Insider Update 3.1.1.3 is now live. In this release, players will be able to continue testing new features for Season 14 including the Grapple Gun and Sirenfruit, whilst also getting hands on with a new feature: disguises.
As always, if you encounter any bugs, please head to the Sea of Thieves support site and let our Player Support team know.
Disguises
From Season 14, every player will have the ability to access two disguises – a classic barrel disguise and the Sailor’s Chest disguise. As players progress through Commendations, they will unlock rarer chests to disguise as - making it even harder for their enemies to spot them and allowing players to plant the perfect trap, or hideaway on a ship unnoticed.
How to use disguises
Players must be crouched to access the disguises, and these can be activated by using E on a keyboard or LB on a controller.
In order to equip new disguises, simply head over to the Vanity Chest and look for the disguises category. Equipping these should work similarly to equipping Emotes.
Once in a disguise
Players will find themselves disguised as their selected option, but instead of being static like all other Emotes, the player can now move around the world, albeit at a much slower pace.
