What FortHelper is

A free, unofficial website to keep next to your Fortnite matches during the Treasure Hunters season. You use it on a second device: your phone, a tablet or another monitor. It is not installed on the machine you play on and it does not interact with the game.

Treasure Hours

The home page and the Treasure Hours page show the next session Epic has confirmed, converted to your device’s time, with a countdown.

• Confirmed: Epic has published the times.
• Live now: the session is running right now.
• Expected: Epic has said there will be a session that day but has not published the time. We do not make one up.
• Rumour and Awaiting verification: there is no backing from Epic.

If your device’s clock or time zone is wrong, the countdown will be wrong too.

Calculator

Pick a treasure, say how many chests you open per match and how many matches you will play. You will see the chance of finding it at least once, with and without the Treasure Hours boost. The methodology page explains the calculation.

Match mode and counter

1. Press Start match as you leave the bus.
2. Tap Chest opened every time you open a chest. On a computer you can also use the space bar.
3. If you slip, press Undo.
4. If you find a treasure, record it with Log a treasure.
5. Press End match to see the summary.

The counter is manual because there is no official, permitted way to read from the game how many chests you open. Any tool that does it automatically is reading the game or your account through unauthorised means.

Matching the in-game total

The game shows your opened chests in the Quests tab, in the Treasure Hunt section. Under “Adjust total” you can type that figure so FortHelper’s total matches.

Keyboard shortcut

You can change the key under “Keyboard shortcut”. It only works while the FortHelper page is open and focused: it is not a global shortcut and it sends nothing to the game.

The screen turns off

During a match, FortHelper asks the browser to keep the screen on. Some browsers do not allow it, or turn it off in battery saver mode.

Your data

Everything is stored on your device, in the browser’s storage. There are no accounts. If you clear your browser data or use private mode, the history is lost.

• Export data downloads a file with your history.
• Import data loads it on another device or browser.
• Erase my data removes everything from this device.

Installing it as an app

• Android (Chrome): browser menu, “Install app” or “Add to Home screen”.
• iPhone and iPad (Safari): Share button, “Add to Home Screen”.
• Computer (Chrome or Edge): install icon in the address bar.

Offline

After the first visit, the pages and the counter work offline. The schedules you see will be the last ones downloaded; a notice reminds you.

Keeping your account safe

FortHelper will never ask for your Epic Games username, password or any code. Nobody can add Pirate Shop Access to your account: be wary of any site or person promising to.
