How do Fortnite Treasure Hours Work?

Fortnite’s Treasure Hours increase player chances of finding rare loot. They’re particularly effective for Pirate Tokens, Weekly Gold Outfits, and Weekly Vehicles as they boost their drop rates.

Each event has the following multipliers:

• Pirate Token Chances: 1.5x
• Weekly Gold Outfit Chances: 7.5x
• Weekly Vehicle Chances: 10x

Fortnite notes that “These rates may be higher in future Treasure Hours. If so, we’ll let you know.” For example, on the November 7th Treasure Hour, Pirate Token chances increased by 2x.

When are the Fortnite Treasure Hours?

According to Epic Games, Fortnite Treasure Hours usually occur on Saturdays from 2-4pm ET and 9-11pm ET.

How to Find the Pirate Token in Fortnite

To find the Pirate Token, Fortnite players have to enter Battle Royale matches and search for a Treasure-Hunt Chest. The token is incredibly rare, and if one person in a squad or lobby finds it, it also applies to everyone else.

• Log on to Fortnite.
• Play with a squad or large lobby.
• Queue into Battle Royale.
• Play during Treasure Hours. This increases your chances of finding a Pirate Token by raising drop rates.
• Look for chests in-game. The Treasure-Hunt Chest will be bright gold with a skull on it.
• Open the chest. You have a 1 in 137,000 chance of unlocking the Pirate Shop.

Happy hunting!
