Fortnite Captain's Days: who's in charge each week
In Fortnite's Treasure Hunters mini-season, the island gets a new Captain every week. Each one brings a crew, a spot on the map and a different loot pool, so the game shifts as the season goes on.
The Captains, week by week
| Date | Captain |
|---|---|
| 1 November | A$AP Rocky |
| 7 November | Lil Uzi Vert |
| 14 November | Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto |
| 21 November | Oscar |
These are the dates in the patch-note coverage. Some outlets list a Captain's Day on 8 November at 9 AM Eastern, so check the in-game news on the day.
What changes when a Captain arrives
Each Captain takes command of the island with their crew and a location of their own. The loot pool shifts with the Captain in charge, so a weapon you relied on last week may be harder to find. New items can drop in with a Captain too.
Content updates land weekly, on 7, 14 and 21 November, and update v43.10 on 12 November brings back Gold Sprites. The Captains' outfits tend to appear in the Item Shop around their week.
Treasure Hours
Treasure Hours replace last season's Power Hours. They run on Saturdays, with windows reported at 2 to 4 PM and 9 to 11 PM Eastern, and they boost the loot. During them you're reported to start with a Shock Rocket and a Self-Revive, and Fortune Sprites drop more often. That makes them the best time to hunt chests for a Pirate Shop token.
Mastery Mondays
Mastery Mondays are unchanged: you get double Sprite XP and Sprite Dust every Monday. If you're working through Sprite Mastery, save your Sprite play for Mondays.
How to get the most out of the week
- Read the in-game news when you log in on a Captain's Day to see what moved.
- Do your weekly quests early, before the loot pool changes again.
- Play a few matches in Treasure Hours on Saturday for better loot.
- Push Sprite Mastery on Mondays for double progress.
What about after the last Captain?
Oscar's week is the last one listed. After that, the season builds to its end event, which Epic has hinted is on Saturday 5 December. Follow the countdown in our XP planner and see what we know about Chapter 8.
