Treasure Hunters Week 3 ends on Nov. 22 at 9 a.m. ET, when the gold Miku set leaves the Fortnite chests. See the exact times, the odds and what stays.

Treasure Hunters Week 3, the Fortnite treasure-hunting mini-season, ends on Sunday, November 22, 2026, at 2 p.m. UTC (9 a.m. ET). That is the exact moment Epic Games swaps the weekly chest reward pool: from then on, Solid Gold Miku, the Miku's Takarabako back bling, the PPPP Jam Track, the May Fortune Find You loading screen and the gold Corvette ZR1 stop showing up in the roll and give way to the Week 4 set, headlined by Solid Gold Kasane Teto. Players still missing pieces of the collection have the last two Treasure Hours windows to try — Saturday, November 21, in the afternoon, and the early hours of Sunday. After the reset there is no announced replacement: Epic has not said whether those items will return to chests, the Item Shop or future events.

The exact deadline, time zone by time zone

Week 3 began on Sunday, November 15, when Battle Royale chests started rolling the Cap'n Hatsune Miku set, and it lasts exactly seven days. The closing follows the season's weekly reset clock, fixed at 9 a.m. Eastern Time — which, since US daylight saving ended on November 1, equals 2 p.m. UTC.

The conversion matters because the game does not show a personal countdown: the server clock is what counts. A match that starts at 8:55 a.m. ET on Sunday can still produce a Week 3 chest; one opened five minutes later already rolls the Week 4 pool. The same applies to the moment a chest is opened: the prize is decided when the lid goes up, not when the match ends.

What is at stake: the five Week 3 rewards

The weekly Treasure Hunters set always has five items — a gold outfit, a back bling or pickaxe, a vehicle with a decal, a Jam Track and a loading screen — and every chest opened in Battle Royale is an independent attempt against that list. In Week 3, the set belongs to the virtual vocaloid duo that Epic labels internally as "Miku & Teto Arrive".

Two items stay in the pool for the whole season and therefore do not expire on Sunday: the Pirate Shop Access Token, at 1 in 137,500 per chest, and the five Gizmos, at 1 in 127. The gold outfit is the rarest prize in the game: in regular matches, the 1 in 1,562,500 chance is roughly eleven times smaller than the token's — which in practice turns the hunt for Solid Gold Miku into a lottery of chest volume rather than a goal you can chase with strategy.

There is also an efficiency detail many players overlook: chest rewards are shared with the squad. One member opening the winning chest is enough for everyone to receive the item. Playing in a group multiplies attempts without increasing individual effort — and it is the only known way to speed up the collection of all five items before the reset.

The weekly turnover did not bring cosmetics alone. On the November 15 Captain's Day, Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto arrived at the point of interest that early season material called Rubber Resort and that the v43.10 notes named Friendship Villa, on the coast of Crossbones Isle. Along with the duo, the Leekcapper and the Flapjack Rifle returned to the loot pool, and the season's third Map Fragment entered the game.

"The Virtual Divas are on approach! 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 Leekcapper and the Flapjack Rifle join the loot pool, and a third Map Fragment surfaces this weekend."

What expires when the week turns

When the clock hits 2 p.m. UTC on November 22, three things change at once. The first is the reward set: the five weekly items leave the pool and are replaced by the Week 4 package. The second is the treasure display: the game starts showing the new list on the reward screen and in the adventure menu, with Kasane Teto's gold outfit as the headline. The third is the race against the season calendar, which has only two more turnovers before the end.

"Each week, a new captain arrives in Battle Royale with their own crew and POI: the Straw Hats and A$AP Rocky lead the way, followed by Lil Uzi Vert, Cap'n Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto. New treasures lie hidden across the Island, including what's inside Captain X's mega chest."

What does not expire at the reset is the structure of the hunt. The Pirate Shop Access Token stays in chests until the mini-season closes on December 5, and the 2026 activation window can be used until December 15 — a deadline that applies even to players who find the item on the final day. Gizmos, Sprites and the Map Fragment quests also follow the season calendar, not the weekly one.

The Week 3 cosmetics, on the other hand, have no confirmed alternative route. Epic has not published any statement about the weekly gold outfits returning, and official guidance has been the same since the event began: rewards appear only in chests opened during the matching week. Promises of a "Solid Gold Miku code" or accounts with the outfit unlocked circulate on sites and videos, but no official code exists for these items.

The final hours: Treasure Hours on November 21 and 22

Two Treasure Hours windows still fall inside Week 3, and they multiply the odds of rare treasures. The first opens on Saturday, November 21, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. UTC — 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in Brasília. The second starts at 2 a.m. UTC on Sunday, November 22 — 11 p.m. on Saturday in Brasília — and runs until 4 a.m. UTC, or 1 a.m. on Sunday. Both end before the reset, but the second is the one players miss most often, because it starts and ends on different calendar days in Brazil.

Note that the back bling, the Jam Track and the loading screen get no multiplier: their odds stay the same as in a regular match. The real gain from Treasure Hours sits in the gold outfit and the vehicle — and, as a consequence, in the chance to close out the weekly collection before it disappears. For players aiming only at Solid Gold Miku, the two hours on Saturday are worth more than any other window of the week.

The calendar until the end of the season

Treasure Hunters is a five-week mini-season that began on November 1 and ends on December 5, when Chapter 7 closes with a special event. Every Sunday at 9 a.m. ET, a new captain takes over Battle Royale and a new treasure set enters the chests.

The Week 4 and Week 5 lists are already circulating in game-file leaks and in the community-run reward tracker. Epic only confirms each set when it enters the chests, and names or items can change before the turnover — which is why the only official list is the one shown on the in-game reward screen.

Week 5 is shorter: six days instead of seven, because the chapter's closing event begins on December 5 at 7 p.m. UTC. After that, the treasure roll in Battle Royale chests ends along with the season — and any item not collected by then has no known source.

What changes in Week 4 and how to prepare

From November 22, the headline becomes Solid Gold Kasane Teto, joined by the Rogue Wave and Tidewalker back bling, the Sea Shanty Jam Track, the Oscar's Wraps loading screen and the gold Lamborghini Urus SE. The collection logic is identical: Battle Royale chests, fixed odds per item, rewards shared across the squad. Anyone who missed Week 3 cannot make up for it with V-Bucks, passes or promo codes.

For players planning their routine, the practical advice is simple: open as many chests per match as possible on high-density routes, play in a squad to multiply the rolls and save the two weekend Treasure Hours windows. The exact length of the four-hour bonus explains why the sessions are split into two blocks and how the Brazilian time zone affects each one.

It is also worth reviewing what arrived with update 43.10, which added 25 Sprites, brought the Zero Point back and opened the Friendship Villa point of interest, where Miku and Teto greet players. For those who have not yet found the event's most coveted item, the Pirate Shop Token guide details how to activate the 14 days of free Item Shop access and which offers are excluded. More season news is available in the Fortnite section of O Santuário Geek.

The times and odds used in this article come from the official Fortnite Treasure Hunters announcement, the v43.10 update notes published by Epic Games and the public reward tracker maintained by the community, which records the end of Week 3 at 2 p.m. UTC on November 22.
