Fortnite players are demanding that Epic Games disclose the exact drop rate for the "Pirate Store Access" reward. This reward was added to the game with the "Treasure Hunter" mini-season, which began on November 1, but Epic has yet to reveal its precise probability of appearing in standard Battle Royale chests.
Once players obtain this reward, they can activate it twice. Each activation opens a 14-day window during which they can claim Item Shop cosmetics within eligible parameters without spending V-Bucks. Cash shop items, gifts, and Battle Pass rewards are excluded.
Epic has only stated that this reward is obtained through mechanisms similar to regular chests, giving all players an equal chance. However, this statement does not clarify the actual probability, nor does it confirm the community rumor of "approximately one in 700,000." Streamer Jynxzi reportedly searched for over 75 hours, and Stable Ronaldo claimed to have spent more than 70 hours; both have demanded that Epic disclose the drop rate.
Additionally, leakers claim that Epic dynamically adjusts reward probabilities through a server-side system called "Clover," meaning there are no fixed values in client data. However, this claim has not been independently confirmed by Epic. The officially announced "Treasure Hours" increase the drop rates for certain items, but it remains unclear whether this reward is included. Current information is also insufficient to conclude that the undisclosed probability constitutes illegal gambling or violates regulatory requirements.
