What are V-Bucks in Fortnite?

Have you played Epic's Battle Royale? You might have noticed other gamers looking way more glamorous than you. That's because they've used V-Bucks, which are used to purchase outfits, emotes, and Battle Pass, unlocking even more items.

V-Bucks - The virtual currency used to buy items in Fortnite

Understanding Fortnite V-Bucks: What are V-Bucks?

Epic's Fortnite Battle Royale is entirely free with a staggering player base, and Epic undoubtedly makes money from it. The answer lies in Fortnite V-Bucks, a virtual currency allowing you to splurge on a vibrant collection of outfits. However, you can't spend your digital dollars on anything giving you a competitive edge. Items purchasable with Fortnite V-Bucks are purely aesthetic, offering no gameplay advantage.

You can also use Fortnite V-Bucks to snag yourself a Battle Pass, an upgradable system each season. Here, you can unlock challenges for additional stylish flair. The Battle Pass is priced at 950 V-Bucks, and outfits, trendy emotes range from 500 to 1500, with legendary skins priced at 2000.

Is it possible to get free Fortnite V-Bucks?

How can you receive free V-Bucks in Fortnite?

Epic's virtual currency can be purchased with real money, but the enticing part is that first, you need to invest in Save the World. Free V-Bucks giveaways still exist, but exercise caution, as many links and websites claiming to provide free V-Bucks are essentially scams. In March 2018, Epic used a tweet to caution Fortnite fans about revealing their information.

If you've purchased Fortnite Save the World, you can collect free V-Bucks simply by logging into the game and claiming daily login rewards. Note: You may not always get free V-Bucks when logging in, as sometimes you might receive a llama loot box. That means daily logins aren't necessarily the fastest way to accrue them. Even if you don't have time to play, make sure to log in for the best chance to earn this virtual currency.

You can also earn free V-Bucks from daily missions and challenges in Save the World. The main story missions of Storm Shield Defense offer another way for everyone to earn 100 V-Bucks each. Fortnite V-Bucks earned in Save the World can then be used for new themes in Battle Royale.

Similarly, if you invest in buying the Battle Pass, you can earn free V-Bucks as you battle your way through the game's progression system. While technically they may not be free, if you level up far enough in a season, you can entirely earn free currency for future seasons.

What's the price of Fortnite V-Bucks?

Fortnite V-Bucks come with specific price tags. Below, you'll find the V-Bucks packages and their costs:
- 600 V-Bucks (including the Wilde outfit): £3.99/$4.99 (approximately 116,000 VND).

To join the Battle Pass, you need to spend 950 V-Bucks, so opting for the 1000 package will reimburse you with £8/$10. This allows you to engage in weekly challenges and unlock additional items. The Battle Pass is valid for a season, lasting at least ten weeks itself. Complete challenges to earn battle stars and progress through the 100 tiers of the Battle Pass, or you can spend money to unlock each tier (150 Fortnite V-Bucks/tier).

How to purchase Fortnite V-Bucks

If you lack time to earn cosmetics through the Battle Pass or find a skin that perfectly suits your favorite outfit, you can buy it with Fortnite V-Bucks. The easiest way to do this is in the pre-match menus, simply navigate to the top right of the window when you are in the lobby. The number next to the coin icon with a 'V' on it indicates your current V-Bucks status. Clicking there is a way to access the V-Bucks payment screen.

Similarly, you can click on the Battle Pass tab in the pre-match menu, providing you with more information on what you can get if you purchase. If you buy one, this is also where you pay to unlock it. You can also click on the Item Shop tab to browse featured items for sale. Clicking on them allows you to scrutinize each piece of loot and the Get V-Bucks option by selecting the flashing yellow button.
