V-Bucks are always handy to have in Fortnite. Whether you want to use them to get your hands on a brand-new weapon, an interesting Glider, or some emotes, they are the easiest way to pick up new cosmetics to enjoy in the Battle Royale. While you can purchase V-Bucks for real-world money, codes can occasionally be redeemed that can provide you with the currency for free.
As of April , 2025, there are no active V-Bucks codes — which has been the case for quite some time now — but this page will be updated as soon as any working codes show up.
Free codes in Fortnite are (very) occasionally released in bunches, but instead of V-Bucks, most of them give out emotes, free Fortnite skins, or any of the game’s various cosmetics .
Note: Be wary of searching for free codes online, as there are a lot of potential scams out there.]
Epic Games does not just throw V-Bucks at players. Usually, if you want them, you gotta buy them. Fortnite has given away V-Bucks before, but only when something went wrong – like server outages, messed-up purchases, or legal settlements. Otherwise, don’t count on it.
A player who purchased the Rap Boy Reloaded Outfit and the Air Jordan 3 SE Unite Kicks got a surprise: 1,000 V-Bucks.
Not because Fortnite is feeling generous, but because they shouldn’t have needed to buy the shoes. The outfit already comes with them. Epic’s system detected the redundant purchase and refunded the cost in V-Bucks.

How much do V-Bucks cost?
V-Bucks in Fortnite can be purchased with real money. In USD, one V-Buck is equivalent to around $0.0079900. However, the total price may change depending on how many you buy at once. For example, 1000 V-Bucks will cost you $8.99 / €8.99.

What can you spend V-Bucks on?
The Spider-Woman 6-item bundle was released into the Item Shop during Fortnitemares 2025.
While the most popular use for V-Bucks is for buying character skins, that’s not all they’re used for. Players can also grab exclusive pickaxes, weapon wraps, and brand-new emotes with these elusive coins.
On top of that, they are also used to purchase this season’s Battle Pass. Each pass costs 950 V-Bucks but provides a treasure trove of new and exclusive content that you can’t unlock elsewhere in the game.
Remember that you can also use a Refund Request to get V-Bucks back for unwanted skin or cosmetics within 30 days of purchasing. Each player gets three a year, so make sure to use them carefully.
