Why some Fortnite players are getting up to 500 V-bucks for free

An error on Epic Games' end is forcing the developers to hand out up to 500 V-bucks to players for free. Sadly, as always, there is a catch.

As part of the ongoing Fortnitemares 2021 event, Epic has released the Graveyard Drift Quest Pack for $15.99. Players can complete certain quests after purchasing the Graveyard Drift pack and earn up to 2,000 V-bucks for free. Unfortunately, due to an issue, these quests only rewarded players with 1,500 V-bucks.

Fortnite's error is giving away 500 V-bucks to players for free

Since players were promised 2,000 free V-bucks, they were certainly upset when Epic Games shortchanged them by 500 V-bucks. Fortunately, Epic did realize the mistake on its end and promised to reimburse the players.

Players can find the official tweet on Fortnite Status' account, which states that 500 V-bucks will be credited to their account if they have already completed all the quests.

For those who haven't yet completed the challenges, a visual error might display the wrong amount of V-bucks. However, players will be given the correct amount after completion of all the challenges.

In a way, players are certainly getting up to 500 free V-bucks in Fortnite. However, the pre-requisite to getting this free reward is that players will have to purchase the Graveyard Drift Quest Pack.
