# Insider Patch Notes 3.3.0.3

Insider Update 3.3.0.3 is now live.  With this update players can get hands on with the new deployable Reaper Cannon, a brand-new transportable weapon to add to your arsenal for naval combat.

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.

## Reapers Rising

**Reaper Cannon of Rage**

* The Reaper Cannon of Rage is a powerful new deployable cannon. The cannon can be transported and deployed in a wide range of tactical locations and moved to be redeployed in new locations as needed.

* When deployed, it can be loaded and fired like a regular cannon; however, be warned with each shot fired the cannon generates heat and will need to be cooled to prevent overheating. Players can delay their shots to allow the cannon to cool, or use water to douse it faster.

* The cannon will also overheat when taking damage, becoming a potential target for rival crews. Should the cannon reach a critical heat threshold either through over use or by damage it will begin to steam and then explode, causing devastating damage to the area.

*To facilitate Insider testing, these new Reaper Cannons can be found easily at Outpost Taverns.*

## Wild Seas

**Hunting Spear Improvements**

* The range of the hunting spear’s quick throw has been slightly increased, throwing the spear further.

* Throwing a hunting spear at a higher angle will cause the spear to arc sooner and travel a shorter distance.

* Charging a throw will now take longer before being fully charged.

Lizards

* New lizards have been introduced to Twin Groves, Fools Lagoon, Plunderer’s Plight, Cinder Islet, Boulder Cay, Paradise Spring, Tri-Rock Isle, Glowstone Cay, Lookout Point, Mutineer Rock, Shark Tooth Key, Flame’s End and Magma’s Tide.

## Wild Seas

**Athena’s Fortune Legendary Searches**

* Athena’s Fortune now offer three new Voyages that provide a short, on-demand option to earn Athena’s Fortune reputation. These new Legendary Searches can be selected from the Quest Table: A Legendary Treasure Map Search, A Legendary Riddle Quest Search and A Legendary Skeleton Bounty Search.

* As these Voyages are a shorter experience and therefore have less risk than the existing Athena’s Fortune experiences on offer, they will provide reduced rewards in comparison to their riskier counterparts.

## Live Events

**Gilded Voyages**

* New Gilded Voyages are now available, sending players into The Wilds. This Gilded Voyage can be found in the Limited Voyages tab of the Quest Table.

* There are four Gilded Voyages available, each with a single use; Gold Hoarders, Merchant Alliance, Order of Souls and Athena's Fortune.

## Known Issues

**Reaper Cannon of Rage**

* The cannon model, audio and visual effects are all considered placeholder in this early preview and feedback is not required at this time.

* Direct shots from a cannonball on a deployed Reaper Cannon will not currently trigger overheat, however this is intended.

**Hunting Spears**

* Spears remain stuck in the hull and will still apply Tier 5 damage if a player attempts to interrupt the removal action at the end of its duration.

**Skeleton Mercenaries**

* The player cannot harpoon treasure out of a Skeleton Mercenary’s hands if it hits the back or side of the skeleton.

## Fixed Issues

**Gameplay**

* Players lobbing throwables above or below deck across all ship types should no longer find they explode on contact with invisible surfaces.

* Boars can now trigger traps.

**Hunter’s Call Trading Company**

* Players will now find Crates of Rare Fish Scales when taking on Raid Voyages for the Hunter’s Call.

**Skeleton Mercenaries**

* The Box of Spices can no longer be handed to the Skeleton Mercenaries.

**Grapple Gun Animations**

* The new animations shown when grappling to a location now appear correctly when grappling in a vertical direction.

* Grappling to a location after sprinting or swimming should now consistently show the intended animation.

**Hunting Spear**

* Players triggering a panic teleport while charging a spear attack will no longer find their controller vibrations become stuck.

* Players can no longer sell a hunting spear at the same Outpost it was purchased from.

* Players should no longer find themselves unable to interact with objects after sprinting shortly after throwing a hunting spear.

* Thrown spears travelling through the air can now be seen by other players.

**Pigs**

* Pet pigs’ names will now be shown above the pig.

* Players stroking a pig while jumping will now appear to stroke the pig correctly after landing.

**Environment**

* Ancient Megalodons should now be able to navigate correctly near the Fort of the Dammed and should no longer get stuck on the shore.

* Players making their way onto a Skeleton Sloop will now find they can safely navigate the ship without hitting invisible surfaces.

**Visual and Audio**

* Seagulls should no longer stay parallel with the ship when the ship turns very quickly.

* Players equipping the Hunter's Call Emissary Costume will now find that any masks are hidden to prevent visual distortion with their pirate’s face.

**Text & Localisation**

* The Hunter's Call Emissary Table will no longer show placeholder text when in Safer Seas.

* Cardinal Lodestar Sails description now mentions the correct insignia colour.

* The Shrouded Glass should no longer display placeholder text within the Pirate Radial Menu.
