V-Bucks, the in-game currency of Fortnite, typically needs to be purchased with real money. However, Epic Games offers different ways of earning premium currency for free from time to time.

This is mostly done through the Battle Pass, as each usually grants around 1,500 V-Bucks for premium users and 300 for free users. This means that they can earn it while simply playing the video game and leveling up.

Unfortunately, the premium Battle Pass costs 950 V-Bucks, meaning that free users have to save up for four seasons to purchase it. However, there is another way to earn free currency.

Epic Games releases special community battles that reward free V-Bucks from time to time. These community battles are mostly limited to certain regions, but some of them have granted more than 500 V-Bucks per player.

Finally, Epic sometimes sends gamers free V-Bucks due to server issues or class-action lawsuits. This doesn't happen often, but when it does, they can receive even 1,000 V-Bucks.

There are many V-Bucks giveaways all over the internet. Unfortunately, many of them are scams and can compromise your account, which is why players should avoid them. They should only participate in the giveaways made by reputable streamers and community members.

Lastly, Fortnite Founders can earn free V-Bucks from Save the World, the game's PvE mode. It is possible to earn up to 40,000 V-Bucks per year with the game mode, but the problem is that the Founder version is no longer available to purchase.
