GALLEON PHOTOMODE CONTEST

To celebrate the arrival of the Galleon in Year 3 Season 1, we're inviting all Captains to showcase it in all its glory using Photo Mode. Capture the Galleon in action: in battle, fighting the Sea Monster, at anchor, cutting through a storm, or silhouetted at sunset. The Indian Ocean is your stage.

HOW TO ENTER

[p align="start"]Follow these steps to submit your entry:

1. Take an epic screenshot of the Galleon using the in-game Photo Mode with the UI hidden. Screenshots can be captured in Steam at any time using the F12 key.

2. Open Steam and go to View → Recordings & Screenshots to find your captured screenshots.

3. Select the screenshot you would like to submit, click "Share" → "Share on Steam".

4. Post your screenshot to the Skull and Bones Steam Community Hub Screenshots section using the tag #Galleon. Set visibility to Public and do not mark it as a spoiler.
