Fortnite: Spend Gold Bars in different matches

Gold Bars are an in-game currency in Fortnite, introduced to enhance gameplay and add a layer of strategy and versatility to the experience. Since their introduction, they have served as the key to hiring NPCs, upgrading your arsenal, and obtaining better, more powerful items that can give you a competitive edge against your foes.

That being said, you will have to spend some Gold Bars as part of the "This Season" challenge for Week 9 in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4. It requires you to spend Gold Bars across five different matches. Since the challenge utilizes the hard-earned in-game currency and spans several matches, the payout in experience points is also quite high with 35,000 XP.
