Discover how to earn V-Bucks in Fortnite without spending real money
If you're a dedicated Fortnite player but would rather not spend cash on the game, you may be curious about legitimate ways to earn V-Bucks for free. While only a few methods are available, they are all fairly simple. Keep reading for more details.
Free V-Bucks Earning Methods
The most reliable way to earn free V-Bucks is by completing the Battle Pass. The free Battle Pass offers 300 V-Bucks as a reward. Alternatively, you can ask friends or family for V-Bucks as a gift. Be cautious of websites claiming to generate free V-Bucks, as they are often scams.
How to Get Started
Battle Pass Rewards
Unlock 300 V-Bucks by completing the free Battle Pass. Each season, Fortnite releases a new Battle Pass. You can purchase the premium version for 950 V-Bucks to unlock all rewards, but there's also a free version that offers fewer rewards—though it still includes 300 V-Bucks as a reward.
- If you manage to save up enough free V-Bucks, you can upgrade to the premium Battle Pass, which grants 1,500 V-Bucks.
V-Bucks Gifts from Friends & Family
Request V-Bucks as a gift from your friends or family. If you'd like to get V-Bucks but don't have the funds yourself, consider asking your loved ones for V-Bucks as a gift for special occasions like birthdays, Christmas, or other celebrations.
- V-Bucks cards are available at retailers like Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Amazon, and more. For example, 1,000 V-Bucks costs $8.99, 2,800 V-Bucks is priced at $22.99, 5,000 V-Bucks is $36.99, and 13,500 V-Bucks can be purchased for $89.99.
Save the World (Founder's Pack)
Complete missions in Save the World with the Founder's Pack for V-Bucks. If you were fortunate enough to obtain the Founder's Pack before it was phased out in June 2020, you can earn V-Bucks by completing various missions in Save the World mode. Unfortunately, if you missed the Founder's Pack, it is no longer available for purchase.
Identifying Scams
Stay away from websites that claim to offer free V-Bucks generators. When searching for ways to earn free V-Bucks online, you'll likely come across numerous websites that promise to generate free V-Bucks for you. These sites are scams that can waste your time or, even worse, compromise your personal information. It's safest to avoid them altogether because if something seems too good to be true, it probably is.
