Even if he is the worst pirate anyone has ever heard of, they have still heard of him. Jack Sparrow is truly an icon and the face of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. The stellar character played by Johnny Depp has drunkenly stumbled his way onto the Fortnite island, making port along with a few familiar faces from Pirates of the Caribbean. Players can celebrate the return of Captain Jack Sparrow, for the Fortnite x Pirates of the Caribbean collab brings the beloved rum-drinking pirate onto shores for use in all of Fortnit e's modes, and even LEGO Fortnite.

The Pirates of the Caribbean have set their eyes on the Fortnite island to loot up and claim a victory crown, but which of them does it in style?

Whilst some players managed to get their hands on Jack Sparrow early due to a slight mix-up in June 22, those who have patiently waited for the pirate's life can celebrate, as July 19 provides everyone with the opportunity to get Captain Jack Sparrow for their lockers. Players might want to hurry, as Jack won't be around forever, and if he doesn't end up in your locker, he may end up in that of Davy Jones'.

How to Get Jack Sparrow

  • That's "Captain" Jack Sparrow.

Upon loading into Fortnite, players will need to head through the tabs to the Cursed Sails Pass (found in the tabs as a pirate ship symbol). This event pass is for Pirates of the Caribbean x Fortnite, and players must purchase this Pass for 1,000 V-Bucks in order to obtain Jack Sparrow. Luckily, there isn't much to it than that if players just want Jack Sparrow. Upon purchasing the Cursed Sails Pass, players are granted instant access to Jack Sparrow, along with a LEGO style for use in LEGO Fortnite.

Jack Sparrow can be used across various game modes, and even comes with two styles: hat on, or hat off. The likeness to Johnny Depp is uncanny, even with a Fortnite art style twist. Once players have claimed Jack Sparrow, they can unlock further cosmetics and rewards through the Cursed Sails Pass quests, including a separate Jack Sparrow skin from Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.

How to Get Cursed Jack Sparrow

  • That's "Cursed Captain" Jack Sparrow.

Once players have purchased the Cursed Sails Pass for 1,000 V-Bucks, they will need to complete the Pirates of the Caribbean specific quests that appear in Fortnite's Battle Royale mode. Upon doing so, they will earn XP and Cursed Gold, a specific XP needed to progress through this event pass. Unlocking Cursed Jack Sparrow might take a while, as players need 11,000 Cursed Gold, and they can only acquire more when more Cursed Sails quests are released, which should become active every Tuesday and Thursday at 10 AM ET.

Players can also spend 150 V-Bucks to skip the quests and waiting times to get one step closer to unlocking Cursed Jack Sparrow. Each Tier in the Cursed Sails Premium Pass will grant 2 unlocks, and the final unlock on Tier 11 is the Cursed Jack Sparrow skin. This means that if players purchase the Cursed Sails pass, and then purchase rewards, they are looking at a total of 2,750 V-Bucks for Jack Sparrow and Cursed Jack Sparrow, as opposed to just spending 1,000 V-Bucks and unlocking this skeletal figure through quests.

Cursed Jack Sparrow might be a desirable skin to some, as it comes with a LEGO style of a skeleton Jack Sparrow, and the skin itself looks great in-game with a few tactical advantages on top of looking pretty cool. As a skeleton, players can see through their player model more easily thanks to the bone arms. Just be mindful of pocketing Aztec gold and those creepy bulging eyes.

How Long Until Jack Sparrow Leaves Fortnite?

Players will have until August 6, 4 AM ET to purchase and unlock Jack Sparrow and the rest of the Cursed Sails cosmetics, as this is the exact date and time that the pass will become unavailable. Whilst event passes are not Battle Passes, meaning that they can re-enter the Item Shop someday, it is unclear whether Jack Sparrow will share that fate, especially when he features a price of 1,000 V-Bucks with the pass, which is far cheaper than other Pirates of the Caribbean skins in the Shop.
