Epic Games reveals Fortnite Treasure Hunters drop rates after FTC backlash
Epic published exact odds for Treasure Hunters items, including 1:137,500 for Pirate Shop Access, after fans urged the FTC to act.
Epic Games published the exact drop rates for Fortnite Treasure Hunters items on November 6, 2026, disclosing the odds behind the Pirate Token and other rewards. The studio posted the figures on the Fortnite Service X/Twitter account, as reported by IGN.
According to the published rates, Pirate Shop Access drops at 1:137,500 in a normal match, while the Weekly Gold Outfit sits at 1:1,562,500. The more common weekly items range from 1:7,813 for a Vehicle & Decal to 1:272 for a Loading Screen, with Gizmo (any) at 1:127.
Epic also detailed how Treasure Hours affect those odds. During the event window, Pirate Shop Access is boosted 1.5x, the Weekly Gold Outfit 7.5x and the Weekly Vehicle & Decal 10x. The studio said Treasure Hours rates may be higher in the future and pointed to a window that night that boosts rates for the Pirate Token and Weekly Gold Outfit.
