FORTNITE PIRATE TOKEN – LET'S CLEAR SOME THINGS UP The following information has been relayed by @NotJulesDev, one of the most reputable bot developers, who i can personally back on how these systems operate. Since everyone seems to be spreading misinformation about the Pirate Token, let's go over how this actually works. How the drop chances work: The Pirate Token's loot table exists in the game files, but its drop weights are set to 0 on the client side. In simple terms, a loot table determines what items can drop and how likely they are to appear when opening a chest. While the loot table exists in the client, Epic stores the actual drop weight values in a separate server-side data table, which can be updated through server hotfixes. Clover service: Clover is used to distribute rewards and isn't exclusive to Treasure Chests. There are also references to it being used for things like tournament rewards. Claims that Clover is responsible for controlling the token's drop chances are incorrect. Its purpose is to distribute rewards, not determine their odds. Server hotfixes: Epic can update the drop chances through server hotfixes, but that doesn't mean they can freely enable or disable the token whenever they want. A hotfix cannot be applied in the middle of an ongoing match, nor can a server-side hotfix be individually applied to specific players. Sprite drops vs. Pirate Tokens: Both systems have server-side loot tables. The main difference is that Epic also hotfixes Sprite drop weights to the client, whereas they haven't done the same for Pirate Tokens. With that being said, claims that Pirate Tokens are secretly enabled at certain times during a match, or that specific players are being individually selected to receive them, don't align with how these systems operate. Will we ever know the actual drop rates? Probably not, unless Epic decides to publicly disclose them. #Fortnite

ADDING MORE FROM THE GAME FILES ON HOW TREASURE HUNT PRIZES ACTUALLY WORK Prize table is DT_DelilahTreasureHunt_Prizes (build 43.00). 16 prizes total Pirate Shop Access is the only one set to PreRollOnly. All other 15 are AttemptPreRoll This means the Pirate Shop token is the only prize determined exclusively before the chest opens. The other 15 can be considered during the pre-roll but aren’t restricted to that phase Other prizes - 10 cosmetics (Major/Supreme): 2 gold outfits, pickaxe, back bling, 2 jam tracks, 2 loading screens, 2 gold car decals. One-time only. They drop from Treasure Hunt chests and get added to your account through a quest reward. - 5 Sprite Gizmos (Standard): Lucky Locator, Relic Finder, smuggler’s key, etc. Can be won multiple times, go straight into match inventory. Roll behavior - Prize roll is requested the first time a player tries to open a Treasure Hunt chest (or if destroyed before opening). - Roll finishes first, then the chest opens and drops normal loot. - Gold chest animation is skipped for Standard tier prizes. - No per-match limit in the files (PerMatchMaxAmount: -1). Server pools - Prizes come from pools with start/end times + StartingInventory / RemainingInventory. - Each week has separate RegularPrizes and PowerHourPrizes lists. #Fortnite | Thank you @dballen21
