Fortnite treasure hour: what actually changes
During a Treasure Hour, Epic raises the odds on three chest rewards. Everything else in the chest stays at its normal rate.
- Pirate Shop Access: 1 in 137,500 → 1 in 91,667 (1.5×)
- Weekly Gold Outfit: 1 in 1,562,500 → 1 in 208,333 (7.5×)
- Weekly Vehicle & Decal: 1 in 7,813 → 1 in 781 (10×)
Outside those windows the odds don't move. Epic's own wording is that rates stay constant all day once the event starts and only change during Treasure Hours — so there's no secret off-peak bonus to chase.
Fortnite boosted hours: the regular 1.5× vs the one-time 2×
The regular boost is 1.5×. On the evening of November 7 only, players saw a 2× boost: Pirate Shop Access at 1 in 68,750 and the Weekly Gold Outfit at 10× (1 in 156,250). Epic hasn't promised that again, so plan around 1.5× and treat anything bigger as a bonus. The Pirate Token Simulator uses 1.5× by default and keeps 2× as a historical toggle.
Power hour today: reading the countdown
The countdown at the top reads the live schedule, not a hard-coded date. When Epic has confirmed the next session it says Next Treasure Hour. When a session is only predicted from the every-Saturday pattern it says Expected and flags it as not announced — that's the state November 21 is in right now. While a session is running, the card switches to live now and counts down to the end instead. If today isn't a Saturday, the line above the weekly table tells you so and points to the next session.
Each session lasts two hours, and there are two per Saturday, so a full day of boosted chests is four hours.
How to spend a two-hour session
- Land where chests are dense. Rubber Resort (47), Lantern Landing (45) and Loguetown (41) top the Fortnite chest map. From November 15, Miku and Kasane Teto's crew holds Rubber Resort.
- Bring a Fortune Sprite. It detects nearby chests, which is the most direct way to open more of them per minute.
- Loop back to cleared spots. Chests refresh over time.
- Keep expectations honest. Playing both sessions start to finish is roughly 120–180 chests (at a community-estimated 10–15 per match), which at 1.5× is about a 0.13–0.2% shot at Pirate Shop Access. The boost improves each roll; it doesn't make the token likely.
- Count as you go with the Fortnite Chest Tracker, then plug the total into the simulator.
Past and upcoming Saturdays
- Sat, Nov 7 — Fortune theme. Both sessions ran (2–4 PM ET and 9–11 PM ET). This was also the one evening with a 2× boost.
- Sat, Nov 14 — Cursed theme. Both sessions ran. Everyone spawned with a Lil' SMG and an auto-revive device, and Cursed Sprites spawned more often.
- Sat, Nov 21 and Sat, Nov 28 — expected, not announced. They fit the weekly pattern, but Epic hasn't published them. Check in-game before you plan around them.
- Sat, Dec 5 — Chapter 7 end event. Treasure Hunters ends that day. Whether Treasure Hours run that night is unknown.
We only list dates up to December 5, 2026, when the event closes.
