KNOW YOUR
TREASURE.

The Shop holds a lot of possibilities. Here’s what reported Pirate Shop Access covers — and the exceptions to know before you activate.

THE RULE OF THUMB

Eligible cosmetics. Active window. Check in-game.

Reporting describes access to eligible V-Bucks Shop items for 14 days. It does not mean every purchase is free.

These are category-level rules, not a live list of today's items. Eligibility and limits must be checked on the item's in-game purchase screen.
