Players will now have access to pirate-themed weaponry, including the Pirate Cannon. These cannons can be used to launch oneself avast distance or rolled to a prime destination to launch a teammate. They offer new combat experiences and strategies typical of naval engagements.
Buried Treasure
Hidden pirate treasures await on the Island, and players can find them using Buried Treasure Maps found in Chests and on the ground across the BR Island. This questline or collectible hunt encourages exploration and participation in scavenger-hunt gameplay elements.
Cursed Sails Quests
The Cursed Sails Quests are a series of challenges or missions linked to the event narrative. Completing these quests will reward Cursed Gold, which players can use to unlock rewards from the Cursed Sails Pass. The more Cursed Gold a player has, the more rewards they can unlock.
The Cursed Sails Quests are divided into eight "Pirate Codes," with new sets of quests going live every few days. As of now, the Pirate Code One Quests are live, followed by the Pirate Code Three Quests on July 23, the Pirate Code Five Quests on July 27, the Pirate Code Seven Quests on July 31, the Pirate Code Four Quests on July 25, the Pirate Code Six Quests on July 29, and the Pirate Code Two Quests on July 21, culminating with the Pirate Code Eight Quests on August 2.
Players can track their Cursed Gold and remaining Pass rewards by heading to the Cursed Sails tab in the Lobby.
In addition to these features, players can find the Flint-Knock Pistol, another unvaulted weapon, as loot or on the ground. The spectral ship can dive into opponents with a devastating crash and take aim at landlubbers from the crow's nest.
