A new update for Sea of Thieves brings cosmetic items and a particularly affordable weapon in the shop. However, the weapon offer is only active for a short time.
The pirate adventure Sea of Thieves received a new update today, on May 1st, with version number 1.0.6. This moves bells to different locations on the ship, introduces a batch of new cosmetic items into the game, and a special sniper with a bottle scope is now available in the shop that you should grab.
The new update is about 1.25 GB on PC and about 1.36 GB on Xbox One and One X.
Launch Crew weapon only available for a few days in the game
The Eye of Reach sniper should already be familiar to you. With its scope, it is an effective weapon against enemies that are further away. At the same time, you can use it as a weaker version of a telescope.
With the update, there is the “Launch Crew” version of the Eye of Reach. This celebrates the developers’ one-month “anniversary” of Sea of Thieves.
How long will the weapon remain in the shop? The special Limited Edition weapon can be found in the shop for the price of 1 Gold. But hurry, this collector’s item will only be available for 14 days in the shops of Sea of Thieves.

Patch Notes for Sea of Thieves Version 1.0.6
Along with these new visual elements, important updates that remove player invulnerability are also included.
Updates:
- Invulnerability: Players are no longer invulnerable during the tutorial when they first start the game.
- This caused confusion among players who encountered invulnerable pirates at outposts and suspected possible cheaters.
- Less Aim Assist for Skeletons: When skeletons were firing cannons from land at your ship, they were surprisingly accurate. They were. Because of player feedback, their accuracy has now been reduced.
- Trade Post Quests Enforcement: It is no longer possible to force a quest for a specific outpost with trade factions.
- Difficult Climbing: On the small ship, the bell was placed on the other side of the ladder. This avoids accidentally ringing the bell when you actually wanted to climb the ladder.
Bug Fixes
The update addressed a few issues from Sea of Thieves. The option for half V-Sync on PC should now function correctly. Additionally, PC players can now rebind the F key without locking their radial menu.
Furthermore, performance improvements have been made. You can find the full patch notes on the official Sea of Thieves website.
With the new update, you can now set sail again and cruise the seas. But remember, out there, there are these Pirate Rules that you better adhere to.
