Fortnite’s Treasure Hunters mini-season is currently underway, and a plethora of new content has been added to the season for players to enjoy. One such addition includes the Pirate Treasure Chests, which have been scattered throughout the Battle Royale map for players to find and open.
Opening these chests provides a huge variety of rewards, including free cosmetics, vehicles, gizmos, and the extremely lucrative Pirate Shop Access Token, which is an ultra-rare item that allows players to claim eligible Fortnite Item Shop cosmetics completely for free.
This article provides information on the details of the Pirate Shop Access Token, including how to obtain and use this rare reward.
Fortnite Pirate Shop Access Token Explained
The Pirate Shop Access Token is a special item that can be obtained by opening chests on the island during the Treasure Hunters mini-season. Getting this token lets players claim a variety of cosmetics in the daily Fortnite Item Shop (outfits, pickaxes, emotes, collab skins, etc.) for free.
Any and all cosmetics that you claim via the Pirate Shop Access Token are permanently added to your account, and will remain even after the current season is over.
How to get the Fortnite Pirate Shop Access Token?
Since the Fortnite Pirate Shop Access Token is a random drop from Treasure Chests on the island, obtaining it ultimately comes down to a combination of simply playing the game as much as you can, and having good luck.
Here are a couple ways to maximize your chances of getting the Fortnite Pirate Shop Access Token:
- Open as many Treasure Chests as you can: The more you play and open Treasure Chests scattered throughout the map, the higher your chances of obtaining the token.
- Play in Squads: Since all chest rewards can be shared between party members, if any member of your squad opens a chest containing a Pirate Shop Access Token, every player in the squad gets the reward.
- Land at optimal spots: Certain POIs in the map (such as Lantern Landing, Arlong Park, and Loguetown) have a high concentration of chests, making them good choices for landing and immediately beginning your search.
How to use the Fortnite Pirate Shop Access Token?
Each Fortnite Pirate Shop Access Token can be used for a total of 14 days, once activated. Here’s how you can activate and use it:
- Return to the main lobby and navigate to the Item Shop.
- Click on the “Plunder the Item Shop” button at the bottom-right corner.
- Select “Activate Now” from the confirmation pop-up to begin your 14-day timer.
- Browse the Item Shop each day and claim any eligible cosmetics marked FREE before the active window expires.
