Epic set Fortnite's first Cursed Treasure Hours for Saturday, November 14, in two rounds: the first at 2 p.m. ET (7 p.m. UTC), the second at 9 p.m. ET, which is 2 a.m. UTC on Sunday, November 15. Its v43.10 update notes of November 12 put it this way: "Every blessing has a curse. Cursed Sprites are boosted this Saturday, November 14, and the deal is simple - carrying one means a higher chance of rarer Sprite variant finds, but the water bites back. Last week's Captain is sharing the arsenal too - Lil Uzi Vert's Lil' SMG drops in with you."
When are the Cursed Treasure Hours?
| Round | UTC | New York (ET) | Los Angeles (PT) | London |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| First | 7 p.m., Nov. 14 | 2 p.m., Nov. 14 | 11 a.m., Nov. 14 | 7 p.m., Nov. 14 |
| Second | 2 a.m., Nov. 15 | 9 p.m., Nov. 14 | 6 p.m., Nov. 14 | 2 a.m., Nov. 15 |
Each round lasts two hours, Epic's news in the game said on November 14: from 2 to 4 p.m. ET, then from 9 to 11 p.m. ET (7 to 9 p.m. UTC, then 2 to 4 a.m. UTC on Sunday). The translated v43.10 notes do not always agree with the English ones: the Brazilian Portuguese, Russian and Latin American Spanish versions put both rounds at other hours, and the Korean one moves the second round to 11 p.m. in Korea. This table follows the English notes, whose two clocks, ET and UTC, agree with the French, Spanish and Chinese versions.
What the Cursed Sprites do
- A Cursed Sprite raises your chance of finding rarer Sprite variants, but water damages you while you carry it. Since v43.10, a visual effect shows when its curse is active.
- Kelper's Cursed variant, Cursed Kelper, has been in the game since November 12: Epic listed it among the new Sprites of v43.10.
- Lil Uzi Vert's Lil' SMG, the weapon of last week's Captain, drops in with you during the Treasure Hours, and so does a Self Revive, Epic's news in the game adds.
