Fortnite Treasure Hours November 7 takes place in two sessions this weekend: Saturday, November 7 from 7 to 9 PM GMT, then Sunday, November 8 from 2 to 4 AM GMT in the UK. Both sessions are part of Saturday’s event in the US, where Epic lists 2 to 4 PM and 9 to 11 PM Eastern Time.
The big change is your starting equipment: A$AP Rocky’s Shock Rocket and a Self-Revive are given to everyone at the start of a Treasure Hours match. Epic is also increasing the number of Fortune Sprite variants on the island. The next Captain’s Day is a separate event on Sunday afternoon.

The first Fortnite Treasure Hours November 7 session starts at 7 PM GMT on Saturday. The second starts at 2 AM GMT on Sunday. Both fall on Saturday in the US. Despite the name, each session lasts two hours.

|---|---|---|
| UK (GMT) | Sat Nov 7, 7 to 9 PM | Sun Nov 8, 2 to 4 AM |
| US Eastern (EST) | Sat Nov 7, 2 to 4 PM | Sat Nov 7, 9 to 11 PM |

| Sydney (AEDT) | Sun Nov 8, 6 to 8 AM | Sun Nov 8, 1 to 3 PM |
These are two different sessions, not one event that runs all night. If you’re joining the late UK window, remember it falls on Sunday morning even though Epic calls Treasure Hours a Saturday event.
What bonuses do you get during Fortnite Treasure Hours November 7?
Epic’s announcement is specific about the starting equipment. During both Treasure Hours sessions, players spawn with A$AP Rocky’s Shock Rocket and a Self-Revive. You don’t have to search a chest to get those two starting items during the event. That can change the first fight, because other players are landing with the same gear.
Epic says there will be more Fortune Sprite variants across the island. Fortune Sprites reveal nearby chests, so they could help while you’re looking for loot. However, Epic hasn’t published a percentage boost for any individual chest or item.
The Fortnite Treasure Hours November 7 starter gear is guaranteed by the event notice, but don’t confuse that with guaranteed legendary loot. There’s no official list saying everyone will start with a named SMG, a Pirate Shop Access Token or another captain’s weapon alongside the Shock Rocket.
How to join Fortnite Treasure Hours November 7
Open Fortnite during one of the announced windows and enter the Treasure Hunters Battle Royale experience. Check the event information for any playlist restrictions, then look at your starting inventory. You don’t need to buy an Outfit or Battle Pass to take part.
Epic has not published a complete mode-by-mode eligibility list in the schedule notice. Use the in-game event card for any playlist restrictions rather than assuming that every creative island, Reload mode or custom match receives these bonuses.
If you play outside the session window, normal loot rules apply. For Fortnite Treasure Hours November 7, make sure your match begins while a Treasure Hours session is active. If the event isn’t displayed, check the current Fortnite news and restart the game before assuming it has been cancelled.
Does Fortnite Treasure Hours November 7 improve Pirate Shop Token drop rates?
Epic has not confirmed a Pirate Shop Access Token drop-rate increase for these sessions. The announcement covers your starting items and Fortune Sprites, not a token multiplier or guaranteed token chest.
You can still spend the time opening Treasure Hunt chests, and Fortune Sprites may help you locate chests. Just don’t assume that a claim about a secret multiplier is true. Our Fortnite Pirate Shop drop-rate guide keeps the known reward mechanics and unverified percentages separate.
Treasure Hours versus Captain’s Day: which is on November 8?
There are two different things on the November calendar. Treasure Hours run on Saturday in US time, with the second window reaching Sunday morning in Europe. The next Captain’s Day was moved to Sunday November 8 at 2 PM GMT (9 AM EST). Epic says that update brings a new captain to the Stronghold and a new SMG.
The Cursed Sprite variant is also scheduled for November 7. It improves the chance of finding rare Sprite variants, but water damages you when its effect is active. Epic hasn’t confirmed an exact release hour. The new Stronghold content arrives separately on November 8. Our Cursed Sprites release guide and Captain’s Day November 7 reschedule article explain the difference.
Will Treasure Hours happen again next Saturday?
Treasure Hours are moving to Saturdays, but Epic hasn’t said that each one will use these same start times and items. The dates and starting equipment here are for Fortnite Treasure Hours November 7. Check new event notices before planning for November 14 or 21.
For the rest of the month, our Captain’s Days schedule tracks the November 8, 12, 15 and 22 island updates separately. This weekend, the simple plan is Saturday evening Treasure Hours in the UK, a second early Sunday session if you’re awake, and the new Captain’s Day at 2 PM GMT.
