What each Captain's Day adds
Nov 1: A$AP Rocky & the Straw Hats
The season opened on the new Crossbones Isle. You could fight A$AP Rocky aboard his ship for the Shock Rocket and the Lil' Flacko Sprite. Treasure map fragments also appeared around the island. Solid Gold A$AP Rocky was the first weekly gold outfit.
Nov 7: Lil Uzi Vert, Cuddle Team Leader & Buggy
Lil Uzi Vert and Cuddle Team Leader claimed a fort, while Buggy and a Megalodon crashed onto the island. New weapons and Sprites arrived, including the Cursed Sprite variant. Solid Gold Lil Uzi Vert took over the gold outfit slot.
Nov 12: Gold Sprite
Epic lists this as a Captain's Day. It brings the Gold Sprite variant, which grants bonus XP from eliminations.
Nov 14: Hatsune Miku & Kasane Teto
Miku and Teto take over the resort with returning weapons, plus a leek you can wield. It falls on the same Saturday as Treasure Hours, so expect a busy day.
Nov 21: Oscar
Oscar sails in with his own ship and the Frenzy Auto Shotgun. This is the last Captain's Day announced before the season ends.
Epic hasn't detailed every drop in advance. We'll add specifics as each Captain's Day goes live.
Mastery Monday and Treasure Hours
- Mastery Monday, every Monday from 9 AM ET: 2× Sprite XP and 2× Sprite Dust all day, plus more Sprite Chests and Wanted Posters (which lead to buried Sprite Chests) across the island Official.
- Treasure Hours, announced Saturdays (Nov 14, 21, 28): two 2-hour sessions with boosted treasure odds and free starting items.
Do Captain's Days help you find the Pirate Shop Token?
There's no evidence a Captain's Day changes the token rate itself, which Epic lists as 1 in 137,500 per chest in a normal match. What can change is how many chests you open:
- Mondays mean more chests. Extra Sprite Chests and Wanted Posters are extra rolls.
- New Sprites can speed you up. Chest-finding Sprites help you reach more chests per match.
- Busy days are crowded. Captain's Days bring players back, so popular landing spots get hotter. Quieter loot routes can mean more chests.
- Nov 14 stacks with Treasure Hours. Boosted odds plus a fresh content day makes it one of the best hunting days of the season.
Track your rolls with the chest counter.
Captain's Days and your Pirate Shop window
If you've found the token, Captain's Days matter for a different reason: crew arrivals on the island often line up with their outfits in the Item Shop. If you're waiting for Miku and Teto or Oscar, keep an eye on the shop around Nov 14 and 21 before you start your 14 days. See how to activate the Pirate Shop for timing tips. Epic hasn't confirmed shop dates for these.
