Fortnite BUFFED The Pirate Shop Token Access!

Summary

Fortnite’s first seasonal update introduced Lil Uzi Vert as a boss, along with his exotic SMG and new weekly rewards. The video focuses mainly on the newly revealed odds for the Pirate Shop access token and how Treasure Hours can improve players’ chances of finding it.

Pirate Shop token odds and Treasure Hours

Fortnite’s published base drop rates include:

• Pirate Shop access: 1 in 137,500 chests
• Weekly gold outfit: 1 in 1.562 million
• Weekly vehicle: 1 in 7,800
• Pickaxe or back bling: 1 in 568
• Jam Track: 1 in 391
• Loading screen: 1 in 272
• Gizmos: 1 in 127

Treasure Hours boost reward odds. The first Treasure Hour reportedly gave Pirate Shop access a 50% boost, while the second doubled its chances. Other rewards were boosted too; the weekly gold outfit received a 10× boost, though its odds remained extremely low.

SypherPK recommends planning to play during both parts of Treasure Hours. He says the next one is scheduled for the following Saturday.

Current weekly rewards include the Solid Gold Lil Uzi Vert outfit, a gold Cadillac CT5, a Lil Uzi crew back bling, a music track, and a loading screen. The Pirate Shop token remains in the reward pool.

Chest-opening tip

Opening a closed chest manually or breaking it open can each give a reward roll. However, breaking a chest—or its supporting structure—after it has already been opened does not give another roll. Don’t waste time breaking open chests you find already open.

New gameplay additions

• Lil Uzi appears as a boss at Little Uzi Stronghold and drops an exotic SMG.
• Gameplay footage shows the SMG dealing substantial structure damage and pressuring opponents through builds.
• For 24 hours, the Lil Uzi sprite variant has an increased appearance rate.
• A new Cursed Sprite also raises the chance of rare sprites, but using it causes water to damage the player.
• Sundays are described as Captain Days, bringing changes to the weekly loot pool and other updates.

Community and player-count news

Typical Gamer had reportedly played for more than 80 hours and opened over 60,000 chests while hunting for the token. In a particularly unlucky moment, he left a match and his squad found the token later in that same game.

Fortnite reported more than 8.3 million live players during Treasure Hours, including 5.4 million in Battle Royale.

SypherPK speculates that Fortnite may increase token odds and add events as the season progresses, but presents this as his theory rather than confirmed plans.
