Fortnite only shows your chest total in the Treasure Hunt quest, and it stops after 1,000. Tap +1 above for every chest to keep an exact count. At Epic's published rate of 1 in 137,500 per chest, 1,000 chests gives about a 0.72% chance at the Pirate Shop Token, and a 50/50 chance takes roughly 95,000 chests (or about 24,000 each in a full squad).

Treasure map fragments checklist
Treasure Hunters also hides map fragments around Crossbones Isle. Epic describes each as one piece of something bigger, and media guides report six of them. Tick them off as you find them (saved in this browser):

How to use this chest counter
- Tap +1 each time you open a chest. On a keyboard, press Space or +. Missed a few? Use +5 or +10 after the match. Mis-tap? Hit Undo (or U).
- Press "End match" when a match is over. This builds your average chests per match, so the counter can tell you how many matches a 50% chance would take at your pace.
- Choose who's counting. The token is shared with your party, so in a squad the odds use your count × party size (assuming teammates open about as many as you).
- Turn on the boost only during a boost window. Chests added while it's on are counted at the boosted rate; everything else stays normal. That keeps your odds honest instead of applying a boost to every chest you've ever opened.
- Come back next session. Your totals, daily history and settings stay in this browser. No account needed.
Where to see your chest count in Fortnite
Fortnite has no full chest counter, but there's a partial one. In the lobby, open the Quests tab and scroll the categories on the left to Treasure Hunt. Its chest-opening quest shows your running season total.
The catch: players report that the number stops being shown once you complete the 1,000-chest stage. If you're past that, open Settings → Set total chests manually above, enter your last known number (or 1000), and keep counting here. The in-game quest also only counts your own chests, not your squad's.
How Pirate Token odds work
Every chest is an independent roll. There's no pity timer and no "you're due". Opening more chests helps only because it gives you more rolls. With a per-chest chance r, your chance of at least one token after N chests is:
P = 1 − (1 − r)N
Epic's Fortnite Status account lists the odds as 1 in 137,500 per chest opened in a normal match (as quoted by Insider Gaming), and that's what this counter uses by default. The 1 in 700,000 figure you'll still see on other sites was early speculation. At the official rate:
| Chests opened | Chance of a token by now | Roughly |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | 0.073% | 1 in 1,376 |
| 500 | 0.36% | 1 in 276 |
| 1,000 | 0.72% | 1 in 138 |
| 5,000 | 3.57% | 1 in 28 |
| 10,000 | 7.01% | 1 in 14 |
| 25,000 | 16.6% | 1 in 6 |
| 50,000 | 30.5% | 1 in 3.3 |
| 95,300 | 50% | 1 in 2 |
| 316,600 | 90% | 1 in 1.1 |
Table uses 1 in 137,500, solo. It updates to match your settings in the counter.
In other words, the token is a lottery. Most players who play the whole season won't get it, and that's normal, not bad luck. Track your chests for perspective, not because you're "close".
Counting as a duo, trio or squad
Because a token found by one player benefits the party, what matters is how many chests your whole group opens. You have two options:
- Simple: one person counts their own chests and picks the party size. The counter multiplies the count by the party size.
- Exact: everyone counts on their own phone, then one person adds up the totals with Set total chests manually and selects Solo.
Players also report that if you're eliminated, you should stay in the match. You can still share in a teammate's find as long as you haven't left.
Boost windows
During the season, players have reported time-limited windows where token odds are boosted, with multipliers like ×1.5, ×2 or ×4 mentioned by the community. Epic hasn't confirmed specific numbers. If you play during one, switch the boost setting on while it's live and back to Off afterwards. Only the chests counted in that window get the higher rate.
Is there a Pirate Token finder or detector?
No, and anything claiming to be one is a scam. The token isn't hidden somewhere on the map. It's rolled at the moment a chest opens, so there's nothing to detect. Avoid any site, app, video or "AI finder" that says it can locate the token, especially if it asks for your Epic Games login. That's how accounts get stolen.
What actually helps is opening more chests per match: land in chest-dense areas, use items that reveal nearby chests, and plan routes through spots you know well.
FAQ
Does Fortnite have a built-in chest counter?
Only partly. The Treasure Hunt chest quest shows a running total, but players report it stops showing after the 1,000-chest stage. This page keeps counting with no limit.
What are the odds of getting the Pirate Token?
Epic's Fortnite Status account lists 1 in 137,500 per chest in a normal match. That's roughly 0.72% after 1,000 chests and 50% after about 95,000 chests. The 1 in 700,000 figure that circulated early was speculation.
Does opening more chests make the next one more likely?
No. Each chest is independent. Your overall chance rises with more chests, but the next chest is never "due".
Does my count save? Does it sync between devices?
It saves in this browser on this device only. Nothing is sent to a server, and there's no account. Clearing site data, or using a private or incognito window, will erase it.
Can I count past 1,000 chests?
Yes. There's no cap. Enter your current number under Set total chests manually and carry on.
Which chests count?
Count every chest you open yourself. If you're unsure whether a special chest type can roll the token, check the in-game quest wording or the latest community reports.
