Core Takeaways
The November 8 “Captain’s Day” update brings Lil Uzi Vert as a boss, his exotic SMG, new map fragments, and the official return of Cursed sprite variants. There’s also an important mechanic fix regarding the Pirate Token: breaking a chest after opening it no longer triggers a second drop roll. Epic’s official drop rates confirm the Pirate Token’s base odds at 1 in 137,500, with boosts during Treasure Hour. If you’re short on V-Bucks for the new cosmetic drops, FN Top Up is a convenient option.
1. Lil Uzi Vert Boss: Location, Strategy, and Drops
1.1 Location
Lil Uzi Vert is located on the west side of Lil’ Uzi’s Stronghold (formerly Fortune’s Fort). He attacks players on sight. His exotic SMG is extremely lethal at close range, so bring a ranged weapon, keep your distance, and use buildings and rocks for line-of-sight cover.
1.2 Drops
|
Exotic SMG with controllable recoil, fire rate ramps up while continuously firing, and grants a movement speed bonus while held. At close range, the high fire rate can outgun shotguns—if your aim is good enough |
|
|
Triggers a Chug Splash effect when restoring shields, effectively granting extra health while recharging. Effect scales with sprite level |
Note: The Lil Uzi Jr. sprite does not drop in bot lobbies.
1.3 Map Fragment
Lil Uzi Vert’s map fragment is at the east corner of the Stronghold, inside the small hut in front of the waterfall—on the right as you enter. You can grab the fragment before fighting the boss to avoid the area being looted by others afterward.
Practical advice: Land at the east hut for the fragment first, then approach the boss from the side and chip him down with ranged weapons. If you hear gunfire, other players are likely fighting him too—be ready for third parties.
2. Cursed Sprites Officially Return
Cursed sprites briefly appeared by mistake at the start of the season and were disabled the next day. The November 8 update officially adds them to the normal sprite pool.
2.1 Effects
|
Increases the chance of rare sprite variants (applies to all sprite |
|
Cursed sprites also retain the effects of their base variant.
Practical advice: If you’re farming sprite collection, Cursed is worth using—but avoid rivers, lakes, and coastlines. If you’re playing matches seriously, Fortune variants (which reveal nearby chests) are more practical.
2.2 Sprite Count Update
According to in-game numbering, sprites now go up to 33, meaning two more variants are still to come. Fortune and Cursed variants of Lil Uzi Jr. have also been added.
3. Pirate Token: Mechanic Fix and Drop Rates
3.1 Key Fix: Breaking an Opened Chest No Longer Gives a Second Roll
There was previously a claim that “breaking a chest after opening it triggers a second roll.” That mechanic has been fixed: if you open a chest first and then break it, you do not get a second drop chance. But if you directly break an unopened chest (or destroy the structure it sits on), that still counts as a normal drop roll.
Practical advice: If you see an already-opened chest, don’t waste time breaking it. Move on to the next unopened one.
