Fortnite's Ultra-Rare Pirate Shop Token Hunt Sparks Wave of Profiteering and eBay Listings

Fortnite's latest crossover event with One Piece has had players eagerly searching for a rare Pirate Shop Token that grants free access to the item shop. Those who manage to locate the token can claim almost anything for free within a two-week period, with claimed items remaining on the player's account permanently. However, some players have taken advantage of the situation by sharing exploits and selling tools to automatically farm the token, even offering to guide other players for a fee.

There is no official drop rate, but estimates suggest that the token can be found in one out of every 700,000 chests. Some are even offering to carry players to the token for a price. The rare token has also led to listings on eBay for Fortnite accounts with Pirate Shop access, with prices ranging from $9,000 to $10,000. However, Epic Games' terms of service prohibit the buying, selling, and exploiting of Fortnite accounts, so unauthorized attempts could result in an account ban.
