Fortnite’s Treasure Hunters season isn’t slowing down. Another Captain’s Day is scheduled for November 12, 2026, with more characters, weapons, Sprites, and pirate-themed surprises planned throughout the month.
Lil Uzi Vert has already taken over part of Crossbones Isle, bringing a new SMG and a rather useful little Sprite. Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto are next in line, followed by Oscar and his Frenzy Auto Shotgun later in November.
There’s one detail worth clearing up before we get into the schedule. Epic Games has confirmed November 12 as a Captain’s Day, but hasn’t revealed which specific gameplay additions will arrive on that date. Several other releases are confirmed, though, including new Item Shop outfits and a Music Pass.
Here’s what’s happening this week, what has already been added, and what’s still on the way.
What’s Coming to Fortnite on November 12?
November 12 is the next Captain’s Day listed on Epic’s official Treasure Hunters calendar. These events introduce additional content to Battle Royale, with new captains, weapons, Sprites, and other discoveries appearing throughout the season.
The exact gameplay additions for November 12 haven’t been announced yet. That also means there’s no confirmed list of new weapons or Sprites specifically tied to Thursday’s event.
Two other releases are already scheduled for the same date.
Lil Uzi Vert joins the Fortnite Item Shop on November 12, giving players a chance to pick up his cosmetic outfit. His appearance as a Battle Royale boss is a separate feature that arrived on November 8.
Kasane Teto’s Music Pass also begins on November 12, adding another part of the season’s growing music collaborations.
I’m curious whether Epic has something else planned for Thursday. A Captain’s Day appearing between two larger weekly additions is an interesting choice, especially when the surrounding events already have named characters and weapons.
For now, though, it’s better to keep expectations realistic rather than assume another huge update is coming.
Lil Uzi Vert’s New Weapon and Sprite Are Already Available
The latest major Treasure Hunters addition arrived on November 8, when Lil Uzi Vert took over the Stronghold as a new boss.
Defeating him gives players a chance to obtain Lil Uzi Vert’s Lil’ SMG, an unusual weapon that fires progressively faster the longer the trigger is held.
It also provides a movement speed boost, making it particularly interesting for players who prefer aggressive, mobile combat.
The same event introduced Lil’ Uzi Vert Jr., a new Sprite with a defensive ability. Restoring your shields while carrying this companion triggers a Chug Splash effect, offering another way to recover during a match.
There was also a 24-hour event starting November 8 at 9 AM ET, during which Lil’ Uzi Vert Jr. Sprite variants appeared more frequently.
Cursed Sprite variants began appearing in the wild during the November 8 event as well. These companions improve the chances of finding rare Sprite variants, but there’s a catch: water damages players carrying them.
On an island surrounded by water, that’s a drawback worth remembering.
A second Map Fragment also appeared, continuing the mystery surrounding the treasure hidden somewhere on Crossbones Isle.
I actually like how Epic is handling the map fragments. Rather than revealing everything at the beginning of the season, they’re giving players another reason to return and explore after each Captain’s Day.
Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto Arrive on November 15
The next major Captain’s Day after November 12 is scheduled for Sunday, November 15.
This time, Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto are taking over the island’s resort. Epic has confirmed that the event will include returning weapons and a leek that players can wield.
Yes, a leek. Fortnite has reached the point where that barely counts as a strange weapon anymore.
The developers haven’t published a complete list of the returning weapons for this event. However, the season’s official loot notes already mention the Lever Action Shotgun and Flapjack Rifle among the weapons planned to return later.
Their exact release dates haven’t been confirmed, so neither should be treated as guaranteed for November 15.
There are also several cosmetic releases surrounding the event.
Buggy from One Piece arrives in the Item Shop on November 13, while Cap’n Hatsune Miku is scheduled for November 14. Kasane Teto’s Music Pass starts earlier, on November 12.
Players interested in competitive events should also keep an eye on the One Piece: Buggy Cup on November 13. Top regional performers can earn the Buggy Outfit and related rewards, with eligibility depending on the competition rules and region.
Between the One Piece content and the new music collaborations, it’s shaping up to be a busy weekend.
Oscar Brings the Frenzy Auto Shotgun on November 22
The November 22 Captain’s Day will introduce another recognizable Fortnite character.
Oscar is returning with his own ship and the Frenzy Auto Shotgun, according to Epic’s official Treasure Hunters notes.
The Frenzy Auto Shotgun is a weapon that rewards close-range aggression, and its return could give players another option for pushing opponents indoors or fighting around tight corners.
We’ll have to see how it performs against the other shotguns and special weapons available during the season.
November 22 also marks the planned return of Gold Sprite variants.
Gold Sprites provide bonus Sprite XP from eliminating opponents, making them particularly appealing to players working through Sprite Mastery.
That may be one of the more useful additions for anyone still trying to finish their collection before Treasure Hunters ends.
Epic hasn’t revealed every detail of Oscar’s event, including whether another completely new Sprite will accompany him. Additional information should become available closer to the date.
Treasure Hours and Mastery Mondays Continue
Captain’s Days aren’t the only events worth following during November.
Treasure Hours now take place on Saturdays, bringing temporary bonuses such as increased drops and special equipment at the beginning of matches.
The November 7 Fortune Treasure Hours event, for example, gave players A$AP Rocky’s Shock Rocket and a Self-Revive Device at the start of each match. Fortune Sprite variants also appeared more frequently.
Future Treasure Hours may feature different bonuses, so it’s worth checking the event announcements rather than expecting the same equipment every Saturday.
Mastery Monday is another recurring event, particularly useful for Sprite collectors.
Every Monday, beginning at 9 AM ET, players can earn double Sprite XP and double Sprite Dust throughout the day.
With more Sprites arriving during the season, those bonuses could make a real difference when working toward mastery rewards.
The Treasure Hunters Sprite Mastery track includes Lucky Locators, Golden Fireworks, and other Gizmos. Mastering 40 Sprites also unlocks the Navigator’s Nosedive Umbrella.
I wouldn’t leave all that collecting until the final weekend. There are already quite a few companions to find, and several of the better rewards require a decent amount of progress.
All Remaining Fortnite Treasure Hunters Dates
Here’s the schedule Epic has announced for the rest of November.
| Date | Confirmed or announced content |
| November 12 | Captain’s Day, Lil Uzi Vert Item Shop arrival, Kasane Teto Music Pass |
| November 13 | Buggy Item Shop arrival and One Piece: Buggy Cup |
| November 14 | Cap’n Hatsune Miku Item Shop arrival |
| November 15 | Miku and Teto take over the resort, returning weapons and a wieldable leek |
| November 22 | Oscar arrives with his ship and Frenzy Auto Shotgun; Gold Sprite variants return |
| December 5 | Chapter 7 end event |
Epic hasn’t confirmed exact start times for every upcoming Captain’s Day, and additional event details could change before their scheduled dates.
Treasure Hunters Still Has More Surprises Ahead
Fortnite’s November 12 event lands in the middle of a busy stretch for Treasure Hunters.
Lil Uzi Vert’s new SMG, his Sprite, and Cursed variants are already available, while the next two Sundays promise more substantial additions to Crossbones Isle.
The Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto takeover sounds particularly entertaining, and Oscar’s return could shake up the weapon selection later this month.
I’m also interested in seeing what happens with Captain X’s mysterious treasure. Epic has been teasing it since the beginning of the season, and the weekly Map Fragments suggest there’s still something important left to uncover.
Treasure Hunters is heading toward a Chapter 7 end event on December 5, 2026. Until then, players have more captains to challenge, rewards to collect, and a few mysteries left to solve.
The next date to watch is November 12, although the bigger gameplay additions currently confirmed are scheduled for November 15 and November 22.
