How do Treasure Chest drop rates work in Fortnite?
Each time you open a chest in Fortnite Treasure Hunters, there’s a chance you may find one of the special Treasure Chest loot items. Whether or not you find one of these items is essentially RNG and comes down to random luck landing in your favor.
For example, when opening a chest, your odds of acquiring the Weekly Gold Outfit are the worst, with only a 1 in 1,562,500 chance (about 0.000064 percent) of finding this item. For Gizmos, on the other hand, the drop rates look a lot better, with a 1 in 127 (about 0.787 percent) chance of acquiring one while looting.
Technically, the more you loot, the more shots you have at finding these rare items. Opening more chests does not increase your odds or guarantee you will eventually find what you’re seeking, but the more you do try, the more chances you have of getting lucky.
Do Treasure Chest loot drop rates change in Fortnite?
All drop rates and odds for Treasure Chest loot items consistently stay the same throughout every day of the season. Nothing causes them to drop or get lower. The only changes you’ll ever see to these rates are special, helpful boosts to the odds that occur during Treasure Hour events.
All boosted loot odds and drop rates in Fortnite
During special Treasure Hour events, Treasure Chest loot has boosted drop rates, making all of these assets a bit easier to find. The base boosted odds of finding these items are:
- 1.5x for Pirate Shop Access
- 7.5x for Weekly Gold Outfit
- 10x for Weekly Vehicle and Decal
The base boosted drop rates apply to most standard events that increase these stats, but these odds may also sometimes vary a bit to be slightly better depending on the specific theme of the Treasure Hour event. To see exactly what the altered boosted rate of all items is during any of these events, you can either check the official Fortnite Status page on X (formerly Twitter) or view the game announcement while the event is live.
If you need a break from hunting for treasure, there are plenty of other tasks to keep you busy around the island. Next, you might consider working on getting the Sweet Dreams Sprite, contacting Slone on the Slone Phone in Plunder Port, and unlocking all Captain X rewards.
