Insider Update 3.3.1.5 is now live. As we get closer to the scheduled release of April’s update, the next Insider builds will focus on wrapping up this release. This means that the features and builds we provide to Insiders will now look a lot like what you'll see 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.
Hunting Spear Balancing
Hunting spears now deal additional damage when thrown or fired at a Megalodon or Ancient Megalodon.
Hunting spears are now considered a resource when stored on your ship and will now remain when diving to a Voyage or Faction battle and when travelling through the Tunnels of the Damned.
Enforcement Status
To support the upcoming enforcement policy changes, players who are currently suspended or banned from Sea of Thieves will receive an improved notification when attempting to log-in to Insiders.
This notification now shows the current account status, time remaining for players temporarily suspended and a QR code directing players to the Sea of Thieves website where they can view the current number of points on their account.
The vast majority of Insiders should not see this message. The team will not artificially cause this pop-up notification to appear.
Please note the destination link for the QR code will not be live while this feature is active in Insiders.
