Pirate Shop Token Odds Calculator

By the Shop Token Guide editors · Updated 2026-11-03 · Sources and labels

Epic has not published the drop rate. The calculator works with a rate you choose. Any rate you enter is an assumption, not the real one.

How the odds calculator works

Each chest is treated as an independent roll with chance p = 1 / N. Your chance of at least one token after c chests is 1 − (1 − p)^c. The chests needed for a target chance t are ln(1 − t) / ln(1 − p). With squad sharing on, c = your chests × squad size.

Worked example (an assumption, not a real rate): at 1 in 100,000, 10 chests a match and 20 matches, you open 200 chests, and your chance is about 0.2%. With a four-player squad sharing finds, it is 800 chests and about 0.8%.

Frequently asked questions

What are the real Pirate Shop token odds?

Unknown. Epic has not published a drop rate. This calculator only shows what a rate you choose would mean.

Is the "1 in 700,000" chance real?

We found no source for it: no datamine, Epic statement or sample size. You can still enter it to see how it plays out.

Why does squad sharing change the result?

If every squad member gets the token when one finds it, each chest your teammates open is also a chance for you. The calculator multiplies your chests by your squad size when you tick that box.

Does opening more chests in one match raise the odds per chest?

There is no evidence that it does. The calculator treats each chest as an independent roll at the rate you enter.
