Question 1

What time does the fortnite item shop change?

Accepted Answer

The Item Shop is an excellent place for players to get cosmetics in Fortnite. It is routinely filled with the best options the game has to offer. It also routinely changes them. At any given moment, there&rsquo;s a good chance of a few things: First, that there will be brand new skins that no one has purchased before and second, that there will be skins that weren&rsquo;t there the last time you logged in and checked the shop. This may seem random, but it&rsquo;s not. It functions on a cycle, so every rotation brings about a change in the Item Shop. These changes may include some holdovers from the previous day (this is true especially for collaborations) mixed with brand new items. When does that occur? The official reset time is at 00:00 UTC, which is effectively midnight. UTC is the local time zone to Greenwich, England, so that translates to 7:00 pm EST, 5:30 pm IST and 4:00 pm PST. At that time, the Item Shop resets. This means, if you happen to be online at the exact time it resets, that all the items currently in the shop will change. Some will remain but it will refresh and start the countdown over once again. From then, players have 24 hours to access the skins there and purchase them or other cosmetics. Once that cycle ends, there&rsquo;s no guarantee anything will remain present. Sometimes, they don&rsquo;t even return in the near future. Certain items that Fortnite has made have not been seen by anyone in the Item Shop for four years or more. As such, it is imperative to know a couple of things: Firstly, when the Item Shop resets, which is 7:00 pm EST. If you don&rsquo;t know that time, you might miss an entire cycle and not have the ability to purchase a skin you want. Secondly, it is imperative to know what&rsquo;s available. There are usually several sections in the shop, which means several options. It&rsquo;s best to check the entire thing to ensure you don&rsquo;t miss a rare cosmetic or something you really want.

Question 2

How do I contact Fortnite for a refund?

Accepted Answer

Players will often jump at the opportunity to purchase an item when they see it in the Item Shop. This is often done quickly and without a second thought. Players see a skin they like or a popular character they want and they rush through the confirmations and redeem their item(s). This can be a regrettable decision. It may be that the item isn&rsquo;t what they thought or they don&rsquo;t like it as much as they thought they did. It may also be that they see something in the Item Shop a week later that they&rsquo;d rather spend the V-Bucks on. Instead of purchasing the second item or being stuck with the one they don&rsquo;t like, Epic Games does offer refunds. Here&rsquo;s how to get a refund on an item purchased in the Item Shop: Open the Fortnite application. Navigate to Account and Privacy. Click Return or Cancel Purchase. Select the appropriate item from the available items. This list dates back 30 days and includes items purchased with V-Bucks. Click &ldquo;Submit Return Request Use Return Ticket&rdquo;. Select Yes. Please understand that this step cannot be undone. Once you click to continue, the refund will be processed, and you won't have the item anymore, but you will have the V-Bucks. Reap the rewards of your returned V-Bucks. Sometimes, refunds come from a refund ticket, of which players get three each 365 days. There are other times when Epic Games messes something up or changes a skin later and they offer a refund without a ticket. That&rsquo;s a rare occurrence and Epic Games will alert the appropriate players of the changes. If these don&rsquo;t solve the inquiry, players can always contact Epic through their website for more specific claims. They&rsquo;re a friendly developer and are always looking to help the community in any way they can. That often includes giving money back for things that were incorrectly purchased. It never hurts to inquire about the specific situation one might be in.

Question 3

Can you get more than 3 refunds on Fortnite?

Accepted Answer

Epic Games introduced Refund Tickets a long time ago. They have been a staple of the game for a long time after Epic realized that some players might have purchased items by mistake. Additionally, since Epic was recently sued by the FTC for predatory business practices, they&rsquo;re even more inclined to allow that to happen. Some players are even getting refunded for purchases made years ago if it falls under what the FTC deemed as inappropriate. Initially, players received three lifetime tickets that could be used to refund items. Those three refund tickets would last forever, but they also wouldn&rsquo;t renew. Once gamers used the three tickets they were given, that was the end of their refund history. However, the v18.20 update changed all of that. Now, Fortnite Refund Tickets can refresh every 365 days. Unfortunately, it&rsquo;s only one at a time. Once that 365 days is up, players can get one more refund ticket if they have space. It is currently impossible to hold more than three tickets at once, so in order to make sure one gets the extra that comes with the refresh, they&rsquo;d have to use one to clear space. A year is a long time to wait. It is, however, much shorter of a wait than eternity. Refund tickets are still a very rare commodity and since they can only be used on purchases that were made in the previous 30 days, it&rsquo;s important to be very wise. Nevertheless, the addition of a refreshing refund ticket system has been monumental for players and allows them to make more than three mistaken purchases in their gaming history. To use these refund tickets, you can visit your account settings. There, you will find the section for refund requests. That should then bring up the list of qualifying cosmetics. If you haven&rsquo;t made a purchase in the last month, you won&rsquo;t have anything available to refund. The refund request is almost always honored and the V-Bucks return to the account (and the cosmetics leave) almost instantaneously.

Question 4

Can I transfer my V-Bucks balance between different accounts?

Accepted Answer

V-Bucks are the most valuable commodity in Fortnite right now. They&rsquo;re the in-game currency and while they themselves have to be purchased, they&rsquo;re just a middle man for a player to own a new skin or cosmetic. When players want to buy a skin from the Item Shop or redeem the Battle Pass, they have to purchase V-Bucks- found in the in-game purchase tab. There are other ways to earn them, but the most common is through a standard purchase. This is often how players rack up huge totals of V-Bucks to their accounts. Can those V-Bucks then be gifted elsewhere? Unfortunately, the answer is no. Right now, Epic doesn&rsquo;t allow V-Bucks transfers for any reason. Even if the person is starting a new account and wants to give their V-Bucks to this new account, it&rsquo;s not possible. There&rsquo;s no way to move V-Bucks anywhere from one account, even to cancel a purchase and refund them is fairly difficult. In fact, it&rsquo;s not even possible to transfer anything from one account to another, whether it be a skin or V-Bucks. There are, however, ways to get around this. If you simply don&rsquo;t want your V-Bucks to go to waste, you can just spend them. These can go to new cosmetics and those are always fun to have. If you&rsquo;re moving to a new account and want the V-Bucks there, you can just gift whatever item the new account needs. Fortunately, almost anything can be gifted now- even the Battle Pass! This might not translate to an exact one-to-one transfer for the V-Bucks and it does require having access to an account until everything is done, but it is currently the best way to do it. Epic Games likely will never have a V-Bucks transfer option. It&rsquo;s too risky and could open up a lot of fraud possibilities. Nevertheless, there are good ways to get rid of V-Bucks or give them to another account without transferring them officially.

Question 5

Where to buy V-Bucks?

Accepted Answer

V-Bucks are one of the most important things in Fortnite: Battle Royale. Without them, players would largely be without Item Shop cosmetics and without the Battle Pass every season that allows them to earn awesome new cosmetics. To get these, there are a few options. Every once in a while, Epic Games gives V-Bucks to players for free. This is a very rare occurrence, though. Alternatively, there are 300 V-Bucks available for free on the Battle Pass for all members. There are a lot more available for those who purchase the pass- enough to continue buying Battle Passes in perpetuity. However, the most common method to acquire V-Bucks is by doing so in the game. Here are the steps: Open the Fortnite app. Log in to the appropriate account. Navigate to the V-Bucks tab. Choose the amount of V-Bucks you want. The lowest is 1,000. Select Purchase to go to your platform&rsquo;s check-out system. This is different on Xbox, PC, mobile, Nintendo Switch and etc. Enter your payment information and proceed. Additionally, there are ways to get codes for V-Bucks from retail stores. These codes can then be redeemed in Fortnite for the specified amount of V-Bucks. Here&rsquo;s how to do that: Go to the Epic Games website. Log in with the appropriate credentials. Make sure these are the same as the Fortnite account you play on actively. Enter the code found on the back of the purchased V-Bucks gift card. Follow the remaining instructions on the website to redeem your purchase. Open the Fortnite app. Log in. Receive the V-Bucks. V-Bucks are the main money-making method for Epic Games, so they&rsquo;ve made purchasing and redeeming them fairly simple and straightforward. Currently, those are the only two ways to purchase V-Bucks. Any third-party methods or other sellers cannot be trusted unless Epic Games says otherwise. Those are likely scams and will cost you money and not give you V-Bucks in all likelihood. In general, it&rsquo;s best not to use anything but official channels when purchasing anything for Fortnite.

Question 6

What is in the Fortnite Item Shop right now?

Accepted Answer

To know what is in the Fortnite Item Shop right, you will have to visit the Item Shop. Since cosmetics rotate on a daily basis, it is hard to predict what Epic Games will feature next. As such, the cosmetic types could be different everyday. While a few of them are featured on a long term, others mostly rotate in and out within a 24 hour cycle.

Question 7

Is Fortnite Item Shop random?

Accepted Answer

While the Fortnite Item Shop is not entirely random, it is difficult to predict the Item Shop for tomorrow. In fact, until it rotates, it is even impossible to predict the Item Shop today. While there are Fortnite Item Shop leaks, they are subject to change based on Epic Games discretion.

Question 8

How many Fortnite skins are there?

Accepted Answer

While the exact number is hard to say, there are nearly 1,800 skins in total. Most of these can be purchased via the Fortnite Item Shop, but many are exclusive to Battle Passes, Crew, and other means. Some skins have been permanently vaulted while others have been blacklisted as well due to social-political reasons. That said, the number of skins in Fortnite is expected to grow over the coming years. This is because new skins are added to the Item Shop on a regular basis.
