# Insider Patch Notes 2.7.0.5

Insider Update 2.7.0.5 is now live.  As we head towards our upcoming December update we are now restricting the next few Insider updates to only features that will be shipping in December. The only exception to this will be our next Adventure ‘The Secret Wilds’, which players can still take part in - just simply talk to Larinna at any outpost to see what you can do to help.

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

## Gameplay Improvements

**Blunderbomb Balancing**

* Players caught in the impact of a Blunderbomb fired from a cannon will no longer be propelled so far into the air, preventing them from being so easily sent overboard.
* Blunderbombs fired from a cannon and hitting a ship’s hull now deal reduced damage to players inside the ship caught in the blast. 
* Following Insider feedback, the previous change in Insiders 2.7.0.4 to reduce the damage dealt to players from a Blunderbomb explosion has now been reverted.

## Known Issues

**New Golden Sands**

* As the citizens of New Golden Sands continue with construction, the Outpost is considered a work in progress. The team are not currently looking for feedback and bug reports for this area.
* Whilst moving around the Tavern players may notice the tavern music fades in and out unnaturally.

## Fixed Issues
