This page contains tips for earning V-Bucks in Fortnite that can be spent in both PvE and Battle Royale.

EditUnlock Save the World

The only way to earn V-Bucks without paying real money is to play the PVE mode Save the World.

You can unlock the mode for $40(USD) but according to Epic it will be free to play sometime in 2018. While you may say “I can buy 2000 V-Bucks for that!,” you’ll be able to keep earning V-Bucks for free long after you’ve made back your initial downpayment.

V-Bucks are shared across your account, so any currency you earn in Save The World can be used at your discretion in Battle Royale as well!

EditMain Story/Storm Shield Defenses

As you progress through the main story, you’ll unlock Storm Shield Defenses. These always reward you with 100 V-Bucks, and are a great (replayable) way to earn cash.

EditChallenges

After finishing some early quests, you’ll unlock challenges that each offer 50 V-Bucks reward.

These are often centered around doing a certain type of mission multiple times, such as completing any 3 missions, but they can only be completed up to 10 times.

EditDaily Quests

More reliable than Challenges as they are offered routinely, Daily Quests also offer 50 V-Bucks each.

These objectives are usually focused on ancillary tasks during your missions, like destroying a set number of specific objects (trucks, vending machines, etc) around the map.

EditLeveling up your Collector’s Book

The 10th skill in your Tier 1 Skill Tree is the Recycling And Collection Book skill. Anytime you get a duplicate item, from Heroes to Weapons to Schematics, you should check to see if you can add it to your Collector’s Book.

As you fill out the pages of the book, Level 6 milestones will reward you with 500 V-Bucks.

Use caution to not put things in your collector’s book that you want to keep, since once you submit it for archiving, it becomes unusable. Only deposit your duplicates!
