Fortnite Update 43.10 Patch Notes – Buggy Boss, New Sprites, and Treasure Hours - VICE

The November 12 Fortnite update is here, and there’s already a new Captain to take on in Treasure Hunters. Epic Games also revealed what’s coming to Crossbones Isle this weekend, including another round of Treasure Hours. Here are the biggest changes in the Fortnite update 43.10 patch notes.

The November 12 Fortnite Update 43.10 is live, and One Piece’s Buggy is now a boss at the new Buggy’s Beachhead POI. If you’re jumping into Battle Royale today, you can head straight to the new Captain’s location and defeat him to get the Special Buggy Ball and Lever Action Shotgun.

There’s also a good reason to go after the other bosses on Crossbones Isle. Boss weapons are now guaranteed to drop when you defeat a boss. Some of the season’s Exotic weapons can also show up in Chests, and Epic teased that there’s a Chest that holds them all.

After being missing for weeks, the Cursed Kelper Sprite is finally available now, while the new Mini Miku, Squiplash, and the secret rare Zero Point Sprite are coming on Sunday, November 15. The update also adds a visual effect when a Cursed Sprite’s curse is active, so it’s easier to tell when the water is damaging you.

The next Fortnite Treasure Hours start Saturday, November 14, at 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET. This weekend’s event boosts Cursed Sprites, which increase your chances of finding rarer Sprite variants while you carry one. You’ll also drop in with Lil Uzi Vert’s Lil’ SMG during the event.

At the time of writing, it’s unclear whether the Fortnite Pirate Token will have boosted drop rates, as Epic did not mention it in the patch notes.

If you’re playing for the Pirate Token, Epic’s patch notes confirm a boost for Cursed Sprites. A Pirate Token drop-rate boost for November 14 is still unconfirmed.

Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto arrive at Friendship Villa on Sunday, November 15. Both Captains are friendly, so you can go straight to the villa to visit them. The Leekcapper and Flapjack Rifle are also joining the loot pool, and the third Treasure Map Fragment will be available this weekend.

One of the more useful changes in this patch is that the Chest icon now shows whether the loot is above or below you. To see the new arrows, turn on Visualize Sound Effects under Settings → Audio → Sound. Epic also made the sound indicators easier to see, increased the contrast of undiscovered areas on the minimap, and added more variety to the Battle Bus music.
