Rumors in the Fortnite community suggest you can find a compass that helps you locate the ultra-rare Pirate Shop Token. Unfortunately, no such item exists in the game. It recently went viral because hundreds of thousands of players have spent countless hours searching for it.
This article outlines the compass’ origin and the latest updates regarding the mythical Pirate Shop Token.
Key takeaways
- No compass exists in Fortnite that will help you find the Pirate Shop Token.
- These clickbait videos have taken over TikTok.
- Epic Games has reported that selling accounts violates their terms of service, and no in-game tools exist to increase the likelihood of finding the rare item.
How do you get the compass in Fortnite?
As stated above, this rumored Fortnite compass doesn’t exist. It originated on TikTok, where creators claimed you can find it in-game and use it to locate a Chest containing the elusive Pirate Shop Token.
These videos usually depict a player with a compass displayed on-screen before they obtain the Pirate Shop Token. Several of these videos with similar images have surfaced since Epic Games released the Treasure Hunters season.
Many of these videos have generated hundreds of thousands of views, but they are all clickbait. One such post depicts a treasure-digging game where you can find the compass, and it will appear in your Fortnite locker.
Beyond the thousands of views generated, they also generate hundreds of comments. These comments have led trolls to respond that you can only find the compass during Fortnite “dev hours,” which leads to a “deez nuts” joke.
Fortnite warns against scams and account purchasing
The discussion surrounding the compass and other “tools” that can lead to the Pirate Shop Token has forced a response from Epic Games.
In a response to a Pirat_Nation post, Fortnite Status wrote, “Buying an account or using fake tools is a scam. This is just like any of the chests in Battle Royale, so every player has an equal opportunity to find Pirate Shop Access.”
Remember, no tools exist to help you find the Pirate Shop Token. It’s completely luck-based and could take several days of playing. Some players have reported looting chests non-stop since the season launch with no luck.
