Making Mayhem Event introduces Borderlands Ship Set to Sea of Thieves

Xbox's recent Gamescom 2021 stream unveiled Sea of Thieves' Making Mayhem Event and there's a Mayhem Ship Set for you to get your hands on for the next couple of weeks. This Borderlands-themed event is all about blowing things up and causing... Mayhem! Here's everything you need to know about how you can get your hands on the new Mayhem Ship Set in Sea of Thieves.

How to unlock the Mayhem Ship Set?

All you need to do to earn the Mayhem Ship Set - which you can check out in the Tweet below - is earn Favour with Larinna and the Bilge Rats! It sounds easy, really, and that's because it is. There's going to be a set of Minor and Major Mayhem Challenges for you to complete.
