Start with these three steps
- 01
Enter Battle Royale during Treasure Hunters
Look for the seasonal Battle Royale experience. Epic announced Treasure Hunters for November 1, 2026, on Crossbones Isle.
One player who found it, @snowslept, described the match as
I WAS IN A SOLOS NORMAL MATCH
. - 02
Open chests while you loot
Fortnite Tracker lists Treasure, Buried, Sprite and Rare Chests as reward sources. GamesRadar also reports ordinary chests can award it, so you do not need to search only rare ones.
- 03
Check the reward and your Item Shop
Look for the Pirate Shop Access reward notice. The player posted their find and then showed the Item Shop afterward. Check your own reward and dates before activating.
Drop chance: no exact rate or guaranteed chest count has been confirmed in the sources reviewed. The token is a random reward. Compare the reported odds →
Where should you look for chests?
Open the regular, buried and Rare Chest maps →
Beebom’s November 3 location guide identifies these areas for chest searches. They are chest locations, not guaranteed token spawns.
| Where to start | What the location guide reports |
|---|---|
| Rubber Resort | Treasure Hunt Chests, plus buried and rare chests |
| Lantern Landing | Treasure Hunt Chests and rare chests |
| Loguetown | Treasure Hunt Chests and rare chests |
| The Chest | A concentration of buried chests |
Does everyone in the party get it?
Fortnite Tracker reports that when one player finds Pirate Shop Access, the other members of their party receive it too.
That is a shared discovery reward. It does not mean an obtained token can be transferred to a friend or used to gift cosmetics; the activation coverage describes those as excluded.
Ready to activate?
Open the Item Shop and look for “Plunder the Item Shop.” Reported access starts when you activate and lasts 14 days.
