You asked for info on drop rates, so here’s how it works:
The new treasure this season is found in chests just like other items. Treasure drop rates from chests are constant since season launch and don’t vary throughout the day, except during Treasure Hours. Other than Gizmos, you can’t get the same treasure twice.
Every time you open a chest in a normal match, here’s how likely you are to find the treasures:
• 1:1,562,500 - Weekly Gold Outfit
• 1:137,500 - Pirate Shop Access
• 1:7,813 - Weekly Vehicle & Decal
• 1:568 - Weekly Pickaxe or Backbling
• 1:391 - Weekly Jam Track
• 1:272 - Weekly Loading Screen
• 1:127 - Gizmo (any)
During Treasure Hours, including the one earlier today, these treasures have a boosted rate:
• Pirate Shop Access: 1.5x
• Weekly Gold Outfit: 7.5x
• Weekly Vehicle & Decal: 10x
These rates may be higher in future Treasure Hours. If so, we’ll let you know. For instance, during tonight’s 9-11pm ET Treasure Hour, Pirate Shop Access will be boosted to 2.0x and Weekly Gold Outfit to 10.0x.

Big news: Fortnite is coming back to the App Store in Australia tomorrow!
Today the Australia Federal Court told Apple to open up iOS after finding they violated competition law. Here’s what’s changing in Australia in March 2027:
• iOS will be open to third party app stores
• Australian users will be able to download apps directly from developers
• Developers will be able to offer only alternative payment systems and Apple can’t require devs to offer Apple’s IAP, without charging junk fees
• Apple cannot block developers from pointing users outside apps to make purchases
• Apple is barred from charging junk fees on purchases made in third party app stores
This is great news for developers worldwide and iOS users in Australia who will benefit from an open mobile app ecosystem.

* Targeted aim assist tweaks may release later in the season. We went in addressing potentially exploitative behavior, but are reverting for now while we refine the adjustments to ensure the right balance between being helpful but not aiming for you.

We’re investigating a player movement bug where you aren't able to sprint if your Forward Diagonal Angle setting is higher than 70, sometimes called “double movement.”
We'll share more info as we have a fix. 🏃

Once the team had established a vision to bring extraction/collection into the season - we knew the best way to serve that vision was a fresh map! Having new gameplay systems + a fresh map is a recipe we couldn't get away from! It helps to have a badass art and design team that can do the impossible everyday!!!
