Epic has named more than 25 weapons and items for Fortnite Treasure Hunters across its two sets of update notes, and they arrive in three waves: a launch set, a batch of unvaulted classics, and a “later in the season” group that is being unlocked week by week. This guide puts every one of them in a single table, with what Epic says each does and when it shows up. It also answers a question that comes up for Sunday, November 15: no, Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto are not a boss fight. Epic says “the Captains come in peace” and adds the Leekcapper and the Flapjack Rifle to the loot pool instead (checked November 13, 2026, 17:58 UTC).

Fortnite Treasure Hunters weapons: quick answer
- Launch weapons (Nov 1): Bundlebuss Repeater Rifle, Gilded Dragoon Shotgun, Usopp’s Slingshot, A$AP Rocky’s Shock Rocket and the Explosive Cannon Ball, plus the Gum-Gum Fruit, Flame-Flame Fruit and Zoro’s Three Sword Style (Epic’s v43.00 notes).
- Unvaulted at launch: Sentinel Pump Shotgun, Auto Shotgun, Machine SMG, Tactical SMG, Hammer Assault Rifle, Flint-Knock Pistol and Sidearm Pistol.
- Arriving later: Lever Action Shotgun and Flapjack Rifle (listed “later in the season” on Nov 1), the Frenzy Auto Shotgun with Oscar on Nov 22, and the Leekcapper, which Epic’s v43.10 notes tie to Miku and Teto on Nov 15.
- Boss weapons now always drop: since update 43.10 a defeated boss is guaranteed to give up its weapon, according to Epic’s v43.10 notes.
- Exotics in Chests: “Some of the Season’s Exotic weapons may now appear in Chests”, and Epic teases one Chest that holds them all.

Every Treasure Hunters weapon and item, by wave
Descriptions are Epic’s own wording, shortened. Epic doesn’t print damage numbers or rarities for any of the new guns in these notes, so this table has none either. We haven’t played the season; for stats on the classic Lever Action Shotgun see our Buggy boss guide.
| Weapon or item | What Epic says | When |
|---|---|---|
| Bundlebuss Repeater Rifle | Fully automatic, fast-firing rifle; best at medium range | Nov 1 |
| Gilded Dragoon Shotgun | Single-fire shotgun that trades mag size for big damage | Nov 1 |
| Usopp’s Slingshot | Pull back and let fly; heavy rounds suit a marksman | Nov 1 |
| A$AP Rocky’s Shock Rocket | Shock Rock charges get you airborne, then rockets rain down. Non-Competitive only. Dropped by the A$AP Rocky boss | Nov 1 |
| Explosive Cannon Ball | Big explosive ball you throw or load into a Cannon. Non-Competitive only | Nov 1 |
| Gum-Gum Fruit | Become Luffy: long-range rubber punches, foot slams or a charged launch | Nov 1 |
| Flame-Flame Fruit | Become Ace: rapid shots, then a Fire Fist finisher | Nov 1 |
| Zoro’s Three Sword Style | Three katanas at once; slash and dash | Nov 1 |
| Nami’s Tangerine | Restores health and shields and boosts you while moving through water | Nov 1 |
| Meat on a Stick | Heals, then keeps healing for a short while | Nov 1 |
| Wanted Poster | Tear one off a wall and it becomes a Sprite Treasure Map to a buried Sprite Chest | Nov 1 |
| Special Buggy Ball and Lever Action Shotgun | Dropped by the Buggy boss | Nov 12 |
| Lil’ SMG | Lil Uzi Vert’s weapon; it drops in with you at Cursed Treasure Hours | Nov 14 (Treasure Hours) |
| The Leekcapper and Flapjack Rifle | “Join the loot pool”; Epic’s Week 3 text promises “returning weapons, plus a leek you can wield” | Nov 15 |
| Frenzy Auto Shotgun | Oscar’s weapon, “enough firepower to make his presence known” | Nov 22 |
One mismatch to know about: Beebom’s 43.10 patch-notes article lists the Lever Action Shotgun, Flapjack Rifle, The Leekcapper and Special Buggy Ball together as the four weapons added to the loot pool with the update. Epic’s own 43.10 text is more specific: the Leekcapper and Flapjack Rifle join with Captain’s Day on Sunday, so treat Epic’s dates as the ones to plan around. The Special Buggy Ball and Lever Action Shotgun come from the Buggy boss.
Unvaulted weapons: what came back on day one
Epic’s loot-pool section for v43.00 lists these as unvaulted:
- Sentinel Pump Shotgun and Auto Shotgun
- Machine SMG and Tactical SMG
- Hammer Assault Rifle (Beebom lists a 43.10 fix so it no longer causes continuous camera shake once its magazine is empty)
- Flint-Knock Pistol and Sidearm Pistol
- Zipline Deployer and Overdrive Grenade
- Consumables: Slurp Juice, Shield Fish, Jellyfish, Slurpfish, Hop Flopper and Spicy Fish
Epic also vaulted Gold Bars, so follower services are free, and removed Vending Machines. In Zero Build, Pocket-O-Matics remain with Shockwave Grenade, Port-A-Bunker and Shield Bubble Jr. Chests refill over time, so an emptied Chest is worth a second visit. The Golden Apple now grants 40 Effective Health instead of 50 HP, with any overflow spilling into your Shield.
Boss weapons: where to get them
This is the biggest change in 43.10. Epic’s notes say: “Boss weapons are now a guaranteed drop. Beat ’em and get ’em!” The dev note explains why: with several Bosses spread across the Island, “there are plenty of fights to choose from”, so every Boss elimination drops one and the trip is always worth it. Here is every boss weapon Epic has named so far:
| Captain | Boss weapon (Epic) | Status |
|---|---|---|
| A$AP Rocky (The $.$. Rocky) | Shock Rocket, plus the Lil’ Flacko Sprite | Since Nov 1 |
| Lil Uzi Vert | Lil’ SMG (Epic calls it his weapon) | Since Nov 8 |
| Buggy (Buggy’s Beachhead) | Special Buggy Ball and Lever Action Shotgun | Since Nov 12 |
| Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto (Friendship Villa) | None: they are friendly. The Leekcapper and Flapjack Rifle enter the loot pool | Nov 15 |
| Oscar | Frenzy Auto Shotgun | Nov 22 |
Where each boss stands is in our bosses and Mythics guide and our best landing spots page.

Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto on Nov 15: how the Captain fights work
They don’t, this week. Epic’s v43.10 notes say Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto “arrive at Friendship Villa this Sunday, November 15 – and for this Captain’s Day, the Captains come in peace.” The notes end that entry with “Go pay the Divas a visit!” So there is no health bar, no boss reward and no extra drop that Epic names for the pair themselves. What Sunday adds, per Epic:
- Weapons: the Leekcapper and the Flapjack Rifle join the loot pool. Epic’s Week 3 teaser calls them “returning weapons, plus a leek you can wield”.
- Sprites: Mini Miku (a Friendship Bubble when you emote with other players), Squiplash (a healing smoke when your health is low) and a new secret rare Sprite “who may grant regenerating Zero Point Dash charges”. Beebom names that last Sprite as Zee. Details are in our Treasure Hunters Sprites list.
- Map: Friendship Villa, which Beebom says replaces Rubber Resort. A third Map Fragment surfaces this weekend.
- Cosmetics: Beebom says Cap’n Hatsune Miku comes to the Item Shop “later this week”. Prices and the full set are in our skins list, and the Teto Music Pass is in our Kasane Teto guide.
Epic gives no start hour for the Sunday arrival. Use the in-game timer, and see our Treasure Hours page for Saturday’s Cursed edition, which hands you Lil Uzi Vert’s Lil’ SMG at the start.
What to do with this before Sunday
These are our suggestions from Epic’s text, not tested tips:
- Fight a boss early. Boss weapons always drop now, so Buggy’s Beachhead is the one place to pick up a Lever Action Shotgun on purpose.
- Open Chests, then reopen them. Exotic weapons may now appear in Chests and Chests refill. Our vault locations guide shows where the Keys go.
- Don’t plan a tournament loadout around the Shock Rocket. Epic lists it, and the Explosive Cannon Ball, as non-Competitive only.
- Wait for Sunday to hunt the Leekcapper. Epic’s v43.10 notes give that date, and Epic doesn’t state a start hour.
