Totems and Pirate update
The Wandering Trader arrives on days 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40 and 50 selling totems (trophies) that each make a run feel unique and help you get further or gain more Feathers. A new Pirate Duck hunts reward its Treasure Chest, which opens after a run for free and can grant bonus Feathers, special weapons (Flintlock, Blunderbuss) and dogs (Edward the pirate dog, Nelson the sailor dog). The Barret M82 sniper arrives in the weapon shop for Feathers, and the reworked Minigun returns to the shop feeling stronger. Gameplay: spectate after death with a revive timer, and revive other players. Daily rewards now claimable, featuring the dogs Laika (space dog) and OG Dog (the original dog). Military Crates leave in about a week — a pity system is planned but was delayed by an implementation issue. New code TROPHIES grants 150 Feathers. Pause feature is still in progress.
Alien-themed update teased
The official Discord #sneaks channel posts a teaser image captioned "aliens are in town" — an alien-themed content drop is on the way. Details (release date, features) have not been announced yet.
Alien update live — Nightmare mode, Alien Chest and two new bosses
The Alien update goes live (official Discord #updates, 2026-09-06): Nightmare mode arrives — a harder mode with more Feather earnings and shorter days. The new Alien Chest contains a new class (Alien General), four alien weapons (Ray Gun, The Needler, Plasma Gun, Plasma Chain Gun) and two new dogs (Alien Dog, Doom Dog). Two new bosses join the roster: the Alien Duck Mothership and the Evil Alien Duck. A new currency, Alien Feathers, drops from alien ducks and bosses in every game mode. Ships with bug fixes and optimisation.
Boss update — Phoenix boss, Lake map, plus quickfix
The Boss update is out (official Discord #updates, 2026-09-14): fight the new Phoenix boss in the brand new Lake map, and each day the bossfight gets harder with new combos and spells. Two new weapons join the game — Homemade Cannon and Flamethrower — along with two new dogs, Hellhound and Firefighter dog. A new code, SORRY, grants Alien and regular Feathers. Same-day quickfix: boss HP was buffed for more challenge, the first-day 10x luck boost was replaced with a global 5x luck boost for Phoenix crates, and the boss now gives 3 crates — at day 3, at day 7 and at day 10.
