Pirate Token Odds: Is It 1 in 700,000 or 1 in 2,000?
What are the Pirate Token odds?
Nobody outside Epic knows. Epic has never published the Pirate Token drop rate, so nobody can give you the real Fortnite token odds. Two Pirate Token estimates circulate, and they are about 350× apart: roughly 1 in 700,000 per chest, the figure most guides repeat, and roughly 1 in 2,000 per chest, a dataminer's estimate reported by VICE. Every chest is its own Pirate Token roll, and a find for one squad member counts for the whole party. Players also search for it as the Fortnite token or Fortnite shop token, and the game calls it Pirate Shop Access, so Pirate Token odds, Fortnite token odds and Pirate Shop Access odds all mean the same roll.

What are the two Fortnite token drop rate estimates?
The smaller number is the one you'll see everywhere. Insider Gaming put it this way:
"Estimates suggest you have a 1 in 700,000 chance"
Epic itself has only said that every player has the same Pirate Token chance, not what that chance is.
| Estimate | How solid | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| 1 in 700,000 per chest | Community figure | Quoted by Insider Gaming ("Estimates suggest you have a 1 in 700,000 chance") and Beebom as the Pirate Token drop rate. Nobody has shown how it was worked out. |
| 1 in 2,000 per chest | Dataminer estimate | Dataminer Blortzen's Pirate Token estimate, reported by VICE, built from three steps (below). It assumes you have neither Supreme reward yet. |
| Official Fortnite token rate | Unknown | Not published. Destructoid says there is "no way of knowing" the exact Fortnite token odds, and dataminer HYPEX says they aren't in the game files. |
How the 1 in 2,000 Pirate Token estimate is worked out
- About 1 in 100 chests gives a Treasure Hunt reward at all.
- About 5–10% of those rewards are Supreme tier; Blortzen leans toward 10%, so roughly 1 in 1,000 chests gives some Supreme reward.
- There are two Supreme rewards, the Pirate Token and Gold A$AP Rocky. If they are equally likely, that is about 1 in 2,000 chests for the Pirate Token.
Each step is an estimate, and VICE notes the Pirate Token figure assumes you have neither Supreme reward yet. Epic hasn't confirmed any rate; it has said every player has an equal chance at the Fortnite token (Pirate Shop Access).
What are your Fortnite token odds by play style?
The gap between the two Fortnite token estimates matters more than any farming spot. Each cell shows your chance at 1 in 700,000 / at 1 in 2,000, counting every teammate's chests for duos and squads, because one find unlocks the Pirate Token for the whole party:
| Play style | 1 day | 7 days | 30 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solo, casual (4 chests × 5 matches a day) | <0.01% / 0.995% | 0.02% / 6.76% | 0.086% / 25.9% |
| Solo, regular (8 chests × 10 matches) | 0.011% / 3.92% | 0.08% / 24.4% | 0.342% / 69.9% |
| Duo, regular (8 chests × 10 matches each) | 0.023% / 7.69% | 0.16% / 42.9% | 0.683% / 90.9% |
| Squad of 4, regular (8 chests × 10 matches each) | 0.046% / 14.8% | 0.319% / 67.4% | 1.36% / 99.2% |
| Squad of 4, farming (25 chests × 15 matches each) | 0.214% / 52.8% | 1.49% / 99.5% | 6.23% / >99.99% |
What the table shows: at the community estimate, even a farming squad's 30-day Pirate Token chance stays in single digits (6.23%), while at the dataminer estimate a regular squad is all but certain to find the Pirate Token within a month. Which estimate is right decides whether the Pirate Token hunt is a lottery or a grind.
For an even chance at the Fortnite token you'd need about 485,000 chests at 1 in 700,000, or about 1,400 chests at 1 in 2,000. Squads count every teammate's chests because guides report one find unlocks the Pirate Token for the whole party.

What do real Pirate Token finds tell us?
Fortnite token finds are common enough that r/FortniteBR moderators started limiting "found it" posts, and they come at very different points in a Fortnite token grind: one player's teammate found the Pirate Token 759 chests in, while one squad posted that they needed more than 4,000 chests each. Scattered results like these are what any random drop looks like, so they can't pin down the real Fortnite token drop rate. They also don't point to a Pirate Token pity system: no guide, Epic post or dataminer mentions one.
What changes your Pirate Token odds, and what doesn't?
- More chests that count is the only lever for your Fortnite token odds. Playing in a squad multiplies them.
- Mode: Battle Royale and Zero Build have produced Fortnite token finds; sources disagree on Ranked, and bot lobbies look unlikely to drop the Pirate Token. See which modes can drop the Pirate Token.
- Treasure Hours and power hours: Epic hasn't said they touch the Pirate Token. See when the Pirate Token power hour is.
- New accounts, Sprites, compasses, "detectors": no evidence any of them help your Fortnite token odds. See Pirate Token rumors, fact-checked.
Pirate Token and Fortnite token odds questions
What are the odds of getting the Pirate Token in Fortnite?
Epic hasn't published the Fortnite token odds. The two estimates in circulation are about 1 in 700,000 per chest and about 1 in 2,000 per chest.
Is 1 in 700,000 the real Pirate Token drop rate?
Not officially. It's a community figure that guides repeat, and HYPEX says the Fortnite token odds aren't in the game files.
Do your Pirate Token odds go up the more chests you open?
No. Each chest is a fresh roll with the same Pirate Token chance. More chests just means more rolls at the Fortnite token.
Do I have to win the match for the Pirate Token to count?
No. The Pirate Token goes to your account when the chest rolls it. Details in do you have to win to get the Pirate Token.
What are the Fortnite token odds?
The Fortnite token is the same item as the Pirate Token, so the Fortnite token odds are the Pirate Token odds: about 1 in 700,000 or about 1 in 2,000 per chest, depending on which estimate you trust. Neither is official.
Are the Fortnite shop token odds different from the Pirate Shop Token odds?
No. Fortnite shop token, Pirate Shop Token, Pirate Token and Pirate Shop Access are names for one item with one drop rate.
How rare is the Fortnite token?
Very rare. At 1 in 700,000 per chest the Fortnite token's rarity is lottery-like; at 1 in 2,000 a squad that loots hard has a real shot within a few days. The Pirate Token drop chance is the same in every mode that has Treasure Hunters chests.
What is the probability of getting the Fortnite token in a squad?
Multiply chests by teammates. Four players opening 8 chests each over 10 games is 320 chests that count: about 0.05% at 1 in 700,000 and about 15% at 1 in 2,000. The Pirate Token calculator does this math for any squad.
