Fortnite Officially Reveals Pirate Shop Access Token Odds

Since Fortnite Treasure Hunters began on Nov. 1, Epic Games has been flooded with disgruntled fans wanting to know the odds of treasures that can be found in chests this season, namely the Pirate Shop Access token. Epic has finally relented, revealing the odds for each item and how much Treasure Hours influence them.

This season, the Pirate Shop Access token was introduced in Fortnite. The token is an item that, upon activation, makes every item sold in the Item Shop with in-game currency free for two weeks. It can be used twice: once in 2026 and again in 2027. This item has created an unpredictable frenzy among the community. Even though it's against Epic Games' terms of service, players have been selling accounts and offering token-hunting services at hourly rates.

The Pirate Shop Access token led fans to focus on opening chests rather than enjoying the highly-anticipated One Piece-themed season. After opening thousands of chests with no luck, fans wanted to know their chances of finding it. On Saturday, before Treasure Hours began, they spammed the hashtag ReleaseTheOdds, demanding Epic Games share the odds of each treasure in Fortnite. It finally complied.

Fortnite Pirate Shop Access token odds officially revealed

According to Epic Games, the Pirate Shop Access token has a drop chance of 1 per 137,500 chests, which is the equivalent of 0.000007273%. Odds have not been tweaked throughout the season except for Treasure Hours timed-event — they were boosted 1.5x for the first Treasure Hour on Saturday, and 2x the second time around. The golden skin, which will rotate each week, is the rarest treasure players can find by far (1 per 1,562,500 chests), but it's safe to say that the token is still more desirable because it's worth the equivalent of thousands of dollars.

It's good that Epic Games was finally transparent with fans, but one question remains. The Solid Gold A$AP Rocky outfit has now rotated out of the weekly treasures available, replaced by Solid Gold Lil Uzi Vert. These skins are free to find during Treasure Hunters, but it is unknown whether either will be available for purchase in the future. If not, they would become the rarest cosmetics in Fortnite history.

Nov. 14 marks the last set of Treasure Hours before the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6, so if you're still grinding for the token, this is the best time to try to find it. The season ends on Dec. 5, so gamers can still search for it on Nov. 21 and 28 if they're willing to put GTA 6 aside for a couple of hours.
