| Type | Throwable |
Firebombs are a Throwable Supply Item in Sea of Thieves. They can be either be thrown by hand or shot out of Cannons to cause Players or Ships to catch Fire.
Where to find them[]
Firebombs are fairly commonly found in Resource Barrels, Storage Crates, Rowboat Chests and Skeleton Ships. They can be stored in the Ship's Cannonball Barrels. Like Cannonballs, Firebombs can also be unloaded from previously loaded Cannons. Some Skeleton Ships have Firebombs in their arsenals. All Ships come pre-stocked with 2 Firebombs inside each Cannonball Barrel. Firebombs can also be found inside dug up Firebomb Crates.
Usage[]
Firebombs can be thrown in a short arc by a player using the Primary Use key. If the key is held, the pirate will perform a short windup animation, although it does not appear to affect the bomb's trajectory. They can also be loaded into cannons like Cannonballs and fired at greater distances. On impact with a surface, the firebomb will shatter, creating a small explosion and setting any nearby Players, Skeletons and Ship parts on Fire.

- Up to 5 Throwables can be held in a player's inventory at one time.
