How to check how many chests you've opened, step by step
- Sign in with the account you play onThe count is tied to your Epic account, so check it on the same account you use for Treasure Hunters.
- Open the Quests tabFrom the lobby, go to Quests. The quest categories are listed down the left side.
- Scroll down to "Treasure Hunt"Note the name: the mini-season is called Treasure Hunters, but the quest category is Treasure Hunt. That small difference is why so many players can't find it.
- Read the chest-opening questThe progress on the chest-opening quest is your season total. The quest pays out bonus XP at milestones on the way.
Why your chest count stops at 1,000
The number you see belongs to a quest, not to a stats page. Players describe a chest quest with several stages, the last of which is 1,000 chests, and say earlier stages (such as 500) count toward it. Once you finish that final stage the quest is complete — and that is when many players say Fortnite stops showing their running total.
It's one of the most common questions on Reddit this season: threads asking how to track chests "beyond 1,000" keep appearing in r/FortniteBR, and some players say they simply lost count after finishing the quest. One player says the quest kept counting up to around 2,500, which doesn't match most reports — so the exact cutoff may differ Disputed.
How to keep counting past 1,000 chests
There's no official way to see your chest count once the quest is done. These are the practical options:
- Use a chest counter. Open the Pirate Token Tracker, choose Set your count manually, enter 1000 (or your last known number) and press Save. Then tap +1 — or press Space — after each chest. It saves in your browser and shows your live odds.
- Count matches instead of chests. If you won't tap during a match, log matches and multiply by your usual chests per match. It's less precise but takes no effort.
- Keep a tally at the end of each session. A quick note — "Saturday: 9 matches, about 60 chests" — adds up to a decent running total.
None of these will be exact, and that's fine. For the Pirate Token, your count is about perspective, not progress: it can't unlock anything.
Do your teammates' chests count?
Not in your in-game count. Guides report that chest-opening XP goes to the player who opens the chest, so your quest only tracks your own chests Reported. For the Pirate Token, though, your squad's chests matter too: when a teammate finds it, the whole party receives it. That's why our tracker multiplies your count by your party size when it works out your odds.
| Who it counts | Shared with the squad? | |
|---|---|---|
| Chest count in the Treasure Hunt quest | Only chests you open | No |
| Chest-opening bonus XP | Only the player who opens the chest | No |
| Pirate Shop Access (the token) | Any chest anyone in the party opens | Yes — everyone in the party gets it |
What your chest count means for the Pirate Token
Epic hasn't published the drop rate, and two very different estimates are going around: the widely cited 1 in 700,000 per chest Estimate, and a dataminer model reported by VICE that works out to about 1 in 2,000 Disputed. Here's the chance you'd have found it by now under each:
| Chests opened | At 1 in 700,000 | At 1 in 2,000 |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | 0.014% | 4.9% |
| 350 | 0.05% | 16% |
| 500 | 0.071% | 22% |
| 1,000 | 0.14% | 39% |
| 2,000 | 0.29% | 63% |
| 5,000 | 0.71% | 92% |
Look at the 1,000 and 2,000 rows. If the rate were really 1 in 2,000, most players who have finished the 1,000-chest quest would have a token by now — yet Reddit is full of players past 1,500 or 2,000 chests with nothing. That doesn't prove either number, but it's a good reason to treat 1 in 2,000 with caution. The full comparison is on the odds page.
Which chests count toward your total
Players and guides report that the chests linked to Treasure Hunt rewards include regular Treasure Chests, Rare Chests, Buried Chests and Sprite Chests Reported. Vaults are worth opening when you find a key: each one reportedly holds three Rare Chests and a Sprite Chest. Crossbones Isle has more than 500 treasure chests, so routes through dense areas raise your count fastest. For route tips, see how to get the Pirate Shop Token.
Is there a Fortnite chest counter app?
Fortnite doesn't have a built-in chest counter beyond the quest, and we're not aware of any official stat you can look up outside the game. Fan-made counters like our tracker work by letting you tap once per chest — they can't read your account. Be wary of any app or site that asks for your Epic login to "sync" your chests or "check" for a token: nothing legitimate needs it.
A quick routine for counting chests
- Start of season: check the Treasure Hunt quest once a day so you always know your last number.
- Near 1,000: note your exact count before you finish the quest.
- After 1,000: keep the tracker open on your phone or a second screen and tap after each chest.
- Playing in a squad: agree on one person to track, then set the party size in the tracker.
