Insider Update 3.2.1.5 is now live. There’s further improvements to the new Mimic Darts, changes to blowpipe ammunition and a restock at the Outpost for Insiders to get stuck in and testing.
As we approach the scheduled release of our December update, the next Insider builds will become focused on finalising this release. This means that the feature set and builds delivered to Insiders will now closely resemble what will be available in the final release.
As always, if you encounter any bugs, please head to the Sea of Thieves support site and let our Player Support team know.
Blowpipe Improvements
Players can now quickly cycle through available dart types via a new keybind, Dart Radial Input. By default this is bound to H on keyboard and Right D-Pad on controller. Players can also hold this key to summon the full Dart Radial.
Players now have a choice on how the blowpipe acts when running out of a specific dart type. By default, running out of a specific dart type will switch to the next type, however using Auto Switch Dart Type in the Input Settings, players can prevent this automatic switching.
Mimic Dart
The Pirates of Mischief section in the Reputation Tab now holds a range of Commendations challenging players to use mimicry to baffle other pirates, with players earning the Lucky Hand Blowpipe as a reward.
Players can now remove their own mimic effects by firing another dart at a solid surface to break the link and return their appearance back to normal.

PlayStation®5 Stability
Mimic Dart
While mimicking a target, players will currently retain access to their emotes – which when used can cause a range of visual issues. This will be addressed in an upcoming update where players under the effect of a Mimic Dart will instead be provided with a default set of safe emotes that work correctly across all body sizes.
Players can still appear as green skeletons once the effects of a Mimic Dart wear off in certain scenarios.
Players are currently unable to mimic Bone Caller Skeletons.
A player who is mimicking another may still appear as themselves to players who join a session after the effect has begun.
The mimic visual effects on the player are currently much too intense when standing near a light source.
Players using a chest disguise while mimicking a skeleton may appear incorrectly.
A mimicking player’s nameplate may appear incorrectly with their name partially cut off.
Players are unable to dive or scuttle if they attempt to start the action while mimicking.

Gameplay
Further improvements to the display of Ship Names on Captained ships, ensuring that the Ship Name now stays visible when diving or migrating across servers.
Sprinting from crouch no longer prevents players from wielding items or weapons.
The aim on the Seasoned Sailor Pistol has been improved, ensuring shots now align with the tip of the barrel.
Traps
When disarming a loaded trap with limited inventory space, players will retrieve the trap first before any loaded items.
Players who temporarily disconnect from a session with deployed traps will now find the traps stay active for a short grace period for the player to rejoin the session before they are removed.
Traps now trigger instantly to gunshots or melee attacks, however when this sets off a chain reaction of deployed traps there will now be a short delay between traps.
Mimic Dart
The Mimic Dart will now last the full duration intended and no longer end abruptly.
Players will no longer lose their mimic effect when the dart is destroyed, allowing players to remain hidden for longer.
Attempting to mimic the same target will now refresh the duration of the effect.
Mimicking skeletons will make them passive if they are not already targeting the player. If the player attacks them, then they will be hostile and won't fall for the mimic again.
Mimicking the Gold Hoarder while disguised as a chest no longer causes the player’s eyes to float above the chest.
Mimicking an Ashen Skeleton or Ashen Captain will now continue to show the visual effects.
Mimicking a Shadow Skeleton will now display the same eye colour of the original skeleton.
Mimicking a player using the Ghost Curse or Gold Ghost Curse will now display the correct visual effects and the effects will be removed once the effect wears off.
