Fortnite Treasure - Treasure Hunters Event Guide
Fortnite's Chapter 7 mini-season is a pirate-themed "Treasure Hunters" run built around treasure chests, the ultra-rare Pirate Shop Access Token, weekly Gold Outfits and Saturday Treasure Hours with boosted odds. Runs until December 5, 2026.
Every Saturday during the season, two two-hour "Treasure Hour" sessions massively boost treasure drop odds - the Pirate Token goes from about 1 in 137,500 to as low as 1 in 68,750. Remaining dates: Nov 21, Nov 28 and Dec 5.
What "Fortnite treasure" actually is
The Treasure Hunters mini-season hides randomized loot inside treasure chests around the island. Some prizes are cosmetic store items you keep permanently - the rarest of all is the Pirate Shop Access Token, which unlocks 14 days of free Item Shop cosmetics for whoever finds it.
Weekly rotating jackpots include a featured Gold Outfit, a vehicle plus decal set, a pickaxe or back bling, a jam track and a loading screen. Gizmo collectibles drop far more often than the big prizes.

Treasure Hour schedule
Two sessions every Saturday, each lasting two hours.
| Session | US East (ET) | UTC |
|---|---|---|
| Session 1 | 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM | 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM |
| Session 2 | 9:00 PM - 11:00 PM | 2:00 AM - 4:00 AM (Sun) |
- Remaining dates: Nov 21, Nov 28 and Dec 5, 2026.
- Each week has a theme - Nov 14 was "Cursed" Treasure Hours with boosted Cursed Sprites, and every player drops in with the weekly Captain's weapon plus a Self-Revive Device.
- Epic announces the exact theme and boosted items on the official Fortnite X account a day or two ahead.
How to hunt treasure
- Drop during a Treasure Hour - odds are only boosted inside the two-hour windows.
- Open every treasure chest you see - the Pirate Token only rolls from treasure chest loot, not regular floor loot.
- Use the weekly bonus - you spawn with the featured Captain's weapon and a Self-Revive Device, so play aggressive early.
- Watch for themed modifiers - Cursed week made Cursed Sprites common; carrying one raised the odds of rarer Sprite finds but punished you in water.
