Fortnite is giving away the Focus skin for 500 V-Bucks, but there's a twist

The Focus Skin/Outfit, which generally costs 1,200 V-Bucks in Fortnite, can now be obtained for 500 V-Bucks. In addition to this interesting Outfit, players will also be able to obtain two more cosmetic items in the game at no additional cost.

While this may seem too good to be true, or absolute sorcery at best, it's completely real and the offer will only remain valid for a few days. However, it should be noted that there's a catch to this as only certain players will be eligible to redeem the offer.

How to get the Focus Skin/Outfit for 500 V-Bucks in Fortnite

For those thinking that there's a secret method or some trick being used to get the Skin/Outfit for 500 V-bucks, there's nothing of the sort. Basically, it has to do with an event that took place back in December of 2022 called Reboot Rally.

Newcomers to the battle royale title might be asking, "What is a Reboot Rally?" These are special events held at certain times of the year that players can take part in. They will have to complete Challenges to score points and then receive cosmetic items.

Coming back to the topic at hand, in the Reboot Rally Event that occurred at the start of Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1, the Vision Board (Glider) and Controlled Focus (Wrap) were up for grabs. Interestingly, they just happen to be part of the Focal Point Set as well.

This set includes Focus (Outfit), Vision Board (Glider), Controlled Focus (Wrap), Fixation (Harvesting Tool), and Chuck Pack (Back Bling). Since bundles in the Item Shop are sold at a discounted price, the Focal Point Bundle, which costs 2,000 V-Bucks, can be obtained for 500 V-Bucks.

However, this only applies to those who already own the Vision Board (Glider) and Controlled Focus (Wrap). For those who didn't or couldn't take part in the Reboot Rally in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1, they won't be eligible for this discount. For them, the Item Shop will display the Focal Point Set being valued at 2,000 V-Bucks.

Is there a way to obtain the Vision Board (Glider) and Controlled Focus (Wrap) for free to get the discount?

Unfortunately, the only way to obtain the Vision Board (Glider) and Controlled Focus (Wrap) is to buy them from the Item Shop. Since Reboot Rally Events are time-limited, once they end, the freebies associated with them will be added to the Item Shop and will cost you V-Bucks. It's unlikely that these will ever be made available for free again.

That being said, for those who missed out on the Reboot Rally Event but still want the Focus Skin/Outfit, they will have to buy it at full price from the Item Shop. Although this sounds disheartening, there's nothing that can be done about it. On that note, remember to participate in all upcoming Reboot Rally Events to become eligible for more offers like this in the near future.
