Is the Fortnite Pirate Token Boosted During Mastery Monday?

No, the Fortnite Pirate Token drop rate is not boosted during Master Monday and has a 1 in 137,500 chance of appearing per chest. Epic Games says the per-chest odds only go up during Treasure Hours.

You can still find the Pirate Token during Mastery Monday, including from Sprite Chests, although it’s drop will be extremely rare. That said, since Sprite Chests are boosted during the event, you could get a few extra chances if you open more than you normally would. Each chest still has the usual drop rate.

Everything Boosted in Fortnite Mastery Monday Today

• More Sprite Chests and Wanted Posters. Both are more common around Crossbones Isle during the event.
• More Sprite XP. Most of the tracked XP rewards are doubled, including assists, downs, opening containers, and extractions. Eliminations give 400 Sprite XP instead of 300.
• Double Sprite Dust. Regular extractions and wins pay out at 2×, and Gummy extractions go from 1.1× to 2.2×.

If you missed the November 8 Captain’s Day update, today is also a good time to look for the new Cursed Sprites. With more Sprite Chests and Wanted Posters around the island, you’ll have more places to look for the ones you’re missing.

Once you find a Cursed Sprite, it can help you track down other rare variants. Just watch out for water, since it damages you while you have one equipped.
