Insider Update 3.6.1.2 is now live. This build delivers tighter Faction battles through improved shrinking bounds and better-stocked supply crates, introduces new Outpost and Pirate Emporium cosmetics and includes performance improvements aimed at reducing issues during large-scale encounters.
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.
Shrinking Battle Bounds
To amplify the intensity of battles, the battle bounds now shrink earlier in the fight but at a slower pace to give more time for repositioning.
Crews will now have five minutes (down from eight) in the starting area, before the bounds begin to shrink. A further five minutes of battle will then take place before the battle bounds close to the final area. All transitions will take place over two minutes (up from one minute thirty seconds) and will move gradually, allowing crews to reposition to their advantage.
