In Save the World

Prior to Update v9.40, V-Bucks were used and gained in Save the World in a multitude of different ways. V-Bucks were given as Daily Rewards, for Storm Shield Defenses and as rewards for completion of the Collection Book, and they could be used to purchase Llama Pinatas and reclaim items from the Collection Book. After v9.40, only owners of the Founder's Edition of Fortnite are able to gain and spend V-bucks in Save the World. For new players, they were replaced by X-Ray Tickets, which have the same function, but cannot be spent in Battle Royale.

Battle Royale

V-Bucks in Battle Royale have two uses: To purchase cosmetic items from the Item Shop, and to purchase the Battle Pass, alongside purchases in relation to it. Item Shop purchases will have a set price for each item or bundle, in which the player can spend their V-Bucks to obtain an item. The Battle Pass always costs 950 V-Bucks, and will award the player with 1,500 V-Bucks upon full completion (or completion to the last level / tier where V-Bucks can be obtained). The Free version of the Battle Pass will also grant 300 V-Bucks per season, if completed to the necessary level / tier. Players can purchase tiers or Battle Stars for 150 V-Bucks to advance in the Battle Pass quickly. Players can also purchase a bundle of 25 Levels on purchase of the Battle Pass, and late in the season can purchase advancement bundles which further advance the player several levels / tiers, with a discounted price. Players cannot purchase levels beyond level 100.

In Both Modes

V-Bucks can be purchased in each mode, but some cosmetic items grant the player a set of challenges to unlock V-Bucks, at a discounted price. Packs such as The Diamond Diva Pack grant immediate V-Bucks, but sets such as The Metal Team Leader pack required completion of Challenges, alongside access to Save the World.

Obtaining V-Bucks

V-Bucks are Obtained via the following methods, and only the following methods. Other methods not listed are likely fraudulent, and should be reported to Epic Games:

Using real world currency

Purchasing V-Bucks via the Item Shop, up to 13,500 V-Bucks can be purchased at once.
Claiming a V-Buck card from a retailer allows for the redemption of up to 13,500 V-Bucks.
Purchasing a Starter Pack allows the player to obtain a differing amount of V-Bucks depending on Price. Packs may require challenges to obtain all rewards.
A Fortnite Crew subscription grants 1,000 V-Bucks per month, as well as 950 V-Bucks per season, if the player has already purchased the Battle-Pass. If the Pass is not purchased, the player will instead receive access to it.

Save the World

The Following only apply to Founder's Edition Owners:

Daily Challenges grant 50, 60 or even 100 V-Bucks per day, with the player being able to 'hold' three challenges at once. Players can refresh one challenge per day, this resets the challenge's progress, but may grant an easier to complete challenge, or one that grants more V-Bucks.
Mission Alerts may provide players with a small amount of V-Bucks upon successful completion of said mission.
Completing Storm Shield Defenses will grant 100 V-Bucks each, with increments of 5 Shield Completions granting an extra 100.
When adding items to the collection book, rewards received for multiple entries can be V-Bucks.
Daily Rewards can grant up to 1,000 V-Bucks, with a minimum of 100.
Founder's Daily Rewards will grant V-Bucks, but these rewards will run out in a couple of days and are not sustainable.

Battle Royale

Players receive 300 V-Bucks per season by completing the required amount of the Free Battle Pass.
Players who have purchased the Battle Pass can gain 1,500 V-Bucks per season by completing the required amount of the Battle Pass.
Players can refund three cosmetics (or Bundles) per account. These will return the V-Bucks to the player. Players can also cancel a purchase and regain spent V-Bucks shortly after purchasing an item.
Purchasing an item which has been mistakenly added to the Item Shop will result in a refund.
Items which are removed from the Item Shop, removed from the game itself, or are advertised incorrectly, will likely be refunded to all players who purchased them. They may also receive additional compensation.

Other

Server Outages or issues relating to specific consoles may result in V-Buck compensation.
When a Support a Creator code is discontinued, the owner of the code can choose to have their balance redeemed in real money or V-Bucks. Choosing the latter is the only current way to receive V-Bucks in increments of anything other than 5 or 10.
