Ketchcrash is built as a repeatable farm: every clear pushes your seasonal progression, fills your inventory with pirate loot, and feeds into Expedition maps and long-term crafting.

Ketchcrash is a six-player matchmade seasonal activity from Season of Plunder where Guardians defend their own Fallen Ketch, board an enemy ship, clear randomized encounters, and defeat a pirate captain boss. It is designed as a repeatable loot farm for seasonal weapons, armor, Map Fragments, and other pirate-themed rewards.
To start Ketchcrash, open the Director, go to the HELM, and select the Ketchcrash node on the left side of the screen. From there you can choose the standard difficulty or, if unlocked and properly geared, the tougher Master Ketchcrash.
Efficient clears follow a simple flow: defend your Ketch and align cannon accelerators, board the enemy vessel, complete one of the mid-ship objectives (Walkers, Security Optic, or Ether tanks), and then finish the final boss in as few damage phases as possible. Strong add-clear, clear role assignment on plates, and focused DPS during boss windows drastically reduce run time.
Master Ketchcrash is mainly worth it for the Triumphs, title progress, Pinnacle rewards, and a chance at extra high-end materials such as Ascendant Alloys. It’s significantly harder and lacks matchmaking, so most players treat it as a targeted challenge rather than an everyday farm.
Ketchcrash drops Season of Plunder weapons and armor, Map Fragments, Treasure Coordinates, and standard Legendary loot, with extra chances at Deepsight and crafting materials in higher tiers. Completing multiple runs per week also contributes to Powerful and Pinnacle reward sources.
Normal Ketchcrash supports matchmaking, but coordination is still hit-or-miss with random players. Master Ketchcrash requires a pre-made fireteam or a boosting group, as it disables matchmaking and expects raid-level discipline.
