# Insider Patch Notes 3.8.0.6

Insider Update 3.8.0.6 is now live. This is the second Insider build of the hardening phase for our next release; features seen in this build will align with what will be released to the main game in our next Update.

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.

## Gameplay Improvements

**Custom Seas Free Camera **

* Players are now able to choose an emote and enter Free Camera, allowing them to perform the emote while accessing the full camera controls.

**Bone Caller Balancing**

* Bone Callers used to attack other crews' ships have been rebalanced to now be dynamic based on ship size. When thrown, each pirate will now summon one skeleton on a Sloop, two on a Brigantine and three on a Galleon.

* No changes have been made to Bone Callers used defensively on the crew’s own ship and they will continue to summon three skeletons on all ship sizes or when used on land.

## Known Issues

**Gameplay**

* Choosing ‘Scuttle to a New Sea’ currently does not migrate the crew onto another server.

**Pirate Emporium**

* The Pirate Emporium may still contain items that are scheduled to be rotated out as part of the July update. This will be addressed in a future Insider update.

## Fixed Issues

**Gameplay**

* Waves of skeletons summoned during the Fort of the Damned should no longer appear underneath the ground and should now consistently appear in areas where they can engage in combat.

* Tridents of the Banished now have a chance to be found washed up on islands across the seas.

* Bilge Rats Challenge progress now requires players to use a ship’s cannon rather than a Cannon of Rage for the relevant challenge.

**Custom Seas**

* Players now remain correctly positioned on ships and inside cannons when using the Free Camera.

* Custom Seas presets can now be renamed before selecting a preset.

* Players can now open the radial menu while emoting or using disguises.

* Activating the Free Camera while moving no longer causes repeated inputs after exiting.

* Using the Free Camera while entering a disguise no longer places pirates into a flying state.

* Scoreboard damage calculations now correctly account for weapon override damage.

* Missing Distinction icons now display correctly within the Progress menu.

* Screen narration within Edit Ships and Crews no longer repeats ship names.

**Visual & Audio**

* Splash visual effects now appear correctly when a player is hit by boiling water thrown from a bucket.

**Visual and Audio**

* Eternal Guard spear effects no longer flicker while summoning skeletons.

* The Smouldering Pegasus Collector's Figurehead now displays the correct ember effects.

* The Smouldering Pegasus Pistol now fires from the correct position.

* The Pocket Lizard Emotes now play smoothly without animation popping.

**Text and Localisation**

* Multiple Commendation text improvements have been made.

* Missing localisation has been added for July Pirate Emporium items.

* Placeholder text has been removed from the ‘Dive to Location’ interface during Recovery of a Secret Shipment.
