Do you keep Pirate Shop items after 14 days?
Yes, according to the first winner. Epic's 14-day limit applies to claiming, not to the items, so anything you claim stays in your locker after the window closes. Because only the shop's daily rotation is available, what you can claim depends on what Epic puts in the shop during your 14 days. Plan your start date with the activation planner.
- Reported Items you claim during the window stay in your locker permanently. From the first winner; Epic's 14-day limit applies to claiming, not to the items. Sources: Dexerto (Callum Doyle), Timesaver.gg (Sam Okonkwo)
