Fortnite Pirate Shop Access odds

Epic Games has finally put a number on Fortnite's rarest Treasure Hunt reward, and your chance of pulling Pirate Shop Access out of a chest is just 1 in 137,500.

The odds were shared by the official Fortnite Status account on X over the weekend, as reported by VGC, Vice and Gfinity, and they cover every Treasure Hunt reward you can find in Battle Royale and Zero Build chests during the Treasure Hunters mini-season.

Pirate Shop Access is the one everyone's after, because VGC reports that whoever finds it gets two tokens, one to use between November 1 and December 15 and another for any time in 2027, and activating a token makes every V-Bucks item in the Item Shop free for 14 days.

Yo ho ho and a very long grind

Treasure Hours are where the odds get a little kinder, as they run on Saturdays from 7pm to 9pm UK time and again from 2am to 4am on Sunday morning, and Epic boosts the Pirate Shop Access chance by 1.5x during them, which works out at roughly 1 in 91,667.

VGC says the boost has sometimes been higher, with Pirate Shop Access doubled during one of last Saturday's Treasure Hours, while Vice reports that the remaining Saturdays on November 14, 21 and 28 are set for the standard 1.5x boost in both windows.

Epic has also previously said the odds don't change from player to player, according to VGC, so there's no secret bonus for new or returning accounts, and opening as many chests as you can really is the only way to tilt things in your favour.

When we covered Saturday's Fortune Treasure Hours, Epic hadn't said whether the token was part of the boost, so it's good to finally have the numbers in black and white, even if they're not especially friendly ones.

The Treasure Hunters season runs until December 5, so there are still a few weeks of chest-cracking left, and well, nobody ever said finding buried treasure would be easy.
