V-Bucks are the currency we use in Fortnite to buy all kinds of cosmetic items and purchase special packs and battle passes.
The name V-Bucks is an abstract concept, as it is nothing more than the name given to the virtual currency of the game; a currency that does not exist physically and that we can only use to buy products in Fortnite.
What are V-Bucks used for?
Most of the costumes and other add-ons we can purchase in Fortnite can only be bought with V-Bucks. That is, it is not possible to buy them directly with real money, first, we have to buy the V-Bucks with dollars, and then, buy for example a skin with those V-Bucks.
Different accessories in Fortnite’s store
With V-Bucks, we can buy the following things in Fortnite:
- Complements (skins, dances, graffiti, and others)
- Battle Pass
- Battle pass leveling up
- Some packs of complements
On the downside, there are things you cannot buy with V-Bucks:
- V-Bucks
- Some packs of complements
- Subscription to Fortnite Crew

We must take into account a very important detail, and it is that if we play on Nintendo or PlayStation, we must buy the V-Bucks in its digital platform (Nintendo eShop or PlayStation Store) because the V-Bucks that we buy in Epic Games Store would not appear reflected in these platforms, and vice versa.
On the other hand, there are also ways to get V-Bucks without spending money, by achieving certain objectives in the game, or by taking advantage of some opportunities. To learn about all these ways, we recommend you to read our article on how to get free V-Bucks in Fortnite.
