Epic Games has officially revealed the drop rates for the elusive Pirate Shop Token in Fortnite, disclosing that players face a daunting chance of 1 in 137,500 to find it during matches. This announcement follows a period of community frustration regarding the token’s rarity.

In a post on November 8, 2026, Fortnite Status shared details about the token, noting that its odds make it one of the rarest items, although the Weekly Gold Outfit’s chances are even lower at 1 in 1,562,500. Epic explained, “The new treasure this season is found in chests just like other items.”

During specific times called Treasure Hours, the chances of finding the Pirate Shop Token improve significantly. For instance, the second Treasure Hour on November 7 increased the drop rate to 1 in 68,750. Earlier that day, the first session offered slightly less favorable odds.

Players can increase their chances by equipping a chest-revealing Sprite and targeting various types of chests within the game. Both Battle Royale and Zero Build modes feature chests that can yield Treasure Hunt prizes. Epic advises planning routes to avoid competition and maximize loot opportunities.

Drop rates for each item in Treasure Hunt Chests remain fixed but can receive temporary boosts. During Treasure Hours, the token drop rate can see enhancements, making it worthwhile for players to engage during these periods.

Beyond just finding the Pirate Shop Token, players are incentivized to collaborate in Squads, as tokens found by any squad member count for everyone on the team. However, the effectiveness of some strategies is unverified, and no specific guaranteed methods exist for securing the token.

Using Fortune Sprites can also aid in locating nearby chests, enhancing overall efficiency during treasure hunts. While the hunt for the Pirate Shop Token continues, players remain on high alert for opportunities to claim this valuable item.
