Insider Update 3.5.1.1 is now live. Insiders can now continue to test upcoming features for Act 3 of Season 17, including updates to the Reaper Fortress.
If you encounter any bugs while playing in Insiders, please head to the Sea of Thieves support site and report an issue with our Player Support team.
Act 3: Reaper Fortress
Crews successfully sieging an emergent Reaper Fortress will find the Vault chock-full of treasure stolen from the various Trading Companies. For more details on what can be found inside the Vault, head to this Feedback Thread.
Following Insider feedback, the Vault now also contains two Reaper’s Bones treasures: Casket of Bejeweled Bones and Reaper Exemplar's Urn. When returned to The Reaper’s Bones, these items will progress the Reaper of Follower’s, Servant’s, Disciple’s and Master’s Offerings Commendations.
When storming the Fortress, Tridents of Dark Tides and Cannons of Rage can now be found as part of Weapon Caches, ready to be used during the encounter.
