The Lil Uzi Vert Fortnite skin is due in the Item Shop on Thursday, November 12. That date is on Epic’s Treasure Hunters Shop schedule, as reported by VICE and RouteNote. Before that, Lil Uzi reaches the island itself. Epic’s v43.00 notes say “Lil Uzi Arrives” on Captain’s Day, November 8, and takes over a fort. Epic hasn’t shown the Shop set yet. It hasn’t named a Lil Uzi Sprite or a Jam Track either, so this page sticks to what Epic has confirmed.

When does the Lil Uzi Vert skin come out in Fortnite?
Epic published the Treasure Hunters Shop schedule before the season started on November 1. VICE (October 30) and RouteNote (November 2) carry the same list: Luffy, Nami and Usopp at launch, A$AP Rocky on November 5, Zoro, Sanji and the Chopper Sidekick on November 7, Lil Uzi Vert on November 12, Buggy on November 13, and Kasane Teto and Cap’n Hatsune Miku on November 14. RouteNote notes that these are Epic’s US dates. Depending on where you live, an item can show up on the following calendar day.
VICE puts every drop at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET. That’s the moment the Shop resets each day, 00:00 UTC. US daylight saving time ended on November 1, so ET is now UTC-5. Here’s 7 PM ET on November 12 in other time zones:
| Region | Local Shop time |
|---|---|
| US West (PT) | Thu Nov 12, 4:00 PM |
| US Central (CT) / Mexico City | Thu Nov 12, 6:00 PM |
| US East (ET) | Thu Nov 12, 7:00 PM |
| Brazil (BRT) | Thu Nov 12, 9:00 PM |
| UK (GMT) / UTC | Fri Nov 13, 12:00 AM (midnight) |
| Central Europe (CET) | Fri Nov 13, 1:00 AM |
| India (IST) | Fri Nov 13, 5:30 AM |
| Japan (JST) | Fri Nov 13, 9:00 AM |
| Sydney (AEDT) | Fri Nov 13, 11:00 AM |
The exact time is VICE’s reading of the schedule. Epic’s own wording gave a time only for A$AP Rocky, as covered in our Fortnite A$AP Rocky skin guide. Our Fortnite Zoro skin guide covers the November 7 One Piece drop.
Lil Uzi on Captain’s Day: November 8
Treasure Hunters brings in a new Captain every week. Epic’s v43.00 Treasure Hunters notes list Week 2 as “Lil Uzi Arrives (November 8)”:
- “Lil Uzi and Cuddle Team Leader claim a fort of their own.”
- Buggy and the Megalodon “crash onto the Island looking for trouble” on the same day.
- Week 2 adds “New weapons, strange new Sprites, and plenty of firepower for the hunt.” Epic hasn’t named those weapons or Sprites yet.
- The Cursed Sprite variant also arrives on November 8. Epic says it “increases your chance of finding rare Sprite variants, but water damages you.”
Some earlier coverage gave Week 2 as November 7. As of November 5, Epic’s notes say November 8, and the Week 3 and Week 4 dates are November 15 and November 22. Epic doesn’t give a time for Captain’s Day.

The fort is in the north-east of Crossbones Isle, labelled Lil’ Uzi’s Stronghold on Epic’s season map. Epic’s location list calls it Fort Fortuna: “Scale the walls of this fortress and search every rampart for your next upgrade.” Our best Fortnite landing spots in Treasure Hunters guide covers that corner of the map and will be updated after November 8.
What’s in the Lil Uzi Vert Fortnite set?
Epic hasn’t shown the set yet. No Outfit names, Styles, emotes, Back Blings, pickaxes or prices have appeared on any Epic page we can read. So far, the only look at Lil Uzi’s Outfit is the eight-second teaser he posted on Instagram on October 22. Beebom describes it as his Icon Series Outfit “bathed in pink and purple”. It also gives a glimpse of an anime-style Cuddle Team Leader. According to VICE, that Cuddle Team Leader anime look comes from the Treasure Hunters Battle Pass, not the Shop.
Item lists, bundle prices and “free Solid Gold” claims for Lil Uzi are going around online. They come from game files and leak accounts, not from Epic, so we’ve left them out. We’ll add the real set on November 12, when it’s in the Shop. It’ll also be on our Fortnite Item Shop today page.

Is there a Lil Uzi Sprite in Fortnite?
Epic hasn’t announced one by name. A$AP Rocky’s week came with a named Sprite: Epic says he “can drop” the Lil’ Flacko Sprite when you beat him as a Boss. For Lil Uzi’s week, Epic’s notes only promise “strange new Sprites” on November 8. A Lil Uzi Sprite would fit the pattern, but any name or ability you see right now isn’t from Epic.
Is there a Lil Uzi Vert Jam Track?
Not as part of Treasure Hunters, at least not yet. Epic’s notes and Shop schedule don’t name any Lil Uzi Vert songs. If Jam Tracks come with the November 12 Shop set, they’ll show up in the Shop’s Jam Tracks section, and we’ll add them here.
How to get the Lil Uzi Vert Fortnite skin
- Buy it in the Item Shop from November 12 at 7 PM ET (00:00 UTC November 13). Prices appear when the set goes live.
- Or claim it with Pirate Shop Access if you won that Treasure Hunters reward and its window covers the day the set is in the Shop.
- Ignore “free Lil Uzi skin” codes. Epic hasn’t announced a redeem code for this collab.
