Overview
- The Treasure Hunters mini‑season introduced the Pirate Shop Access token on Nov. 1, giving finders two 14‑day windows to claim most Item Shop cosmetics for free.
- Epic disclosed a normal per‑chest drop rate of 1 in 137,500 and announced weekly Saturday Treasure Hour boosts that raise the odds for limited windows.
- Streamers and players had spent tens of hours opening thousands of chests and publicly demanded transparency, which pushed Epic to state exact rates.
- Third‑party listings and mod tools surfaced with some accounts reportedly listed for large sums, and Epic has warned those offers are scams and that buying, selling or automating accounts can trigger permanent bans.
- Unverified leaker claims about a server backend called 'Clover' that could alter or hide odds remain unresolved and could prolong calls for consumer protection review and enforcement.
