# Insider Patch Notes 2.10.1.4

Insider Update 2.10.1.4 is now live. In this latest Insider build, players will have the chance to try out an exciting new weapon - the throwing knives! Insiders are encouraged to assist the development team in testing a pre-release version of a fresh Voyage, while a batch of Outpost cosmetics arrives on the shores for March.

As always, if you encounter any bugs, please head to the 
[Sea of Thieves support site](https://support.seaofthieves.com/hc/en-gb) and let our Player Support team know.

## Season 12

**Throwing Knives**

* This new weapon in the Armoury comes as a set of five small knives, which players can wield one at a time when equipped and are restocked from an Ammo Chest.

* Wielding a throwing knife allows players to stab enemies with a melee attack or charge for a downward striking blow.

* Players can also throw them for a high damage ranged attack and have five knives at their disposal. If a thrown knife misses its target, it will become lodged in the environment and can be recovered to replenish the player’s stock. Be aware though that another player can also retrieve the misthrown knife and use it against you!

**Limited Voyages**

* Limited Voyages are unique Voyages that players will be given as part of events and can be limited in terms of how long players have to complete them, how many uses they have or a combination of these.

* Insiders are invited to help us test the functionality of this early iteration of this type of Voyage; whether the Voyages are given out correctly and have the correct limitations on them, and any other functional feedback only.

*Please note that quest content is entirely placeholder for this functionality test. Insiders are reminded to give feedback on the functionality of these quests rather than their content/gameplay.*

## Outpost Cosmetics

**March Outpost Stock**

* Outpost shops have received a new shipment of items from the Flourishing Wild Rose set, featuring a Ship Set, Weapons and Hair & Beard styles! Also making an appearance is the Sweeping Hair hairstyle, which will be distributed to all Insiders’ Chests to facilitate testing.

## Updates

**Harpoon Tightrope**

* The tilting experienced when losing balance is now smoother and the input required by controller players to balance has now been improved.

**Emporium Post-Purchase Recommendations**

* Players purchasing items from the Pirate Emporium will now be presented with a pop-up after purchase suggesting similar items they may enjoy and allow them to fast-track to the suggested offer.

**Adventures Tab**

* The Adventures Tab has been removed for more streamlined navigation in Pirate Log.

## Known Issues

**Throwing Knives**

* Knives can stick into surfaces at all angles and stick into each other.

* When players have no knives remaining, they will still see a knife in their pirate’s hand, which is unintended.

* Animations are not currently finalised which is causing several visual issues. These have been detailed in the [feedback thread](https://www.seaofthieves.com/community/forums/topic/166402/throwing-knives-feedback-thread-insider-update-2-10-1-4/1).

**Server Stability**

* Players sometimes experience the game freezing when attempting to buy a Trading Company Promotion.

## Fixed Issues

**Gameplay**

* Fish have now returned to the Sea of Thieves!

* The frequency of Sharks appearing when stepping foot in the water has now returned to normal levels.

**Season 12**

* Multiple enemies can now be doused by the Horn of Fair Winds if they're on fire.
* Campfires can now be doused by the Horn of Fair Winds if they're lit.
* The ‘Peppered Sea Steak!’ Commendation will now unlock when hitting a Megalodon with the Scattershot.

**Environment**

* Players will no longer be able to swim in areas that do not contain water inside the Shrine of Ocean's Fortune.

**Visual and Audio**

* The Message of the Day pop-up notification will now appear on screen smoothly rather than image by image.

* The flag used to show a Fort is active will now be displayed when the player is the correct distance away.

* The Crab Ocean Crawler now turns at the correct speed and animates correctly as a result.

* Messages in a Bottle now appear with the intended glint animation.

**Performance and Stability**

* Improved server stability to avoid instances where players are disconnected from their session.
