Sea of Thieves (opens in new tab) broadened its sartorial horizons in a new update, and youll have to do a little bit of traveling if you want to pick up all the new looks. Update 1.06 (opens in new tab) is all about new customization options, whether you want to freshen up your pirates wardrobe, give your ship a new look for striking fear into the hearts of distant sailors, or find yourself the cruelest-looking saber on the high seas.
The new clothes selections arrive in the form of several new sets: Executive Admiral, Grand Admiral, Rotten Bilge Rat, Castaway Bilge Rat, Corsair Sea Dog, Ruffian Sea Dog, and Imperial Sovereign. Despite the similar names, theyre not all just palette swaps of one another – look at the difference between the Admiral Jacket on the left and the Grand Admiral Jacket on the right.
The new ship and gun cosmetic options encompass the Grand Admiral, Castaway Bilge Rat, Ruffian Sea Dog and Imperial Sovereign sets. Theyre quite a bit more palette swappy, as you can see by comparing the Admiral Figurehead on the left and the Grand Admiral Figurehead on the right…
…as well as the Admiral Pistol on the left and the Grand Admiral Pistol on the right.
As I mentioned earlier, choosy buccaneers must now visit multiple outposts to see the entire selection of goods in any category; update 1.06 added a new Regional Stock consideration, which could feel like a blessing if youre the type who enjoys going from shop to shop in search of just the right thing, or a curse if youre the type who just buys everything on Amazon. I could go either way.
However, I am unilaterally in favor of two of the other small tweaks arriving in update 1.06: first, making skeleton cannoneers less accurate at long distances (those jerks seriously had some GPS artillery shenanigans going on), and second, moving the bell to the other side of the sloops ladder so you wont go ringing it all the time when you just want to climb up to the crows nest. Last up for us is a nice little gesture for players who got in early, in the form of a unique weapon design.
Its called the Launch Crew Eye of Reach (yes, its scope is a chipped wine bottle) and you can pick it up for 1 gold from any weapon merchant. Make sure you grab one soon, because theyll be gone for good in a few weeks!

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University – though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. Ive previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and now Im a staff writer here at GamesRadar.

Corsair Sea Dog Set Items are for Pirates who value getting their hands dirty in either close combat or ship battles. Before the Sea Dogs set up shop in the Arena, the Sea Dog look was the look of the Order of Souls with some of them requiring a certain Reputation rank with the Order. All Sea Dog items used to be only purchasable from Outposts in The Wilds Region. As of the Anniversary Update, all Sea Dog Item variants can be purchased at all Outpost Shops.
The Blunderbuss of the Ashen Dragon sure will feel good to fire into any skeleton who dares to cross our path!
If you missed the release of The Black Market archive last month, it’s your one stop shop for all previously introduced Black Market items.
Last month, we got a taste of the fancy new Aristocrat cosmetics. Wearing the Aristocrat jacket, dress, or hat made us feel like we were wearing our piratical Sunday Best.
Aye, a new volume of Ashen Tomes out in the wild means that there is also a new batch of Ashen Dragon cosmetics to unlock and purchase.
For some of that gold in your pouch you can purchase the Nightshine Parrot Flintlock, Blunderbuss, Eye of Reach and Cutlass, as well as the Nightshine Hat, Jacket and Dress.
