How to Get Free V-Bucks on Fortnite Battle Royale

GCLoot - September 21, 2020

Confession: when Fortnite Battle Royale dropped a couple of years ago, we weren’t very impressed. It just seemed so kiddy, even compared to Overwatch. We were more of Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, and Red Dead Redemption type gamers at the time.

But after watching friends play the game for a couple of hours, we became intrigued. So we gave it a try… and got sucked down the Fortnite rabbit hole. This game is seriously awesome.

One of the best things about Fortnite Battle Royale is that it’s free to play… however, anyone used to the free to play model will know that nothing is completely “free.” Players will have to grind to earn an in-game currency called Vinderbucks or V-Bucks to buy all sorts of cool items.

These items are purely cosmetic, but in a game with over 200 million users, standing out is of prime importance. V-Bucks can also be used to purchase the “premium track”, which makes more missions and gives you prizes for whenever you move up a tier. You can also spend V-Bucks to move up tiers, so the currency has value beyond just buying cosmetic upgrades.

Avoid Scams!

Before we give you tips on how to score free V-Bucks, we need to tell you how to avoid all the scams out there. A user base of 200 million presents a huge opportunity for shady individuals. So these people set up websites that promise to give you free Fortnite V-Bucks.

But how do you know that they’re fake? That’s a valid question. And here’s another question you might be asking: why is this blog not fake, when we’re also writing about free V-Bucks?

For starters, those scammy sites will require your credit card info, or look for ways to install malware into your computer. So they’re just fronts for malicious individuals. And you won’t even get any V-Bucks. This blog post won’t be showing you “cheats” and “hacks” for getting free V-Bucks. The methods listed here are legit, and perfectly within the rules set forth by Epic Games, the publisher of Fortnite Battle Royale.

Finally, if a website makes promises that sound too good to be true, it probably is. So avoid those sites, especially ones that ask for your financial info, or require you to download some app or program.
