# Insider Patch Notes 3.5.2.4

Insider Update 3.5.2.4 is now live. This update increases Chest of Rage appearances in the Devil’s Roar, adds new cosmetics to the Pirate Emporium, and refines Enhanced Headphone Mode for clearer, more balanced spatial audio.

If you encounter any bugs while playing in Insiders, please head to the 
[Sea of Thieves support site](https://support.seaofthieves.com/hc/en-gb) and 
[report an issue](https://support.seaofthieves.com/requests/new) with our Player Support team.

## Season 18: Secrets of the Banished

**Chest of Rage**

* Crews venturing into the Devil’s Roar will now find the frequency of discovering a Chest of Rage in their treasure hoard has increased across a range of activities.

## Pirate Emporium

**New Items - Now in Stock!**

* False King's Ransom Ship: Cannon Flare, Cannons, Capstan, Collector's Figurehead, Collector's Sails, Figurehead, Flag, Hull, Sails, Ship's Crest, Wheel.

## Updates

**Immerse Spatial Audio**

* Players enabling Enhanced Headphone Mode will now hear an improved spatial audio experience, fine-tuned by the teams at Rare and Embody for the Sea of Thieves soundscape. This addresses earlier Insiders Feedback where audio quality and volume had been negatively affected.

* New players can now enable Enhanced Headphone Mode with a Generic Profile directly from the game menu without requiring a Facial scan to be submitted.

* Players choosing the Personalised Profile for an optimised spatial audio experience can now choose to have their Facial Scan deleted after the profile is applied from the Embody page after setup.

* Adjustments have been made to the game’s audio system to ensure only game sounds are used for spatial audio, ensuring elements like music and UI remain separate.

*Insiders will find their Free Trial has been reset in this update, allowing them to test the Enhanced Headphone Mode experience as a new player.*
