What changed in Respawn Rumble
When Treasure Hunters launched on November 1, some players said they picked up Treasure Hunt prizes — like A$AP Rocky's gold gauntlets — while playing rumble modes, and many hoped the Pirate Token could drop there too. Respawn Rumble is tempting: you respawn, so you can keep looting without the pressure of being eliminated.
By November 3, players reported that the mode had been changed: extraction sites gone, Sprite Chests empty and no gizmos dropping. Players concluded the Pirate Token is "likely" unavailable there as well. Reported
Can you get the pirate token in Respawn Rumble or Team Rumble?
Team Rumble has been replaced by Respawn Rumble, so most questions about "Team Rumble" today refer to the same mode. Either way, there's no shown token find, and the latest reports suggest the prize pool was switched off there. Spending your hunting time in Battle Royale is the safer bet.
Where you can find the Pirate Token
| Mode | Token? | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Battle Royale (regular matches) | Yes — where finds have been shown | Reported |
| Zero Build | Same chests; not specifically reported yet | Not confirmed |
| Respawn Rumble / Team Rumble | Probably not — prizes reportedly removed Nov 3 | Disputed |
| Ranked | Players say ranked doesn't include the seasonal prizes | Not confirmed |
| Reload / OG modes | No reports either way | Unknown |
| Bot lobbies | Mixed reports | Disputed |
The better way to farm chests
- Play Battle Royale squads. Every teammate's chest counts for the whole party.
- Revisit looted areas. Epic says chests now refill over time this season. Official
- Hunt on Mondays. Mastery Monday adds more Sprite Chests and Wanted Posters. Official
- Stay in the match after you die. Players report you still get the token if a teammate finds it, as long as you don't leave.
