**Cannon of Rage**

* The Cannon of Rage now appears properly in Mercenary Skeleton hands.

* The Cannon of Rage no longer briefly pops out of view when a pirate collapses it.

* The Cannon of Rage no longer explodes instantly when in heated water.

* The interaction audio is now present when a pirate deploys the Cannon of Rage.

* When the Cannon of Rage is in its deploy animation, a player will no longer receive the prompt to 'Climb into Cannon'.

* If a Cannon of Rage with heat damage is retracted at the same time another player docks to it and spams fire, the docked player's camera view will no longer lower with the retraction.

* The Cannon of Rage can now be sold to all of Sea of Thieves’ Trading Companies.

**Reaper’s Chest**

* Player hands now accurately hold the ropes of the Reaper's Chest when carrying the item.

* After a player migrates server, the Reaper’s Chest no longer needs to be picked up and placed back down to work.

* After server migration, the amount of spawns the Reaper’s Chest gets no longer resets.

* After a migration, Skeletons no longer become allied to the crew who steal the Reaper's Chest – they stay allied to the crew who broke the seal.

* Skeletons will now server migrate alongside the player’s ship and the Reaper’s Chest itself.

**Gameplay**

* The ‘A Tracker's Megalodon Hunt’ Voyage no longer ends prematurely, meaning the Voyage will no longer end on its own or end as failed after half an hour.

**Visual and Audio**

* Players on console using Dolby Atmos will now hear audio correctly.

* The ashen vortex above an Ashen Lord encounter now fades away once the encounter ends.
