Fortnite’s new mini-season, Treasure Hunters, has introduced the greatest treasure in the game’s nine-year history: The Pirate Shop Token. This ultra-rare reward grants players unlimited free items from Fortnite’s Item Shop for two whole weeks.

The Pirate Shop Token was first discovered by leakers like @ShiinaBR. Shortly after the season went live on November 1, the first reports of players discovering the Pirate Shop Token confirmed the early reports: this item lets the player, and anyone who is in their party at the time of acquisition, redeem any and all items featured in the Item Shop. This means that players can score hundreds of dollars’ worth of Outfits, Emotes, Jam Tracks, and other items for free if they’re lucky enough.

It sent the fan base into a frenzy. The new season has only been live for less than 48 hours, and social media is awash with memes about the hunt for this coveted treasure. Some players aren’t even bothering to fight others as they seek to open as many chests as possible, while others have already started to map the optimum routes to open as many chests as possible in a match. Others have joked about abandoning their real-life responsibilities in order to maximize their time on the game.

One Piece is the headline collaboration for this Fortnite season, and similar to that series, Fortnite has ignited the ultimate hunt for an invaluable treasure.
