Cutthroat Cargo Hunt Tips

Use the Bombardier Padewakang

The Bombardier Padewakang is one of the best ships to bring to this world event since it can deal a lot of damage to the armored merchant convoy, giving you a higher chance to receive the cutthroat cargo at the start!

This ship also has 4 Furniture Slots, allowing you to install more speed-increasing furniture to boost its top speed!

How to Get the Bombardier Padewakang Ship

Bring a Faster Ship

Skull and Bones - Bring a Faster Ship
Cutthroat Cargo Hunt requires you to race other players to reach the designated port with the cargo, so maximizing your ship's potential speed is recommended.

Installing speed-increasing furniture such the Balanced Mast and Rope Locker helps boost your ship's acceleration, while stocking up on a lot of stamina-restoring food such as Grilled Coconuts will help you maintain your ship's top speed as you race other players!

How to Increase Ship Speed

Cutthroat Cargo Hunt Rewards

Legendary Treasure Maps

The player who successfully delivers the Cutthroat Cargo will receive a Legendary Treasure Map, which leads to a chest that contains rarer and higher-quality items!

It's possible to obtain multiple Legendary Treasure Maps by doing Cutthroat Cargo multiple times since treasure maps are treated as individual items separate from one another.

How to Find and Dig Up Treasure

Also Obtainable from Hostile Takeover

Legendary Treasure Maps also drop from the Hostile Takeover World Event, which requires you to attack and maintain ownership of a settlement's production while defending against NPC ships and other players!
