How the treasure chest drop rate math works
The table models every chest as an independent roll at a fixed base rate. If a reward drops 1 time in N, the chance of getting at least one after opening n chests is:
chance = 1 - (1 - 1/N)n
This starts with the chance of missing on one attempt, raises it to the number of attempts, then subtracts from one. It describes at least one drop across those attempts, rather than the chance on your next chest.
How many chests give a 50% chance?
At base rates, the first whole chest count reaching 50% is 88 for any Gizmo, 189 for a weekly loading screen, 271 for a weekly Jam Track and 394 for a weekly pickaxe or back bling.
The rarer rewards take much larger modeled counts: 5,416 chests for a weekly car and decal, 95,308 for Pirate Shop Access and 1,083,043 for a weekly Solid Gold skin. At each threshold, there is still about a one-in-two chance of missing that reward. None of these numbers is an unlock requirement or a promised waiting time.
Why the next chest does not become luckier
Under the independent-roll model, opening more chests increases the cumulative chance because you have made more attempts. It does not improve the next roll. A run of misses does not make a drop “due”: the next ordinary chest still uses the same published base rate.
Your chest odds after 100 and 1,000 chests
Compare the last two columns for the reward you want. For a weekly pickaxe or back bling, 100 chests give 16%, while 1,000 give 82%. Opening 568 chests does not guarantee it; that gives about 63%.
Pirate Shop Access remains below 1% even after 1,000 base-rate attempts. Read each row separately; the percentage for a Gizmo does not describe your chance of finding access or a gold skin.

How Treasure Hours affect the odds
Epic’s season announcement lists Treasure Hours Saturdays. The calculator uses the published first-session values below when you choose a boost.
These are the multipliers Epic published for the first Treasure Hour on November 7, 2026, reported by media citing @FortniteStatus. Later sessions can differ; Epic said future rates may be higher. The second November 7 session raised Pirate Shop Access to 2× and the weekly Solid Gold skin to 10×. These are historical session values, not a fixed Saturday schedule.

The table uses base odds throughout. If your tally mixes ordinary and boosted chests, its base-rate percentage does not capture those different rates. See Treasure Hours in our Fortnite Pirate Shop Access guide for details.
