Getting the Aggression Out Battle the new Pirate Swarm in Alpha 3.7 Should you be a stout enough fighter to best the scurvy scourge, you'll find yourself staring down the abundant guns of a formidable new boss - a deadly pirate Hammerhead with a cadre of Buccaneers watching its back.
Fear not though. Taking out the dastardly gunship’s supporting minions will bring friendly AI pilots to fight by your side, helping to turn the tide of battle in your favor.
A victory will earn you the Pirate Aggressor badge and give you access to acquire not only the Pirate Caterpillar, but the all-new Pirate Gladius too. With an intimidating custom livery and a specially curated loadout, the Pirate Gladius is perfectly suited to pilots with a proclivity for scraps and skirmishes. A bountiful reward indeed.
Between you and victory...
Once you've completed the Pirate Swarm and defeated all who oppose you... You can take their spoils as your own.
