The Cursed Sails event for Fortnite has arrived along with Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean characters (and skins), a new location, some unvaulted items, and the new Cursed Sails Pass and rewards. Cursed Sails runs until Tuesday, August 6, 2024.
Let’s talk about everything new with the Cursed Sails update in Fortnite.
Shipwreck Shallows location
Right in the center of the Battle Royale Island, you’ll find the new Shipwreck Shallows location. It’s a shallow pool full of, unsurprisingly, shipwrecks.
Pirates skins in the Fortnite shop
Three new skin packs have been added to the Fortnite shop. You can pick up Elizabeth Swan, Captain Barbossa, and Davey Jones skins, Lego skins, pickaxes, and back bling for 1,600 V-Bucks each. There’s also a bundle of all of the Pirates-themed offerings for 3,400 V-Bucks.
New and unvaulted items
One new item and three unvaulted items have arrived with the Cursed Sails update:
- Ship in a Bottle — creates a rideable spectral ship that crashes into your enemies
- Pirate Cannon — scattered around Shipwreck Shallows, these cannons will launch you into the air or straight at your enemies
- Treasure Maps — can be found in chests all over the island and lead you to buried treasure
- Flint-Knock Pistol — can be found in chests or just scattered around anywhere on the island
Pirate Codes and Cursed Gold
Along with the arrival of the shipwrecks and Captain Jack, there are new pirate-themed quests. These quests are broken up into Pirate Codes that work like the previous Avatar: Elements and TMNT Cowabunga quests.
They’re broken into eight parts with six quests each:
- The Pirate Code One Quests are live now.
- The Pirate Code Two Quests go live July 21 at 9 am ET.
- The Pirate Code Three Quests go live July 23 at 9 am ET.
- The Pirate Code Four Quests go live July 25 at 9 am ET.
- The Pirate Code Five Quests go live July 27 at 9 am ET.
- The Pirate Code Six Quests go live July 29 at 9 am ET.
- The Pirate Code Seven Quests go live July 31 at 9 am ET.
- The Pirate Code Eight Quests go live August 2 at 9 am ET.
Completing four out of the six quests in each Pirate Code will earn you a Map Piece. Collecting all eight Map Pieces will earn you the Jack’s Ship glider.
Some of the quests will also earn you Cursed Gold that you’ll use to unlock rewards in the Cursed Sails Pass.
Cursed Sails Pass rewards
As you earn Cursed Gold from the various Pirate Code quests over the coming weeks, you can spend it on the rewards in the Cursed Sails Pass.
The rewards along the regular track include emotes, an instrument, back bling, and pickaxes. You can see all the rewards (minus the level-ups) in the gallery above.
For 1,000 V-Bucks, you can upgrade the Cursed Sails Pass reward track. The upgraded rewards include everything from the regular track along with new emotes, a pickaxe, and the Cursed Jack Sparrow skin.
