Outpost Cosmetics
Gold Hoarders Cosmetics
- Loyal representatives to the Gold Hoarders can now find a range of Clothing, Weapons and Equipment offered at the Outpost Stores to complete the Gold Hoarders Set.
Updates
Hit Detection Data Collection
- Improvements have been made to the data collected when firing ranged weapons at opponents to improve investigations in Hit detection across a range of scenarios.
- In order to provide data to the team, please head to Wanderer’s Refuge and engage in PvP against other Insiders with the Flintlock or Eye of Reach.
Report a Player
- Within the settings menu, players now have access to a ‘Report a Player’ option, to directly report another player to the Sea of Thieves team for moderation and action.
- This reporting tool allows players to be reported for inappropriate Gamertags, Ship Names and Pet Names.
- Once the report has been completed, players will be shown a list of players who they have been in the vicinity of in the last few hours to enable the report to be targeted at a specific player.
- For Insider testing purposes, no moderation actions will actually take place from any reports.
Musical Hit Audio Effects
- The new Musical Hit volume slider now also controls the hit audio effects when striking a Kraken tentacle, Megalodons, Ghost Ship, Ashen Lord and Skeleton Ships.
Video Player
- While the team work on improvements to the performance and stability of the new video player, this has now been temporarily disabled in Insiders.
