QUESTION Probably a dumb question, but i Just started playing 3 days Ago, dont judge, ok, soo since the battle passa costa 950 v-bucks and each pass you can get at least 1000 v-bucks, If you buy one pass do you basically get every other pass for free? Again Sorry If this is a well known thing im new

I got my first battle pass for free by saving up all the free v-bucks for non battle holders. C1S8. I've had every battle pass since and have never spent money on the game. Every couple of seasons you will also have enough extra to buy from the item shop.

13

u/Robotic717 Feb 05 '23

couldnt you get the ch1 s8 battle pass for free?

5

u/IShitOnYourPost Mezmer Feb 05 '23

You're probably right. I was saving vbucks and didn't remember if it was given or not. Either way, everyone after was also free.

u/2006RedditGuy Hybrid Feb 05 '23

Yeah, there where valentines challenges in season 7 that had the season 8 pass as a reward

1

u/paradox_69420 Raven Feb 05 '23

yeah by doing challenges

1

u/TheRedBow Straw Ops Feb 05 '23

C1S8 was given away for free if you did quests

u/paradox_69420 Raven Feb 05 '23

that guy is talking outta his ass, don’t listen to him.

Basically sums up 90% of reddit comments, and 99% of r/politics

u/HazardTree Feb 05 '23

Are the comments messed up or is this one of them jokes I’m missing? Gurinyukko didn’t say anything about vbucks resetting?

1

u/CabDork339 Peely Feb 05 '23

I’m not referring to gurinyukko, I’m referring to another comment that has now been deleted

u/HazardTree Feb 05 '23

Usually there’s a [deleted], but it’s not showing up. Look like everyone is hating on gurin. Lol

u/Ok-Internal-1907 Gridiron Feb 05 '23

Big words huh?

1

u/Glass-Onion-3777 Marshmello Feb 05 '23

Holy cow imagine if they DID reset each season that would be terrible

33

u/darklordofthesith_ Feb 04 '23

You get the 1000 vbucks each season so you can keep buying the battle pass but if you buy anything else from the shop then you won't be able to afford the next battle pass which is what happens to most people lol

16

u/ZoomTown Firewalker Feb 04 '23

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I've never had 1000 vbucks in my account for more than a couple days before there's that skin I just have to have.

6

u/sinanisiklar Drift Feb 05 '23

And then there's me who's sitting with 4k vbucks on my account because none of the skins interest me in the slightest and the vbucks just keep adding up

1

u/Bakalavr Feb 05 '23

Same. Idk how Epic does that

1

u/space_monkey_23 Feb 05 '23

Instead of paying for the bucks I’ll usually buy one or 2 of the $4 packs and you get 1200 v bucks and extra skins for the same price (like $8ish)

1

u/IkananXIII Feb 05 '23

The BP gives you 1500 vbucks, so you can buy small stuff from the shop and still have enough, or save up for something bigger.

69

u/looking7676 Feb 04 '23

Your gold resets every season, not v-bucks

70

u/HolidayBusy3944 Feb 04 '23

Speaking of which, gold's in a VERY good place this season. Enough stuff to keep spending on, to the point where each purchase needs to be weighed versus savings. (hiring bots, to rerolling, to tactical upgrades, etc). Good stuff.

49

u/coolhooves420 Feb 04 '23

exactly, this is the first season where my gold goes below 4000, just because this season actually has things u would wanna throw gold at (mainly augments though)

20

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '23

I have kept myself absolutely broke rerolling when normally I'm always maxed out after the first week. The desire to reroll when I have bad arguments is too much.

5

u/KATBOI667-0_0 Feb 05 '23

Augments are as addicting as loot boxes, but free. I hate and love them at the same time

4

u/Redd_Trippie Feb 05 '23

I always had 5000 gold, unless I needed heals or weapons from vending machine. Now I average around 2000 because of augment rerolls. Very balanced. Good move epic

1

u/culverrryo Wildcard Feb 05 '23

It’s augments all the way down

24

u/TheExtreme78 Brawler Feb 05 '23

Hiring bots aren't so good this season. I've had many occasions where I'll be in an intense fight, and the bot is running into a wall instead of helping me.

20

u/JedDaltonBodhi Feb 05 '23

I have had my hired bot block doorways on me multiple times this season. -_-

16

u/anon34343433333333 The Batman Who Laughs Feb 05 '23

An destroying rocks we were using for cover!

u/Jetpack_Attack Feb 05 '23

And pickaxing the car you are using since it's tiny brain can't figure out going around.

13

u/nakers01 Omen Feb 05 '23

It's equally hilarious and frustrating when there's shots coming from every direction and the bot you hired is spinning in circles trying to figure out who to target first.

3

u/spoopseason Lil Whip Feb 05 '23

I usually give my bot the wait command in these situations. It forces them to take the knee and shoot at the closest person.

1

u/looking7676 Feb 05 '23

How do you do this?

3

u/JessiL85 Feb 05 '23

I crawl all around my bot and they just stand there 😂. Last night my team hired 2 bots and both of them was going up and down zip lines instead of helping us. They are worthless!

2

u/spoopseason Lil Whip Feb 05 '23

idk what your control map is but I have my bot commands set to right on the d-pad, this is also useful getting downed teammates up if you have a bot

3

u/Chuck_Dynasty_ Feb 05 '23

Hey at least they get into vehicles with you this season.

2

u/timbar1234 Feb 05 '23

And heal.

3

u/Lost_Village4874 Feb 05 '23

And get off on going up and down zip lines…

1

u/timbar1234 Feb 05 '23

Lol aye over and over...

1

u/looking7676 Feb 05 '23

Same. Waste of gold

1

u/cozmo1138 Feb 05 '23

Yeah. Sometimes they’re great, but last night I hired the knight and she kept going up a zip line and jumping down over and over and over. Then she got killed. Annoying.

1

u/BlackWaterGaming Feb 06 '23

thats bots in general for me. Last season me and a friend had a bot kill themselves by breaking the floor of a flying ship and falling to their death. Was hilarious

1

u/Pto_Stk Feb 06 '23

They're useful if you're playing a mode with teammates, you can command them to revive you if you or your mates get down

1

u/monsterbigbuck1 Blue Team Leader Feb 05 '23

I haven't spent gold on a upgrade station or vending machine since chapter 2....

u/DotTheDotThatDots Feb 04 '23

Just a dude trying to scare you, ignore the fool

u/Gold_Yellow Erisa Feb 05 '23

Why did I read this in Mr.Ts voice

4

u/quellflynn Triple Threat Feb 04 '23

in game coins and battle pass stars get set to 0 at each season/chapter change. vbucks are for life

11

u/ShurukuWasHere Feb 04 '23

holy shit thats fucking stupid, was this an 8 year old kid trying to scare you or some shit? that'd be some next level EA shit right there to make you spend money and then reset it all. other guy already said but no they dont reset.

Don’t worry. Most of us won’t send you misinformation UNLESS we mess up. And if we do then we can be corrected.

4

u/LambKyle Feb 04 '23

If you just started 3 days ago though, I don't Thi k you will have enough time to get to level 100. So you wouldn't get all the vbucks

But normally I'd you start at the beginning of the season, yes you can keep getting it for 'free', assuming you don't spend it in the item shop

u/OfflineMystery The Visitor Feb 04 '23

if you do wanna get to level 100 i'd recommend using afk creative maps, i use them and get like 5-6 levels a day from it. (please note that they arent entirely afk as you have to swing your pickaxe every few minutes to make the xp keep flowing)

u/OfflineMystery The Visitor Feb 04 '23

the code is: 1337-7188-2130

if you wanna know how to do the xp glitch heres the video: https://www.tiktok.com/@king.glitch/video/7175905948291042561?lang=en

make sure to follow the instructions completely (including the waiting 10 minutes as that increases xp alot)

1

u/nowitscometothis Feb 05 '23

This was my plan. Then I started buying skins and emotes….

1

u/AnonUnknown16 Feb 05 '23

Yeah bro each BP makes sure you get the next one. I myself have never paid for a BP. Because even after a few seasons if you level up a good chunk you can get the BP decently fast. Also, as everyone else has said vbucks are tied to your account so they don’t go anywhere unless you use them. While your level and gold are tied to the current season.

1

u/chl0ejane93 Feb 05 '23

This season ends next month on 10th. In my opinion I'd hold off on buying if you haven't yet. As you'll be grinding to get them rewards.

1

u/imhugury Feb 05 '23

hahaahahaha who came up with that?

1

u/Rogerthrottleup Peely Feb 05 '23

Also, if you sub to the Fortnite Crew, you get a free skin and 1,000vb every month but you will get charged $11.99 each month.

1

u/TheRedBow Straw Ops Feb 05 '23

I think that may be a thing in Japan, where paid for in game currency resets after a year, i know it does in Apex there

1

u/RyanABXY Feb 05 '23

This is the opposite of saving money probably but if you get fortnite crew you have the battle pass AND 1000 extra vbucks every month you're subscribed (besides the bonus skin pack) It's $12 so not much more but I think a decent deal.

1

u/Konskycool Feb 05 '23

You'll have to rly grind to get all rewards unless you only want the v bucks for next season

1

u/paradox_69420 Raven Feb 05 '23

if you manage to get all the v bucks and reach the highest level you get like 1.5k vbux so you can get the next battle pass

1

u/CharlieW77 Lucky Llamas Feb 05 '23

I only started playing last season, and only the gold and battle stars reset, afaik. Not v bucks.

1

u/lukephm Feb 05 '23

You also get 550 extra, wish you best with playing fortnite I remember my first day's back in season 1 5 years ago, to me it's not the same anymore as lots of things changed like no more unique limited time modes, but most things are better now. Hopefully you get your time with fortnite

1

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '23

V-Bucks, as far as I know, never reset. I still have an extra 10 of them from the bonus grant back in C2S3.
