How rare is the Pirate Token?
Very rare. Each chest in a regular Battle Royale match has a 1 in 137,500 chance (about 0.00073%) of dropping it, the rate Epic Games published on November 7, 2026.[1] A player opening 20 chests a match would need roughly 4,800 matches for a 50% chance. Most players will finish the mini-season without one, and that is the expected outcome, not bad luck.
How the maths works
Every chest is an independent roll. If the chance per chest is p, the chance of at least one Pirate Token after n chests is 1 − (1 − p)n. With p = 1/137,500:
| Chests opened | Chance of at least one token | Chance of still having none |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | 0.07% | 99.93% |
| 2,000 | 1.4% | 98.6% |
| 10,000 | 7.0% | 93.0% |
| 50,000 | 30.5% | 69.5% |
| 95,307 | 50% | 50% |
| 137,500 | 63.2% | 36.8% |
| 316,604 | 90% | 10% |
Opening 137,500 chests does not guarantee a token. About 37% of players who open that many would still have nothing, and the next chest always has the same odds as the first.[2]

What the Pirate Token does
Redeeming a Pirate Token lets you claim every cosmetic that appears in the Item Shop for free for 14 days. Players who redeem their first token before the deadline also get a second one to use in 2027.[2] You get it by opening chests in Battle Royale during the Treasure Hunters mini-season; if anyone in your squad opens the winning chest, eligible squad members receive it too.[3]
Epic has said every account has the same chance and warned that buying accounts or using "token finder" tools is a scam.[4]
