V-Bucks are one of the most important things in Fortnite: Battle Royale. Without them, players would largely be without Item Shop cosmetics and without the Battle Pass every season that allows them to earn awesome new cosmetics. To get these, there are a few options. Every once in a while, Epic Games gives V-Bucks to players for free. This is a very rare occurrence, though. Alternatively, there are 300 V-Bucks available for free on the Battle Pass for all members. There are a lot more available for those who purchase the pass- enough to continue buying Battle Passes in perpetuity. However, the most common method to acquire V-Bucks is by doing so in the game. Here are the steps: Open the Fortnite app. Log in to the appropriate account. Navigate to the V-Bucks tab. Choose the amount of V-Bucks you want. The lowest is 1,000. Select Purchase to go to your platform’s check-out system. This is different on Xbox, PC, mobile, Nintendo Switch and etc. Enter your payment information and proceed. Additionally, there are ways to get codes for V-Bucks from retail stores. These codes can then be redeemed in Fortnite for the specified amount of V-Bucks. Here’s how to do that: Go to the Epic Games website. Log in with the appropriate credentials. Make sure these are the same as the Fortnite account you play on actively. Enter the code found on the back of the purchased V-Bucks gift card. Follow the remaining instructions on the website to redeem your purchase. Open the Fortnite app. Log in. Receive the V-Bucks. V-Bucks are the main money-making method for Epic Games, so they’ve made purchasing and redeeming them fairly simple and straightforward. Currently, those are the only two ways to purchase V-Bucks. Any third-party methods or other sellers cannot be trusted unless Epic Games says otherwise. Those are likely scams and will cost you money and not give you V-Bucks in all likelihood. In general, it’s best not to use anything but official channels when purchasing anything for Fortnite.
