Insider Patch Notes 2.0.13.5
Insider Update 2.0.13.5 is now live! As we approach our April release, we want the Insiders to explore the seas while representing a Trading Company as an Emissary. Level up your Emissary reputation and climb the Ledger to get exclusive cosmetics!
If you do encounter any bugs, then please head to the
Sea of Thieves support site and let our Player Support team know.
Updates
- Ashen Guardians & Keymasters - Emergent Ashen Guardian and Keymaster Skeleton models have been replaced with Ashen-themed skeletons.
- Cutlass Skeletons - Skeletons defending against Cutlass strikes will now alternate their block pattern like players.
Fixed Issues
General
- Players previously affected by cosmetics not persisting between sessions should now find with this build that their loadout has been repaired. Cosmetics should now save correctly across sessions as a result.

- The Treasure Player Activity icon will now show when a player is taking items out of a chest.
- During an Arena Contest, the ship map will now display the correct chest icon for a dig site.
- Defeating a Megalodon now rewards the player with loot.
- Being on a ship no longer prevents you from being able to perform a 3 hit combo with a cutlass against skeletons, pirates or a Kraken tentacle.
Reapers Bones
- Cannonball and Firebomb Crates now award the correct amount of gold and XP when delivered to the Merchant Alliance and Reaper's Bones.
- Ashen Tomes now award the correct number of doubloons when delivered to the Reaper's Bones.
Trading Company Emissaries
- When representing an Emissary, players will now only gain reputation from picking up treasure sought by your specific Trading Company.
- When navigating the Reaper's Bones company shop, a player is now always able to purchase the Emissary Flag before being offered the Reaper's Bones Costume should they be at the appropriate rank for both items.
- Emissary Flags have now been returned to their correct price within the company shops.
- Icons have been added to Emissary Flag shop offers.
- When activating an Emissary, an audio cue will now play along with the banners.
- The Emissary banner text is no longer placeholder or missing.
Reviving
- You can no longer hear the revive sound effects from far away when somebody dies.
- After being revived you will now get back up in third person before regaining control of your pirate in first person.
Pirate Emporium
- The Sabre Wulf sails no longer have placeholder imagery.
- The Collectors Sabre Wulf sails icon in the customisation chest has been corrected.
Known Issues
- Reaper’s Bones Popups - When handing in some Items to the Reaper’s Bones there will be incorrect or missing popups.
- Order of Souls Bounties - Skeleton Bounties from the Order of Souls voyages currently do not spawn on islands after starting the voyage, the Bounty Map is also blank.
- Arena Beacons - The dig site icon on the ship's map is at world's origin rather than the actual location of the dig site.
- Company Expansions – When reaching above rank 55 in Merchant Alliance, Gold Hoarders or Order of Souls voyages purchased may not be set to the correct difficulty and some may not be able to be completed.
- Reviving - Visual issues with player animations and visual effects can occur when attempting to revive players in a range of edge case states which are being investigated.
- Fresh Meat - Animals do not drop food when killed.
- Ghost Ships – An issue has been identified causing Ghost Ships to stay passive and not engage with players. Ghost Ships have therefore been disabled for the current build as we pull together a fix and return them back to Insider testing.
- Merchant Alliance Emissary Progress – Performing actions for the Merchant Alliance such as delivering cargo and completing voyages does not grant Emissary Grade Progression.
