Sea of Thieves’ seventh season continues to chug along as Rare drops update 2.6.0.1 today. The highlight of the patch is a new time-limited adventure, A Hunter’s Cry. “Venturing into the Sea of the Damned is a risky undertaking even without a band of renegades lying in wait,” Rare says, but you’re gonna try it anyway, right?
The patch also includes light balancing for milestones and fixes for the Captains of Adventure mechanics, though Rare does say that some milestones have been outright disabled for the time being.
