Fortnite Treasure Hours Live Now, November 14: Everything You Need To Know

Fortnite Treasure Hours Are Live Now, With Increased Pirate Shop Token Odds Epic Games Published Nov 14, 2026, 2:00 PM EST James Lucas is the Lead Photo Editor at TheGamer and has worked in professional journalism since 2018.

You can reach them at James.t@thegamer.com Fortnite's second Treasure Hours weekend is now live, running from 2–4pm ET (7–9pm GMT), and we know a little more about how it works this time around. After last week's event and mounting backlash, Epic Games finally confirmed the odds of finding a Pirate Shop token. You've probably spent the entire season scouring for one, but for the uninitiated, these are super rare drops that, when activated, make the entire Item Shop free for two weeks. Typically, you have a 1 in 137,500 chance of finding a token, but during Treasure Hours, drop rates are boosted by a minimum of 1.5x (equal to a 1 in 91,667 chance). However, last Saturday, the second Treasure Hours window saw a 2x boost — so perhaps we'll see something similar today. The Weekly Gold Outfit drop rate, meanwhile, is boosted by 7.5x during Treasure Hours, while the Weekly Vehicle & Decal drop rate is boosted 10x. What's Different During Treasure Hours? During tonight's Treasure Hours, everyone will start with Lil Uzi Vert's SMG, which should be a little less chaotic than the A$AP Rocky RPG-fest. Like last week, everyone will also drop with a self-revive, so you'll need to kill downed players if you don't want them surprising you in the middle of another gunfight. If you miss the first Treasure Hours tonight, there's another at 9–11pm ET (2–4am GMT). 2am Grinding: European And Asian Players Aren't Happy With Treasure Hours Even with a 1.5x-2x boost, the odds of finding a Pirate Shop token are incredibly slim, but it's still the best time to grind chests. So, European and Asian players are understandably frustrated that sessions are beginning past midnight and stretching well into the morning, leaving a huge chunk of the playerbase out by focusing almost exclusively on American audiences. "Does Epic Games realize that a huge portion of its Asian player base is being disadvantaged by the timing of Treasure Hours?" u/Early-Daikon3193 posted to the game's subreddit. "For players in Asia, especially countries like India, these events happen around midnight. That means if we want to participate, we either have to sacrifice our sleep or simply miss out. Not everyone can stay awake until midnight just to participate in a Fortnite event." Likewise, across X, commenters voice their annoyance that "the average person in Europe won't even be able to play the game since the Treasure Hours are at 2-4am," calling for either region-specific time slots, or a Treasure Day instead, with account-based hour caps for boosted odds. These frustrations have only intensified after it was revealed that the later Treasure Hours session had even better odds, with a 2x increase to drop rates versus the earlier 1.5x, meaning that Americans not only got a second window, but a higher chance of finding the tokens.
