Pirate Shop Method UPDATE + Day 2 Info:
NEW Method - Alt Account - An account that has not yet received any event rewards appears to have significantly increased odds of receiving a drop, I tested today and received multiple drops within 150 chests, and 3 drops in one match in another instance; play with your main in the same match as the alt to ensure both get rewards.
Also, it is not known if these drops are adjusted for rarity, but regardless, you will get extra rolls towards a drop with this.
Early Loot Method - There is strong evidence to suggest that the early loot mechanics have been nerfed from yesterday, unless the account is new, early chests will have about the same odds as the others, there is still a statistical advantage to backing out early; if you land bad or are far away from chests, back out.
AFK Method - This still works, assuming your team is playing and actively looting chests, it is slower than playing it out, but it is still good for anyone that is busy with school or work and wants to chill.
Playing it out - Still solid, it is good to remain in the game as long as teammates are looting and playing well.
Drop Rarity: Skin and Pirate Shop are still rarest followed by Car and then everything else. Accounts that have received more than 3-5 rewards and are just hunting for the shop appear to have worse odds overall enter day 2, drops are fewer between and you may go many chests without seeing anything.
Matches: Still the same - Squads, Unranked, Any Region, you can try Israel or alternative regions for fun, but there really isn't any difference here, you might take longer to find a game if you do and deal with more lag in match.
Epic Games: Epic has allowed the grind to continue and is likely adjusting the rarity to keep the shop rarer.
Epic has offered up the highest value incentive they have ever done, and this is pretty much the last move they have short of just making the entire shop free or significantly cheaper.
This is a massive risk for Epic, both financially and for long term engagement, but they don't have many options left, they have literally tried everything now.
If the grind becomes too unrewarding and many players miss out, hype will die down and many players will move on to GTA 6 when it drops. Many players will still move on to GTA 6 because it will be the largest entertainment release in history and a massive cultural event.
If the pirate shop promo ends badly and many players miss out, and then enter Chapter 8 with the same high item shop prices, stale gameplay, and AI slop (this is coming from an AI artist, Epic has not done well to innovate with AI, to lead with effort and human creativity), Fortnite is cooked, there will be no coming back.
I believe Epic will have to offer up even more this time around to secure the dub, otherwise this is probably the last major hype run that Fortnite will have.

Pirate Shop Method + Info:
Method #1 - Early Loot - Your chances appear to be significantly higher at the start of the match (both, actual in-game RNG as well as statistically, most of my rewards have been off rip), loot 3-5 chests or a POI, and back out.
Method #2 - AFK Squads - Teammates loot for you, your odds lower as the game progresses (both RNG + statistically), or if a gizmo / low tier reward drops. Leave if your team dies or is too busy fighting and not looting enough. This is a slower but great method for anyone that is busy with school or work and wants to grind passively.
Method #3 - Play it out - Play passive, loot, ideally have sweaty team that is also searching, use movement items, and go for vaults and buried chests as well, many underrated POIs and most beach spots are great as well as the cove / cave areas.
- Any chest counts, even sprite chests, open or destroy, same odds.
- Anyone in team can get, all will get, even if spectating.
- Squads is best, Builds or Zero, Any Region
- You still have to deal with RNG! - but method will give you more rolls + maximize your odds
- Skin is rarest by far followed by Shop and Car, everything else is easier to get
- Odds were likely slightly adjusted from earlier today, but not a full on nerf, this is just from my observations, Epic is likely monitoring this but will be careful not to ruin the fun otherwise hype will die down, Epic really wants the player count right now to compete with Rockstar / GTA 6 release
- Very likely to be changed later on, or it'll turn into a "Dev boost" situation like with Rocket League
