September 6: the biggest update yet — and the first code
Mortar and Tesla Coil defenses, Blueprints progression, the Shark Head trophy, the Pirate weapon set and an inventory rework — plus the game's first promo code BIGBITE. Full details in the update log.
The Roblox games API shows the live build's "updated" timestamp moving to 2026-10-01T13:25:50Z, two days after the first Kraken sightings. The official Discord #announcements channel stays silent — its last message is the September 12 inventory rollback — so no patch notes were published for this build. Nothing in it beyond the Kraken content already covered in the September 29 entry has been detailed by the developer.
No announcement named it, but the Kraken is confirmed playable as of late September 2026 via the official Discord #questions channel: asked how to get "the kraken stuff," a team member answered "kill kraken" (September 29), and the official account's own "wait kraken got released?" / "that's the update ig" exchange (October 1) confirms it shipped with an update. Per players farming it, the Kraken drops Kraken Tentacles — the crafting material for the Kraken Crossbow, Kraken Turret and Kraken Sniper — and it is a repeatable grind, not a one-time boss. The exact release date, spawn trigger and item stats remain unconfirmed. Full breakdown in the site's Kraken guide.
Official Discord announcement (valtukins, 2026-09-12): "I've identified a bug with the Inventory system, have to move the game version back until it is fixed. Will be back as soon as this is patched." The live build was rolled back to an earlier version until the fix ships, so parts of the September 6 inventory rework may be unavailable in the meantime (not officially detailed).
You start on a tiny wooden pallet in the middle of an open ocean: harpoon floating crates, barrels and scrap, expand the deck plank by plank, and feed the Crafting Table to unlock better gear. Then the fun starts — automatic cannons and turrets, lock-raft shields and spiked hulls protect your chests, while other players' rafts sail by full of loot worth taking. Sharks patrol the water either way, and every voyage in the 18-player servers is a raid risk — and a raid opportunity. New updates land every Saturday.
