Fortnite Players Upset About Earning V-Bucks in Battle Pass

The Battle Pass lets you unlock cool skins and items as you play.

It used to give you enough V-Bucks to buy the next season's Battle Pass.

[{"selector":"#anim-511c4268-f09d-4b7e-948c-49528f053461","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-35d34955-8fc8-43b4-a24c-586c6ddc6c7d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-116.66667%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Now, it's much harder to earn enough V-Bucks in the Battle Pass to buy the next one.

[{"selector":"#anim-322018e4-7b90-42d4-bd5a-d69858f29e51","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b60884b8-1b7d-462f-9f5a-6a364a186203","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-116.99347%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Players need to reach a very high level (141) to get all the V-Bucks back.

[{"selector":"#anim-bbf4e9f8-964d-4ed7-a5d1-736bdc9e8f93","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-88511885-901b-4ab2-bc52-9faec294853d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-116.99347%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

This feels unfair to some players. They feel like they have to spend more real money to keep getting cool stuff.

[{"selector":"#anim-f9ae6f3c-279d-46bb-bac9-e1f04ff3ec24","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c76d7123-572b-47b9-8127-84cc9ae1b457","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-117.64707%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Players want Fortnite to make it easier to earn enough V-Bucks in the Battle Pass to buy the next one, or at least give them more V-Bucks overall.

[{"selector":"#anim-e6e7c941-d1bd-48f6-b6d4-7f87065dca08","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6258fc9c-0d22-4d94-af3e-abf05c4af5d1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-116.99347%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

This is a fancy way of saying that Fortnite is making it difficult to get enough V-Bucks for free.

[{"selector":"#anim-2ddfe910-df66-49b1-beb4-bfd5dbdd933a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ca8fa423-2fab-4b6b-ba26-e29f4878502a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-116.99347%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Players feel like they're being blocked from getting cool items without spending real money.

[{"selector":"#anim-8df0b9e8-f8ab-4fd2-8b92-3eaac5e41d5d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7818eaf7-9b58-4c60-8fed-a1ae052eee74","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-116.99347%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
