Fortnite Shop Token — Get a Shop Token
To get a Fortnite Pirate Shop Token, play Battle Royale during the Treasure Hunters mini-season and open Treasure Hunt Chests inside buildings at named POIs on the Crossbones Isle map. The token is a random, extremely rare drop, so there is no guaranteed chest or location — it comes down to luck. If any squad member opens a winning chest, the whole party receives the token.

Watch for the large "YOU FOUND PIRATE SHOP ACCESS" banner at the top of the screen — that confirms the token dropped.[search-b8b20dca16f4]

Common Mistakes
- Don't expect to gift or transfer the token or the free items — Pirate Shop Access is non-transferable and free items are only for you. [search-649196319dc6][search-b8b20dca16f4]
- Don't assume everything is claimable — real-money packs are excluded, and you can only claim one copy of each eligible Sidekick. [search-95b80abe44f7]

Fortnite FAQ
How rare is the Fortnite Pirate Shop Token?
It is extremely rare.
