Topic: Codes - Fortnite

Hi,

I'm hoping that somebody can help me.

I am a complete novice when it comes to Fortnite and my 6 year old son had a switch with Fortnite for Xmas.

He is telling me tonight albeit explaining really poorly that you can get 'codes' to receive V-Bucks or weapons.

Does anyone know anything about this and how it works?

Many thanks.

@Conks01 Hopefully someone that knows fortnite better can Help. But, here's what I found. If you know this, you can disregard.

-How did you get fortnight? Even though it's a download only game, stores have sold Fortnite cases that have a redeem code inside for a weapons & skins pack. Or Switch console Fortnite bundles advertise 1000 v-bucks on the box, like in the amazon link.

Maybe you're eligible for some sort of weapons & skins pack. And you need to use a code your kid already knows about?

As you may know, Epic Games makes Fortnight. They've got a page saying make an account so you can redeem your code. Maybe you've already done this.

IGN explains how to earn free v-bucks via game progress.

@Conks01 By "codes", he must be referring to Fortnite V-bucks cards you can get at places like Wal-Mart or Gamestop. V-bucks are the currency used to buy skins, dances, harvesting tools, and other cosmetics in the item shop (there's no purchasable weapons, but wraps to design them). V-bucks can also be purchased on the eShop as well (along with other bundles they currently have).
