1. Clear the Deck Before Boarding

When you disable a ship, don't rush to dock. Use your ship's swivel gun to target explosive barrels and enemy soldiers on the deck first.

2. Use Smoke Bombs in Stealth

Smoke bombs are extremely cheap and allow you to instantly assassinate up to 4-5 guards in combat or escape when detected.

PRO TIP: If a tailing mission goes wrong, drop a smoke bomb and climb to a roof to immediately escape!
