In July 2024, Epic Games introduces players to the Cursed Sails pass, a paid pass that tracks progress alongside the regular seasonal battle pass. This new pass features a wide assortment of exciting pirate goodness, but some players are having trouble completing it, with Epic Games tackling the issue head-on in a new update.
Fortnite’s new Cursed Sails passcomes in both a free and premium version, with players tasked with embarking on various Pirate Code quests to complete the pass. Players who collect eight different map pieces will receive Jack’s Ship as a glider. However, some players are facing issues with the “Defeat a Dueling character with a pistol or melee weapon” quest. As a result, Epic Games has deployed a fix, swapping this quest with a new one. This new quest simply asks players to collect gifts from characters.
