Channel your rage as The Berseker!
Jump aboard Paper Pirates to explore the Berserker Update, featuring a new trait and some QoL improvements throughout!
New Trait: The Berserker
Our new trait for the Berserker Update is The Berserker!
The Berserker is the master of channelling their rage, but sometimes they just just have to let it all out! Each time The Berserker passes their vote, they will gain an additional one voting power. This keeps increasing each time they pass their vote! When they unleash their rage, their bonus voting power reduces to zero, and it can be built up again.
But beware, lest you be overcome by your rage! If The Berserker's normal voting power plus their bonus voting power is greater than or equal to the vote threshold, they will lose their ability to pass their vote. This means they must throw someone overboard - no questions asked!
Make sure that you manage your rage carefully, lest you accidentally end up throwing a human overboard all on your own and becoming a ghost...
More Animated Votes
We've given the black spots used during a voting a little bit more energy! They've now got a nice animation that makes it clearer how many votes a pirate is casting, and also includes a better visual display of how many votes each pirate cast should a pirate go overboard.
It now feels much more exciting to vote for someone, but be careful who you vote for because you might be making more ghosts on the ship!
Outfit Shop Quality of Life Improvements
Sam Sherbot is always hard at work to help make shopping at the Outfit Shop a dream. They've introduced two new features to help you browse, try on and shop with maximum comfort!
Buy Whole Sets
Complimenting the Buy Whole Outfit button added in 3.5, Sam now advertises whole sets for sale. This might be all the parts to dress up as your favourite animal, or many other costumes where different outfit parts just all work together! Pick a whole outfit, and buy all the pieces in one go using the Buy Whole Outfit button. Spending your hard earn coins has never been so easy!
Try on Hats
Sometimes, to complete the perfect outfit, you need the perfect hat. Sam's giving you the opportunity to browse your hat collection, and you can now try on hats in the Outfit Shop! You have to have unlocked a hat for it to appear in the list, but once you do, you can try it on with all the other outfit parts. It'll also be added to your outfit code, so you can dress a pirate up completely without ever even opening the lobby!
