Skull and Bones does not have a dedicated PvP
Does Skull and Bones have PvP?
No, Skull and Bones does not have a dedicated PvP mode. In other words, you do not have an option where you can turn on matchmaking and start fighting against other players. However, the game does provide you with the option to get a taste of PvP through World Events or contracts.
How to play PvP in Skull and Bones
In order to play PvP in Skull and Bones, you will have to take part in World Events or contracts. There are currently two contracts that allow you to engage in PvP. These are Cutthroat Cargo Hunt and Hostile Takeover.
Cutthroat Cargo Hunt is a proper PvP event where you will have to steal cargo from a merchant ship and deliver it to the designated destination. In this event, while you are stealing cargo from merchant ships, you can also steal it from other players and take it for your own.
In Hostile Takeover you will take to take over an outpost that consists of a production chain. However, you will not be alone as other players will participate in it as well and the entire event turns into a race.
These are the only events that allow PvP as of now. However, Ubisoft is expected to add more PvP content in the game in the future.
