    • Critical shot.
    • Extra ammo range.
    • Infinite ammo.
    • Skill boosts.
    • Skill duration boosts.
  • Rumor has it that four new legendary weapons have surfaced. The Brethren Court has learned that these be quite powerful - wielded by some of the most fearsome and notorious individuals in the Caribbean. Will you be one of the first to find them? Only time will tell...
  • Big changes have been made to The Diplomat and China Seas Warrior outfits. These sets now have different clothing items depending on which peddler you visit.
    • China Seas Warrior now has two variations of closed coats, for both males and females.
    • The Diplomat now has an open long coat and high neck shirt variation for males and a closed coat variation for females.
    • The two outfits will return as week-long flash sales throughout August to get players these new items.
  • Kat Repperson, a new peddler, has set up shop in Las Pulgas on Padres del Fuego, next to Goslin Prymme's tavern.
  • New colorable hat: Accented EITC Hat. It is available in the secret shop and in loot (as brights).
  • Rank IV Storm Chaser, Fortune Hunter, and Copperhead hulls now have better speed, cargo, and armor stats respectively. Previously, these hulls had worse stats compared to their rank III counterparts.
  • Sailing skills will now properly increase in duration when more skill points are applied.
  • The Seven Seas Repeater Pistol group (six weapons!) can now be found in loot.
  • Per player request, we removed the previously discontinued peddler outfit, Treasure Hunter, from general loot. It is back on the docket as a flash sale set.

    • The old shorts are still available in loot.
    • The previous shorts were able to be found elsewhere in the game. These are exclusive to Peddlers.
  • We've added 75 new prefixes and 75 new suffixes to the ship name chooser!
  • We've entirely rewritten the back-end of the Lookout matchmaker system again to better accommodate for Team PvP queuing and future updates. We hope to have more improvements to the Lookout system in the future!
