The Pirate Shop has been the topic of many debates and discussions in Fortnite Treasure Hunters ever since its introduction. We got a wonderful feature on the first of November when we could start redeeming all the premium shop rewards for absolutely free of cost.
However, players quickly noticed that the drop rate was extremely. Thankfully, we have official numbers from Epic Games ahead of the second week of the season.
Fortnite Treasure Hunters Pirate Shop odds explained
Earlier on Nov. 7, Epic officially revealed the odds for receiving the chest. They drop like regular rewards from all types of Treasure chests, but the base odd is really low. If you open a regular chest in a normal match, here is the exact odd for you to receive the access token.
- 1:137,500
In simple words, you’re expected to find it once (you need to find it just once) from 137,500 regular chests. However, probability works in a funnier way, so it could take you lot more (or lot less) chests to find the access token.
While the odds mentioned above is for normal games, the numbers become more favorable during Treasure Hours. These were the odds of getting the shop access token from Saturday’s Treasure Hours.
- 1.5x of the normal rate (1:137,500)
However, Epic has also claimed that the odds might be boosted further. For example, the odds of finding the Pirate Shop Access token was 2.0x between 7pm CT/9pm ET and 9pm CT/11pm ET.
Hence, your best shot is to open as many chests as possible, and playing in squads, since that will statistically make your life three times easier. Alternatively, you can make most of the boosted chances during the Treasure Hours.
The Pirate Treasure Chests also feature other rewards along with the Pirate Shop Access token. Here are the odds of the remaining items.
- 1:1,562,500 – Weekly Gold Outfit
- 1:7,813 – Weekly Vehicle & Decal
- 1:568 – Weekly Pickaxe or Backbling
- 1:391 – Weekly Jam Track
- 1:272 – Weekly Loading Screen
- 1:127 – Gizmo (any)
The odds for the other rewards also increase during Treasure Hours. If you missed it out on the first Saturday, the next opportunity is scheduled on Saturday, Nov. 14.
