So basically from what this and their credited help are saying, searching chests doesn’t directly roll a chance of getting the pirate token, the chance of the token even being in the match is predetermined and then if it’s decided it’s tied to one specific chest in the match

ADDING MORE FROM THE GAME FILES ON HOW TREASURE HUNT PRIZES ACTUALLY WORK
Prize table is DT_DelilahTreasureHunt_Prizes (build 43.00). 16 prizes total
Pirate Shop Access is the only one set to PreRollOnly. All other 15 are AttemptPreRoll
This means the Pirate Shop token is the only prize determined exclusively before the chest opens. The other 15 can be considered during the pre-roll but aren’t restricted to that phase
Other prizes
- 10 cosmetics (Major/Supreme): 2 gold outfits, pickaxe, back bling, 2 jam tracks, 2 loading screens, 2 gold car decals. One-time only. They drop from Treasure Hunt chests and get added to your account through a quest reward.
- 5 Sprite Gizmos (Standard): Lucky Locator, Relic Finder, smuggler’s key, etc. Can be won multiple times, go straight into match inventory.
Roll behavior
- Prize roll is requested the first time a player tries to open a Treasure Hunt chest (or if destroyed before opening).
- Roll finishes first, then the chest opens and drops normal loot.
- Gold chest animation is skipped for Standard tier prizes.
- No per-match limit in the files (PerMatchMaxAmount: -1).
Server pools
- Prizes come from pools with start/end times + StartingInventory / RemainingInventory.
- Each week has separate RegularPrizes and PowerHourPrizes lists.

@StrawHatAnt_ Oh yeha sorry I mainly got the conclusion from also reading this post by the guy who they credited for help , they essentially are saying something along the lines of what I’ve said I hope I’m just reading into this wrong https://t.co/mtjWzZL0o8
how the Pirate Shop token actually works, straight from the game files (part 1)
the treasure hunt has 16 prizes in a table called DT_DelilahTreasureHunt_Prizes. every prize has a setting called PreRollMode. the token (DelilahTreasure_6, "Pirate Shop Access") is the only one set to PreRollOnly. the other 15 are all AttemptPreRoll.
it's also the only prize handed out through Clover (DelilahTreasureHuntCloverRewardGrant). Clover is Epic's server that keeps count of the tokens. the config has two URLs for it:
.../prizes/{prizeId}/prize-reservation
.../prize-reservation/claim
the game also has a RequestPrizePreRoll function, and every prize request carries the chest ("Container") and a "bPreRoll" flag.
put together, it most likely works like this: the match server reserves a token from Epic's stock and ties it to one specific chest before anyone opens it, then claims it when that chest gets opened. a chest that wasn't picked can't give the token, no matter how or when you open it.
what's proven and what isn't:
- proven: only the token is PreRollOnly, and only the token goes through Clover
- inferred from the names: exactly when the pre-roll happens
- not in the files at all: the odds, how many tokens exist, or how a chest gets picked
so there's no trick. more chests = more chances. part 2 covers how the other prizes work.
Bruh!! I just want a lucky locator so I can get a 1st edition sweet dreams sprite , how are people getting them?? All I get are extraction accelerators 😭
Before being scrapped for this season, the Holofoil and Gummy variants for Jazz Jackrabbit were added to the files.
The Holofoil version used the Dream Sprite as a placeholder while the Gummy variant was fully finished.
I’m guessing that they’re not actually gonna go away but the system is gonna be reworked with a new menu and extraction system that will run multi season rather than using the season specific Runners framework
UNCONFIRMED: SPRITES WILL BE REMOVED IN CHAPTER 8 ‼️👀
- Almost all extraction files, including its core one, are set to leave after the Mini-Season next month
- Sprites from Season 3 & Season 4 are also set to leave for Chapter 8. These Sprites are displayed on the collected Sprites tab that showcase previous seasons collections, meaning this tab will be gone after Mini-Season
