Insider Update 3.7.0.1 is now live. In this update, Insiders can take part in the Bilge Rats Weekender by completing new Bilge Rats Challenges for Doubloons and revisiting Reaper Gunpowder Runs.
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.
New Bilge Rats Challenges
Each Weekender will offer a set of Bilge Rats Challenges, offering light‑hearted, themed activities that celebrate the more playful side of Sea of Thieves.
Challenges are available when sailing High Seas, can be completed in any order and reward Doubloons for each challenge completed, whether tackling them solo or as part of a crew.
Reaper Gunpowder Runs Return
Reaper Gunpowder Runs return as part of the Bilge Rats Weekender, bringing back this explosive limited-time Voyage for crews sailing the High Seas.
Crews can propose A Reaper Gunpowder Run from the Quest Table and head to Skeleton Forts to recover Gunpowder Barrels, boosting Reaper’s Bones Emissary Grade and earning increased gold and reputation when handed in.
Completing a Reaper Gunpowder Run during the Weekender awards Doubloons for the first successful completion, alongside the enhanced loot rewards.
