Fortnite players claim Epic randomly gifted them old skins & V-Bucks Epic GamesFortnite players claim they loaded up the game and discovered Epic had given them old skins and V-Bucks for free despite not having played in the season those rewards came out. This wouldn\u2019t be the first time Epic Games has randomly given out forgotten-about skins and other cosmetic items from previous seasons. In November of last year, an OG Fortnite player revealed they had randomly received various rare Chapter 1 skins after starting up Fortnite years later. Now, a similar situation has happened in Chapter 5 Season 3 according to some Fortnite players on Reddit, with multiple players reporting they were given rewards for challenges from several seasons ago. One player asked: \u201cDid anyone else just get this skin for no reason? I thought it was gone a long time ago.\u201d Their accompanying screenshot showed they had received the Underworld Desdemona skin, which was a reward from the expired Coldest Circles Quests in Chapter 4 Season 2. \u201cThe ability to purchase it was limited time. The challenges stayed until you finished them,\u201d a player responded. However, the OP soon shut this down: \u201cYeah, but I didn\u2019t even play the game when the skin came out that\u2019s why I\u2019m confused.\u201d \u201cI got this skin for free a while ago as well. Dunno why. I think it was cause I came back to the game after a long break. I don\u2019t personally like the skin so there\u2019s zero chance I bought it,\u201d another stated. Meanwhile, another player claims they were been gifted 200 V-Bucks from Epic on the same day. \u201cCongratulations! You earned 200 V-bucks from all your hard work!\u201d Among the sea of jokes from the community regarding the V-Bucks that it was literally because of their \u201chard work,\u201d many players suggested different reasons for how this could have happened. \u201cEither a Lobby Track got converted into a free jam track, you bought something that Epic reduced the price of and they gave you back the difference, or you genuinely just randomly got it,\u201d one player speculated. Another suggested: \u201cOr maybe if you owned Rap Boy? But I owned Rap Boy and got nothing so I don\u2019t know.\u201d Epic revealed the Eminem skin was removed from several Lockers a few days prior due to a bug. Others pointed out the Silver Shield emblem meant it related to old unclaimed free Battle Pass tier rewards. \u201cThat\u2019s a free Battle Pass symbol on the left side, did you leave two sets of V-Bucks you could\u2019ve claimed but didn\u2019t last season and this is your first time logging in this season?\u201d In regards to the explanations, a player echoed the thoughts of many: \u201cIt would be great if Epic Games were better at communicating with us. Preferably something more than \u2018all your hard work.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
