Fortnite Officially Reveals the Odds of Getting a Pirate Shop Access Token

Since Fortnite’s Treasure Hunters event launched on Nov. 1, players have pressed Epic Games to disclose the chances of finding each chest reward—especially the highly sought-after Pirate Shop Access token. Epic has now shared the drop rates and explained how Treasure Hours affect them.

New this season, the Pirate Shop Access token lets its holder claim eligible Item Shop items that cost in-game currency for free for two weeks. The token can be activated twice: once in 2026 and once in 2027. Its arrival has sparked intense competition, with some players even selling accounts or charging for token-hunting services, despite those practices violating Epic’s terms of service.

The hunt has also drawn attention away from the season’s One Piece theme. After opening thousands of chests without finding a token, players demanded that Epic publish the odds. On Saturday, before Treasure Hours began, fans amplified the hashtag #ReleaseTheOdds. Epic eventually responded.

Fortnite Pirate Shop Access token drop rates revealed

Epic says the Pirate Shop Access token appears in approximately one out of every 137,500 chests. Its drop rate has remained unchanged since the season began, except during Treasure Hours. The token’s odds were increased by 1.5 times during the first Treasure Hour and doubled during the second.

The weekly rotating golden skin is even rarer, with a chance of roughly one in 1,562,500 chests. Still, the token may be the more coveted reward, since the items it unlocks could be worth thousands of dollars.

Epic’s disclosure answers players’ questions about the drop rates, but another mystery remains. Solid Gold A$AP Rocky has left the weekly treasure lineup and been replaced by Solid Gold Lil Uzi Vert. Both outfits can be found for free during Treasure Hunters, but Epic has not said whether they will be sold later. If they never return to the shop, they could become some of the rarest cosmetics in Fortnite.

Nov. 14 is the final Treasure Hours event before Grand Theft Auto 6 launches, making it a prime opportunity for players still chasing the token. The season ends on Dec. 5, so further chances to search arrive on Nov. 21 and Nov. 28—for anyone willing to step away from GTA 6 for a while.
