What is a Battle Pass?

In a Battle Pass, you’ll find 100 different Fortnite rewards. There are cosmetic items like skins, weapons and animations, but also V-Bucks. Every Fortnite season, a new Battle Pass will be released. Players can unlock items in the pass by leveling up throughout the season.

How much does the Fortnite Battle Pass cost?

In order to buy a Battle Pass, you need to purchase V-Bucks first. For a Battle Pass you need 950 V-Bucks, which is incomparable to about £6,60.

How much V-Bucks does a Battle Pass cost?

You need 950 V-Bucks to buy a Battle Pass. The denomination that comes closest to that amount, is our 1000 Fortnite V-Bucks card, which costs £6,99. 

How much V-Bucks do I get with a Battle Pass? 

Investing in a Battle Pass is a great idea, since you can earn more V-Bucks back! With the Battle Pass you can earn up to 1500 V-Bucks. So, when you buy a 1000 V-Bucks card, and you pay 950 V-Bucks for a Battle Pass, you’ll actually end up gaining 550 V-Bucks. Now that’s a bang for your buck!
