Epic today awarded 500 V-Bucks in compensation for one of the bugs of the incorrect price display.
Epic has confirmed that there was a bug associated with one of the packs in Fortnite. We are referring to the Saint Academy Quest Pack.
There was a visual error in the game that affected the displayed amount of V-Dollars that could be obtained from special challenges. All buyers saw there were 1,500 V-Bucks, even though Epic actually meant 1,000 V-Bucks.
500 V-Bucks
As a result, Epic has not only fixed the bug, but also granted players free 500 V-Bucks as compensation. So if you come across titles like “free V-Bucks” from YouTubers, it’s likely to be about this.
This is not a glitch, exploit, or any secret way. If you bought this package, you will get V-Bucks, if not, the amount of V-Bucks will remain exactly the same in your accounts. This is only about people who have been affected in any way by this bug.
Awarding V-Bucks may take a while, so it is worth waiting at least that extra 24 hours. However, if you have not been compensated within 24 hours, feel free to write to support.
