Pirate Shop Access is the treasure everyone is hunting for in Fortnite, and this Saturday, November 14, it gets a little easier to find. Treasure Hours are back, two sessions of two hours each that raise the odds of finding Pirate Shop Access, the weekly Gold Outfit and the weekly vehicle. And this time they come with extras: every player will start with Lil Uzi Vert’s Lil’ SMG, get a free Self-Revive and see more Cursed Sprites around the map.
Here are the times in your region, how much the odds go up and what Pirate Shop Access gives you if you’re lucky enough to find it.
What Is Pirate Shop Access in Fortnite?
It’s the most sought-after treasure of the season. Whoever finds it can claim Item Shop items that cost V-Bucks for free for 14 days, and everything they get stays in their locker forever. It doesn’t cover battle passes or bundles bought with real money, though.
It drops from chests like any other item, but the odds are very low: 1 in 137,500 in a regular match. That’s why Treasure Hours are the best time to look for it.
Treasure Hours Times to Get Pirate Shop Access
The first session runs from 2 to 4 p.m. and the second from 9 to 11 p.m. Eastern Time. Here’s when that is where you live:
| Time zone | First session | Second session |
|---|---|---|
| US Eastern (ET) | 2:00 to 4:00 PM | 9:00 to 11:00 PM |
| US Central (CT) | 1:00 to 3:00 PM | 8:00 to 10:00 PM |
| US Mountain (MT) | 12:00 to 2:00 PM | 7:00 to 9:00 PM |
| US Pacific (PT) | 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM | 6:00 to 8:00 PM |
| United Kingdom (GMT) | 7:00 to 9:00 PM | 2:00 to 4:00 AM (Sunday) |
| Central Europe (CET) | 8:00 to 10:00 PM | 3:00 to 5:00 AM (Sunday) |
If you play from the UK or Europe, the second session falls in the early hours of Sunday, so the first one is your best bet.
How Much the Fortnite Pirate Shop Access Odds Go Up
During both sessions, these treasures will be easier to find in chests. They’re the same base multipliers as the season’s first Treasure Hour:
- Pirate Shop Access: 1.5x more likely (from 1 in 137,500 to 1 in 91,667).
- Weekly Gold Outfit: 7.5x more likely (from 1 in 1,562,500 to 1 in 208,333).
- Weekly Vehicle and Decal: 10x more likely (from 1 in 7,813 to 1 in 781).
Keep in mind that these are the base values. During the session on the night of November 7, Epic raised Pirate Shop Access to 2x and the Gold Outfit to 10x, so it could do something similar again this time.

What Changes in Matches During Treasure Hours
This time it’s not all about chests. While the sessions last, every player will start with Lil Uzi Vert’s Lil’ SMG, the submachine gun from the rapper’s collab, and will have a free Self-Revive each match, which comes in handy so a bad fight doesn’t end a good streak of chests.
Cursed Sprites will also spawn more often. Fortnite teased it with a clear wink, “Boosted Cursed Sprites will enter the chat tomorrow,” so keep an eye out for them during your matches.
