Fortnite's Latest Reward Is So Valuable It’s Creating a Black Market
The new Pirate Shop token allows players to obtain any items from the in-game store for free for two weeks. Due to its rarity, players have started selling accounts for thousands of dollars.
In the new treasure-hunt-themed season of Fortnite, a collaboration with One Piece has been introduced. However, the main focus of interest has become the Pirate Shop token, which allows players to obtain any items from the store for free for 14 days. It can be activated until December 15, 2026, and reactivated until December 15, 2027.
The probability of the token dropping is unknown. According to data miners' estimates, it appears in roughly one out of 2000 chests. Players are using programs for automated searches, selling accounts with the reward for thousands of dollars, and offering services to obtain it. Epic Games warns that such actions violate the rules and may result in a ban.
From October 8, Treasure Hours will also take place on Sundays, with increased chances of obtaining treasures.
