Legendary Location – Seas of Sailor’s Grave

Players in Custom Seas sessions can now choose the Seas of Sailor’s Grave as a new Legendary Location, allowing them to create and play within the Last Ship Standing battleground.

The Devil’s Shroud surrounds the map, keeping crews focused on the action. Due to the unique nature of the location, some World Events, creatures and island-specific features will be unavailable.

Skip Downed State – This switch controls whether players must wait through the full downed state before respawning, or respawn immediately.

Weapon Damage – Players now have full control over the damage of player weapons within a custom session. Damage for each weapon’s attacks can now be individually increased or decreased from their default values. Weapon damage can also be set to negative values, allowing attacks to heal players or creatures. To heal crewmates, ‘Friendly Fire’ must also be enabled.

Switch Improvements

Unarmed Weapon Loadout – Players can now select ‘Unarmed’ as a weapon loadout override for primary or secondary weapon slots. This provides support for single-weapon or fully unarmed experiences.

Game Options Menu

Players opening the Game Options menu (Escape on PC, Options on controller) now have quick access to the Quick Command Menu, Session Overview, View Scoreboard and Free Camera, alongside the existing options.
