# 2. Setting Sail

Set sail from the docks in one of two game modes with your mates!

* [<mark style="color:orange;">**Pillage War**</mark>](/game-guide/pillage-war-pvpve.md), where you'll team up with your faction to conquer capture points, harvest resources, slay bosses, and further your pirating cause!
* [<mark style="color:orange;">**Deathmatch**</mark>](/game-guide/deathmatch-pvp.md), where you'll face off against other pirates on the server as you climb to the top of the ranking leaderboards to prove yourself a true Pirate Lord!

Use the shack on the right side of the docks to queue. All players begin each Pillage War with a raft and may acquire a dinghy by purchasing a [Pirate Pass](/game-guide/how-to-play/11.-pirate-pass.md). Players can then collect resources and blueprints to craft larger and more dangerous vessels. Alternatively, players may choose to play as Company crew members aboard an existing ship of their faction.
