you saying you were able to shoot off 6 fury rounds at a time instead of the typical 3? My fury shoots out nearly instantly due to rapid reload and rapid fire.

With fury you can fire 3 rounds out, and with cannon firing rate up full it looks constant anyway even though it's still only 3. However i was firing out 6 at a time, meaning i was only reloading once in that short time between each 6, if that makes sense. So it was 6 fury, reload, 6 fury, reload etc...until i was all out of ammo.

i know how to do this... just load a cannon with an ammo that shoots 3 rounds at once then go to another cannon and load thunder or exlosives then go back to the original then u have 3 exlosives thunder or what ever u choose to load but.. the thing is to keep having 3 at once uhave to keep doing this over and over

Yep, i tried that and it worked. Thank you for sharing this, however i've found when you run back to the original cannon, to fire 3 at once you have to fire them BEFORE the bar loads, otherwise you just get one shot from it.

this i believe has been around since before the update, i've done it quite frequently on accident and had a vauge idea of how to do it, but i've never bothered to actually try it on a full scale kind of thing. i don't think i'll be doing this as it seems pretty cheap and i hope it gets fixed soon

Nautical Nattie · #11 10-22-2008, 08:48 PM

I never knew about it unil recently when i did it by accident, and it started happening more frequently, now it's moved onto privateering. It should be fixed, but i believe this is fairly new thing to Disney, and they'll be focusing more on the other obvious problems at the moment this side of Halloween with the updates. But now it's out on this discussion something can be done.

Great... someday all the glitches will be fixed....

Ahh somebody did post this glitch, but not only is it in SvS.

You go to the cannon you want to shoot the three thunderbolts/explosives.
Turn it to firebrand 'n wait for it to fully load.
Go to another cannon (any one) and turn it to thunderbolt/explosives.
Go back to the cannon which you put the firebrand to.
And wa-la, you got three explosives or three thunderbolts. But be quick before the reload timer goes up, otherwise it'll go back down to 1!
