This season
Fortnite Treasure Hunters: everything in the One Piece season
Fortnite's Treasure Hunters mini-season started on 1 November 2026 with update v43.00. It swaps the whole island for Crossbones Isle, brings in One Piece, and runs for about five weeks.

Why it feels so different
Most seasons tweak the map. This one throws it away. Every Override location is gone, and Crossbones Isle is a smaller island shaped like a skull and crossbones. Epic cut the lobby to 80 players to match, so fights start sooner and the late game gets crowded faster than you're used to.
Gold Bars and Vending Machines are gone too, which changes how you gear up. Instead, you can hire NPCs for free, and chests matter more than ever because any of them can hold a Treasure Hunt prize.
Where to land
Reported named spots include Arlong Park, Baratie Bay, Loguetown, Windmill Village, Crew's Cove, Plunder Port, Fort Fortuna, Rubber Resort, Captain's Cenote and Lantern Lanes, plus a battleship where you fight A$AP Rocky as a boss.
On a smaller map, the busiest spots fill up fast. If you want a calm start, land at the edge of a named spot, loot a couple of buildings and rotate in once the first fights have thinned the lobby.
What's new to pick up
- Devil Fruits: the Gum-Gum Fruit and the Flame-Flame Fruit turn you into a stretchy or fiery fighter for a while.
- Zoro's Three Sword Style and Usopp's Slingshot: close-range blades and a slow, hard-hitting slingshot.
- New guns: the Bundlebuss Repeater Rifle and the Gilded Dragoon Shotgun.
- Healing: Nami's Tangerine (faster swimming too) and Meat on a Stick, which keeps healing you for a bit.
- See the full weapons and items guide for what's back from the vault.
Captain's Days and the weekly rhythm
Each week a new Captain takes charge of the island, bringing a crew, a spot on the map and changes to the loot. Treasure Hours on weekends add extra loot, and Mastery Mondays still double your Sprite progress. Our Captain's Days guide keeps the dates in one place.
Is the Battle Pass worth it?
At 800 V-Bucks, it's the usual price, but this season is shorter than most, so you have fewer days to finish it. If you're already level 30 or so and play most days, you'll be fine. If you're starting late, run your numbers through our XP planner first.
