Everyone that plays Fortnite wants to get V-Bucks for free, but it’s very rare that anything in this world comes free, and that’s certainly the case here. There are ways that you can get your hands on more V-Bucks, but getting them for free really isn’t possible.
If you see someone offering free V-Bucks, you should be very skeptical, as it’s probably a scam.
In this article, we’re going to show you some of the quickest ways that you can earn yourself some more V-Bucks. Read on for more.
Why Get Free V-Bucks?
Getting V-Bucks in Fortnite for free is extremely tempting because of all of the emotes, skins, and other cosmetic items you can purchase with them. But, the unfortunate truth is that anyone or any website that is offering ‘free V-Bucks’ is trying to scam you.
It is vital that you do not give these kinds of websites your personal information or account details. They will probably use that information to tamper with your account, and things could get serious if you give them your banking details.
The quickest way to get more V-Bucks will always be to spend your real money in Fortnite’s in-game store, but all hope is not lost. You are still able to earn ‘free’ V-Bucks in the game, and we’re going to show you how in just a bit.
V-Bucks are the premium currency available in Fortnite. Game companies and developers create premium currencies, which can be purchased by players with real money, as a way to bypass any ‘gates’ that may be preventing them from unlocking an item, like a skin or emote.
Earning V-Bucks for Progression
One of the easiest ways to earn V-Bucks for free in Fortnite is to level up, using experience points, by completing various Fortnite challenges. As you progress and gain more levels, you will reach new tiers in the Battle Pass system, both the paid and free versions.
Most of the tiers reward you with different items, like emotes and weapon skins, but every now and then, you’ll receive a tier that awards you 100 V-Bucks. As you know, you can spend these V-Bucks in the store.
Leveling up is most effective when playing aggressively in games, surviving longer, getting eliminations, and earning a bonus to the experience you receive. Doing all of these things will reward you with experience points, and once you accumulate enough, you’ll level up.
It pays to play.
Fortnite: Save the World
The original, and much less-popular, horde mode, called Fortnite: Save The World, provides you with daily bonuses for logging in, rewards for Storm Shield Defense missions, and for completing daily challenges.
Doing these things is a fast and easy way to earn a bit of currency each day, though you will actually have to buy the game mode to do so.
At the moment, Fortnite: Save The World costs $19.99 but frequently goes on sale if you are patient enough. You are able to potentially earn thousands of V-Bucks, simply for playing the game daily, or as often as you can, and by completing missions.
Unfortunately, the core gameplay and mechanics are quite different from the Battle Royale, and if you don’t like them, then the game can be quite boring. Still, it’s worth trying out.
Avoiding Scams
Since Fortnite became globally popular, there have been a plethora of scammers and dishonest players trying to take advantage of those that want to get their hands on some new items in-game. There are plenty of YouTube videos, unofficial sites, and social media posts that promise to reward you with free V-Bucks.
They are all fake.
No matter what happens, never give out your personal, account, or banking information to anyone or any site, even if they claim to be from Epic Games. The actual company would never ask you for any of that information.
Wrapping Up
Try not to be too disappointed by not being able to get V-Bucks for free. Nothing good ever comes easy, and it certainly doesn’t come for free. If you follow the methods we mentioned above, then you’ll be swimming in ‘clean’ V-Bucks in no time.
