Sea of Thieves Where to Find Preorder Bonus Items – Black Dog Pack

Where to find Black Dog pack in Sea of Thieves?

The Black Dog Pack will be downloaded automatically when you install the game. You won’t have to manually install it or look for it in the store. However, you will have to find the items in the game – they won’t appear in your character’s inventory by themselves.


What you need to do is head to the first outpost and check out all the merchants. One of them will be in charge of bonus items, and he’ll give you the Black Dog items after you talk to him. We haven’t been able to check it out ourselves, but one of the developers said as much on the official forums. All you need to do is talk to every trader you find in any outpost, and you’ll find the one you’re looking for.

If you’ve preordered after January 26th, you probably don’t have the DLC. The developers are aware of this issue, and they have started sending out codes to everyone affected, via Xbox Live messages. Sit tight, and you’ll get your bonus soon enough.

The Black Dog pack contains an outfit (all black, as you’d expect from the name), some musical instruments, and a unique weapon called the Black Dog cutlass. They’re not essential, and won’t break the game, but they will give you a unique look. Obviously, if you’re playing on Xbox, you’ll also need the Xbox Live Gold subscription, as this is an online-only game.
