At 1 in 137,500, the chance of finding a token depends on how many chests you open. Using standard probability: 1,000 chests: about 0.7% 10,000 chests: about 7% 137,500 chests: about 63% Even a dedicated player who opens thousands of chests is unlikely to find one.
They reveal nearby chests, which means more openings per match. Epic Games has recently revealed the official drop rates of the different treasures appearing in chests, including the Pirate Token. Apart from Gizmos, you can’t get the same treasure twice, so a token you’ve already found won’t drop again.
Epic Games has finally published the official odds for the Pirate Shop, ending around a week of guesswork about how rare the Pirate Shop Access token really is. The numbers are steep, but they’re better than some of the rumors going around. If you are interested in knowing the exact odds of obtaining the Fortnite Pirate Token, you are at the right place. Here’s the full breakdown and what you can realistically do about it. The odds appear to apply per chest opened, which matches how Epic describes the treasure. The official figure is roughly five times better. It’s still rare, but it’s far from impossible. Epic’s statement also adds that rates stay constant from season launch and don’t change through the day, except during Treasure Hours. That rules out any time-of-day tricks. You can’t change the odds themselves, but you can increase how many chests you open and when: Play during Treasure Hours. They’re the only time the token gets a boost, and they run on Saturdays. Use Fortune Sprites.
