- Another player said switching devices restored lost cosmetics.

## Summary

A Fortnite player says a game disconnection wiped out an extremely rare Pirate Shop Access token they had just found. Epic Games support reportedly could not verify the reward in the account’s records, despite the player sending a recording of the notification, leaving them without a token that grants free shop rewards.

The article says the token can be activated twice and provides two weeks of access to every Pirate Shop reward. Another player reported losing treasure chest cosmetics to a similar glitch, but said logging in on another device restored them. The article advises players who find the token to leave the match safely, including by deliberately dying in-game, to reduce the chance of losing it after a crash.
