On this page we explain how to get more V-Bucks for free in Fortnite: Battle Royale, with a breakdown of how to earn V-Bucks from daily log-ins and quests.Fortnite: Battle Royale’s easily one of the biggest free to play games on the planet, so it should come as no surprise to learn that the majority of its income pivots on the in-game Item Shop where players can purchase cosmetics with real world currency. Of course these don’t offer an advantages, but they’re purely for fashions sake and looking absolutely fabulous.

To bag your cosmetic goodies, you’ll be spending real world currency in exchange for V-Bucks. With these you’ll be able to buy new outfits for your character, new gliders, new harvesting tools, backblings and more (the list is exhaustive!). There’s also a little something called a Battle Pass, which adds a unique form of progression to your matches. It’ll level up as you play the game and complete its challenges, rewarding you with exclusive cosmetic gear that can’t be found in the Item Shop. As you can tell, there’s a lot on offer if splash a bit of cash.

Currently, the only way to get your mitts on a stack of V-Bucks is to fork out cash and choose a bundle of Bucks that fits your budget. If you’re a little strapped for money at the moment, it’s not all doom and gloom, however.

If you’ve got more time than cash at your disposal, then there are some surprisingly efficient methods for getting hold of more V-Bucks, and do so without whipping out your credit card too. There’s just one small drawback though, which is that you’ll need to buy the single-player Save The World PVE component of Fortnite. Sometimes you’ll find it at a discount, so do keep an eye on the store to save yourself a bit of cash.

Just below we’ve broken down all of the methods for getting free V-Bucks that are currently available to the player-base. Before you get going though, we’ll repeat Epic Game’s own warning that you should never click on any links promising free V-Bucks, or install any hacks on your device. It’s guaranteed that you’ll have your account stolen from you, sensitive details stolen or viruses of some nasty sort sliding into your system. Be careful.

UPDATE – January 2019 We’ve taken the opportunity to overhaul our free V-Bucks guide with all the latest information. Most notable of that new information is that Save The World is currently available at a 50% discount.

If you want to pick up a copy of the PVE side of Fortnite, you can now purchase it for $19.99 rather than $39.99. Most of the techniques for earning free V-Bucks depend on owning Save The World, and it likely won’t be this cheap again for some time to come.

Free V-Bucks from Daily Log-Ins

This is pretty much the easiest – albeit slowest – way to get your hands on a little extra free cash. Logging into the game each day will provide you with a small amount of the currency, and the bonus resets every day.

Just remember to fire the game up every single day and start banking those free V-Bucks – it’s not the fastest route towards tricking out your character, but it all adds up over time and it remains the most dependable ongoing route towards fattening up your wallet.

Free V-Bucks from Daily Quests
