Unearth Riches and Face Challenges During Fortnite's Cursed Treasure Hours
Enhancing the Gaming Experience with Specialized Events
Fortnite continues its tradition of engaging hourly weekend events within the Chapter 7 mini-season, now themed as "Treasure Hunters." These designated periods, known as treasure hours, are specifically designed to amplify the game's pirate-inspired content. During these limited windows, participants will experience elevated drop rates for particular sprites and will commence their matches equipped with exclusive in-game items, adding a layer of strategic depth and excitement to their adventures.
The Perils and Rewards of Cursed Treasure
This week's focus is on the "Cursed treasure hours," which significantly boosts the frequency of Cursed variant sprites. Additionally, players will instantly receive Lil Uzi Vert's Lil' SMG upon entering the game. While Cursed sprites increase the likelihood of acquiring rare Sprite variants, they also introduce a distinctive environmental challenge: players will sustain damage when in contact with water, demanding careful navigation and tactical gameplay.
Increased Rarity and Exclusive Loot Opportunities
Notably, Epic Games has officially confirmed through social media that these treasure hours substantially raise the drop rates for cosmetic treasures, including the coveted Pirate Shop Access Token. Typically, the token possesses a rare drop rate of 1 in 137,500. However, during these special hours, this rate is amplified by 1.5 times, significantly increasing players' chances of obtaining this exclusive item. While further increases are possible, official announcements regarding such changes have not yet been made.
