Upgrade Spotlight: Copperhead! - March 07, 2012

[J.T.]

Steel yerself for battle behind the armored hull of the Copperhead!

This Level 4 upgrade protects both crew and plunder with fortified layers of iron and steel. Who needs speed when your armored shell laughs off enemy cannon-fire?

A seafaring stronghold, the Copperhead also packs quite a bite with her special explosive broadside attack.

There’s only one sure upgrade path to reach the Level 4 Copperhead ship: armor, armor, and more armor.

Plunder Bounty Hunters and enemy Warships for the iron and steel materials needed for this upgrade. Bounty Hunters can carry regular materials such as iron, pine, and canvas materials. Warships can carry any material including the rare steel, oak, and silk materials.

You must sink Bounty Hunters that are specifically on yer own ship’s tail to plunder their materials.

NOTE: Ship upgrades cannot be combined as you move from one upgrade path to another path. When weighing yer upgrade options at the Shipwright, the attributes you stand to increase by choosing a particular upgrade are shown in green. The attributes that will decrease should you choose that upgrade are marked red.
Your ship’s current attributes will change if you choose to downgrade to a previous step in the upgrade path.
