Unlocking Jack’s Ship is essential if you’re seeking a Glider to match all of the characters included in this collaboration, but it takes a fair amount of effort to add this Glider to your collection. Luckily for gamers, you don’t have to travel all the way to Davy Jones’ locker to get it. But the quest is still pretty grand, so here’s how to get Jack’s Ship Glider in Fortnite.

To unlock the Jack’s Ship Glider in Fortnite, you need to collect eight map pieces by participating in eight different quest series. These quests unlock over time, which means you can’t actually unlock Jack’s Ship until Aug. 2 when the last set of quests drops.

Here are the exact dates and times at which every part of the Pirates of the Caribbean Cursed Sails event quests will be released.

  • The Pirate Code One quests were released on July 19 at 8am CT.
  • The Pirate Code Two quests will be released on July 21 at 8am CT.
  • The Pirate Code Three quests will be released on July 23 at 8am CT.
  • The Pirate Code Four quests will be released on July 25 at 8am CT.
  • The Pirate Code Five quests will be released on July 27 at 8am CT.
  • The Pirate Code Six quests will be released on July 29 at 8am CT.
  • The Pirate Code Seven quests will be released on July 31 at 8am CT.
  • The Pirate Code Eight quests will be released on Aug. 2 at 8am CT.

In each Pirate Code quest series, you must complete a minimum of four quests to unlock the associated map piece. Since this Glider is tied to the main event, you’ll also earn many additional Pirates of the Caribbean Cursed Sails event pass rewards along the way.

You can work on earning this epic Glider until the Pirates of the Caribbean Cursed Sails event ends. There are only a few days between when the last set of Pirate Code quests will be released and when the event concludes, so you have to be ready to get them done quickly if you’re hoping to unlock Jack’s Ship.

All of the Pirates of the Caribbean skins, rewards, and other such items aren’t necessarily exclusive to the event, but some of them could be as many past event items have never been seen again. Because of this, you should work to unlock any items you want while the event is live to ensure you’re able to get them.
