TGIF! Pirate Clan Updates for August 15, 2025

Happy Friday, players!

This week’s TGIF is jam packed with gaming news, updates and the announcement of our next major Livestream coming next week (Tuesday). Thanks for joining us and let’s jump into it!

In-Game Updates:

The new Battle Pass season has arrived! Available now in-game, both the Free and Premium reward tracks are packed with awesome loot for you to unlock. We’ve made two exciting updates to the Battle Pass: the final item set now comes with improved stats, and for this season only, completing the Premium path will earn you an exclusive bonus Avatar. Don’t wait—this season ends September 10th, and once it’s gone, it’s gone for good!

Our newest mini-game makes its return! The Royal Plunder Challenge is live now and runs until August 18th. Destroy the vessel to earn XP and Cash and by dealing enough damage and destroying it, you’ll earn yourself the clear bonus Item! More details are available here in our FAQ - https://kano.helpshift.com/hc/en/5-pirate-clan/faq/716-royal-plunder/

Coming in hot from the hands of the master craftsmen, are the all new Legendary Gemstone Crates! These come packed with ultra powerful Legendary weapons to obtain, so check it out while they are available. Just a reminder that the 3 x Master Crate packs come with a guaranteed Legendary drop every time!

The Armada Wars event begins today! Pirate Clan players can dive in starting at 4PM (PDT). Rally your team and make sure you’re all enrolled before it kicks off. Battle hard for the best rewards and good luck!

As you know we've recently released an update to the Fight List that surfaces Strength based targets on your List (other players who are similar in total fight power to you). One of the most common pieces of feedback we receive is about how there are not enough targets on the Fight List for many players. The goal with that update has been to address that and improve PvP by filling up Fight Lists with more targets for players to engage with. Since that release, we've spoken with players and made additional changes like adding in a level limitation for higher level players attacking levels below them (for Strength targets) and reducing the Health Regen rate to give players more time before having to jump back into the action. Over the next few days we will be releasing the following updates:

Attack Boosts will no longer be allowed against anyone below your level range
Higher level Out of Range opponents who are within your Strength range will now be identified with the Strength tag
(Bug) The Out of XP Range warning that has been incorrectly showing on profiles if they were Hospitalized will be fixed

We will continue to monitor player feedback and game metrics, so please let us know your experience be it positive or negative.

Take on the midweek challenge with the Kamp Kano Calendar! Available Monday August 18th @ 10AM PDT and running until Friday August 22nd. Complete this challenge to earn yourself XP and the clear bonus item!

Lastly, a reminder that twice a week there are new item drops in-game. Limited Time items on Tuesdays and Limited Quantity on Fridays. Keep an eye out for anything that catches your interest!

Tip of the Week: Check your Social Feed in-game to stay up to date on what your allies are up to. You can also collect boosts from them, Help them on Adventures and Fights or fill out Elite Captain slots!

Coming soon!

You definitely don’t want to miss out on this and we’ll see you there on Tuesday - https://addcal.io/e/3vfq3grzp01f

For our Discord community, every Friday you can join Matthew and the Player Success team for the Discord Stream! On Fridays at 12PM PDT (or 3PM EDT) you can join us live in our growing Kano Community Discord. Hang out and find out what’s happening next in our games, and who knows, you may just win yourself a prize of bonus FP or an exclusive item!

You can ask us questions about the game and let us know what you’d like to see in the future - Check out the Discord here: https://discord.gg/prmJzPEXfT

We recently released a new method for players to acquire Favor Points through a system called Rev U. By completing tasks such as making progress in a game or by filling out a survey, players can start earning extra FP for their account! You can access it from the Godfather page and our FAQ post here has all the details you’ll need - https://kano.helpshift.com/hc/en/5-pirate-clan/faq/788-what-is-rev-u-and-how-does-it-work/

For our Mobile App players, we now have a new option for purchasing Favor Points, the Xsolla Webstore! Not only does it support more payment methods than what was previously available, but you’ll also have access to exclusive larger bundles of FP! You can find more info in our FAQ post along with the link - https://kano.helpshift.com/hc/en/5-pirate-clan/faq/781-xsolla-webstore/

A reminder to our players about completing the Kano ID account upgrade. Eligible players (Facebook/Server 1 players) will see the banner on their homepage in-game near the top and it should only take a couple minutes. There are wonderful benefits to doing so:

25 FP bonus for signing up
Secure your account (protection against potential loss of your Facebook or Mobile credentials)
Switch between devices or logging onto other Kano hosted sites
Specials offers on Kanoplay

You can read more details here in our FAQ - https://kano.helpshift.com/hc/en/5-pirate-clan/faq/709-how-do-i-upgrade-to-a-kano-id/
