No. You only need V-Bucks if you want to purchase in-game items, like outfits or emotes. These items do not give any competitive advantage and are all purely cosmetic.
Do I need a Battle Pass to play Fortnite?
No. The Battle Pass is not necessary to play Fortnite. But it comes with a lot of perks and extras that make it worthwhile! Such as unlocking new outfits and items and earning up to 1500 extra V-Bucks just by playing. You can get your Battle Pass for only 950 V-Bucks!
