Sails of the Shipstealer will not be immediately available for players loading into Season of Plunder. A few preliminary objectives must be completed before it can be accessed.

The first objective is titled Salvage and Salvation. It requires players to help Drifter take back some of his stolen cargo from House Salvation. This mission can be launched from the Destinations tab at the H.E.L.M.

Once this is done, players will take on Ahoy and Aweigh. This is the Ketchcrash activity that tasks Destiny 2 players with defeating Eramis' group of ragtag pirates at the location.

Upon the completion of Ahoy and Aweigh, players will be rewarded with the Map Fragment and Treasure Map information that will kickstart the Sails of the Shipstealer at the H.E.L.M.
