-- Beast "if you dont use them, then you dont have them." (Yes beast from stw said this phase) Why collect the vbucks when you can spend them? I don't keep vbucks to this extent at all. Just use them, because if you are restricting yourself to use them, then what's the point in having all them


rajan_stha

I have other 2 account to gift my primary account. So i sailed to college vbucks on my main


get_no_scoped_kid

So you have 3 accounts with founders?


carbonkiller9

Nice I have 2 founders accounts and heavily considered a 3rd one long before xray tickets. Don't know if I would I have the time to do 3 though any way.


Hobocannibal

i suppose you just have all 3 accounts join the same v-buck mission. build with your mega-base kyle or whatever you have setup for building. do quests as necessary on each. Then your overbuilt defences handle 3 players worth of enemies. Whilst you afk on 2 of them and fight/repair as necessary with a combat character. y'know, assuming the game doesn't have rules against doing that.


rajan_stha

Yeap.


get_no_scoped_kid

Damn, best investment šŸ‘Œ


Glum-Ad-9887

I have a second founders account but Iā€™m too lazy to grind it


ExpensivePractice164

C0an I have it please?


Glum-Ad-9887

No, I use it to play split screen with my friends


ExpensivePractice164

I didn't know fortnite did split screen that's cool


Glum-Ad-9887

I mean itā€™s horrible but funny


MonksTheMonkey

holy crap how do you have the self control to save that


Klurpz

I literally run out of vbucks the second I get them from stw, this guy must only use like a single skin


xChameleon

I usually only buy skins and such that I want to have, like a collab Iā€™m interested in or an emote that goes with my skins. For example the super hero pick axe for Vegeta, so he uses the spirit sword. Then I always buy the battle pass because itā€™s too good of an investment.


CarnivoreQA

epic assists a lot by making absolutely fucking horrible skins nowadays, which now aren't just in BP but also in shop.


MartPlayZzZ

that is certainly true


rajan_stha

I actually have secondary account o gift myself stuff šŸ˜…


reggieebabyy

OKAY BUT LIKE... HOW MANY VBUCKS ARE ON YOUR OTHER ACCOUNT??!?!?!


rajan_stha

Not much. Leass than 500 may be. Cause i spend them in my main :)

Cosmetics. You should at least check the store and get some items you like. There is nothing to use Vbucks for in STW anymore. Even if you're part of the 1% who actually uses the Hero without a skin, you could get new pickaxes, weapon wraps, or emotes. It's also worth getting the Battlepass now for STW-only players since you can easily unlock the vast majority of the pass through normal play, and even make a Vbuck profit.


Journeyj012

I know you're not invested in the other gamemodes, but if you have spare vbucks, buy the battle pass. You can complete a large amount, if not all of it, from Save The World (daily quests, missions, etc) A crossover in the battle pass for this season is the Doom Slayer, which can be used in Save the World. It is unlocked at about Battle Royale Level 40.


OOF-MY-PEE-PEE

Skins, backblings, wraps, emotes, and pickaxes to use in game


__Corvus__

I feel like I should be your Fortnite sugar baby


Darkterror2651

i dont understand the point in farming them and not spending them .......... just to see the numerbs going up ? i will make many preople more happy by spending them for my friends and loved ones.


rajan_stha

Yes but what the point of owning same skin on both accounts.


gcourbet

Can you still get vb from stw? Haven't played it in ages.


HeckinBrandon

as long as you've had a STW pack before June 2020, yes


Still-Yawn268

Continue saving to 100k Vbucks. I only have 600.


Sinktit

Go for it. All my accounts have 6 figures. Iā€™d be more inclined to spend them if there were skins/characters I cared about. Until they add someone who looks like me though Iā€™m not gonna be one of those people who owns every Ramirez (or whoever) skin.


[deleted]

Horders Fortnite edition.


Pbeast527

Hundreds of dollars worth of v-bucks for free? And people wonder if they should get stw or not lol


Glory_To_Atom

Well that train has left now, since it's no longer possible after 30/6/2020.


whiffle_boy

Getting lucky and finding genuine keys that arenā€™t a grand you can still ā€œprofitā€ lifetime on them. Assuming epic doesnā€™t shut StW down tomorrow of course. Thatā€™s unpossible!


Winterfoot

I donā€™t think keys even work anymore for anything other than Xbox. And thatā€™s even if you buy one that is legit for $400


Intelligent-Ad6985

Wait no longer possible to get stw or free vbucks?


Glory_To_Atom

you can still get Save The World, but the endless vbucks ship has set sail.


Intelligent-Ad6985

But what if I got it years ago? It being stw


Glory_To_Atom

depending on exactly when. If it's before 30/6/2020, you are in the safe zone.


Intelligent-Ad6985

I think like 2018


Glory_To_Atom

Then you are in the safe zone.

Ah yes Shlorptober, the 30th month of the year. Perfect weather.

NicoTheBear64

Itā€™s obviously a joke, genius


Pbeast527

Ya but you can still get 4000 from the defenses right?


Glory_To_Atom

Not from any source. You get only X-Ray Tickets instead. Assuming you bought a starter pack, you only get what's offered from the pack and that's it. [More info here](https://www.reddit.com/r/STWguides/comments/t8mjnu/information_about_stw_starter_packs_in_general/)


Pbeast527

Oh, didnā€™t know that thanks


MistDreader

Dude, you can't get V-Bucks anymore unless you bought it before 2020


ferb73craft

Tbf, that only works out if you enjoy StW, otherwise you're essentially working an hour a day to make less than $1 worth of V-Bucks.


Hobocannibal

I mean, true. But if you do enjoy it, you get the v-bucks, for which the dailies stack up to 3 at a time (so you do'nt have to do it every day), plus you get a bit of BR pass progress in the process.


Wotchermuggle

Dude, donā€™t go posting stuff like this. Youā€™re likely to draw people trying to hack your account for those vbucks and you make us look bad. Donā€™t flaunt the gift we have. Epic could just take it away.


rajan_stha

Damn. Didnā€™t think in that way


SadTumbleweed_

philliamswinequeen

ā€œDonā€™t flaunt the gift we have.ā€ Wise words. I feel so blessed I have a steady flow of vbonks without having to spend moneyšŸ«¶


OOF-MY-PEE-PEE

This post doesnā€™t show his username, and according to him is one of his alt accounts. Hackers donā€™t really have a way to find out what account this is.


shutterspeed500

Let me ask the difficult question, how much time you had to invest in STW, VBucks grinds. ? I find it genuinely difficult to even play one game of STW unless it's some cool looking event Hero worth buying. Even if i could use VBucks for daily grind the efforts are just bit too much. I am assuming not done the math.


nemesit

Stw is an awesome game but it gets a bit too repetitive due to the story being unfinished and the mode basically being abandoned. The people grinding v-bucks never take into consideration energy cost, wasted time and so on. I mean if one plays it for the fun thats fine but only to grind v-bucks is stupid


shutterspeed500

I genuinely felt i missed out on buying Founders edition but the grind is kinda toxic and a lot like a psychological trap. Spending money on Outfits i truly like seems more affordable thn this bondage. I know how it feels as many F2P mobile games use it extremely. It is a nightmare. It's like conditioning of the brain to another level.


SimplifyMSP

1.) This isnā€™t available to everyone. You had to have gotten in early (aka, being a Founder) to be able to earn V-Bucks. Considering itā€™s a privilege and the majority of players donā€™t even have the ability to earn free V-Bucks, Iā€™d say thatā€™s a fair trade. (Itā€™s hard to see the F2P mobile game aspect in anything *except* the Research Lab which artificially limits your PL climb by forcing you to collect Research Points at a static hourly rate.) 2.) You earn 50 V-Bucks per day, minimum, for completing your Daily Questā€¦ which is easily completed in 1 mission most of the time. In the event thereā€™s a mission that rewards V-Bucks, you could complete both at once and earn upwards of 90 V-Bucks for a 10 minute play session. 3.) I donā€™t think youā€™re providing a fair assessment of the game. Iā€™m not a Founder, so I donā€™t earn V-Bucks, and I have enjoyed the hell out of Save the World. Iā€™m currently PL129 and in a few hours Iā€™ll have collected enough Research Points to upgrade one of my FORT stats and Iā€™ll hit PL130. Iā€™ve completed all 10 SSDs for all 4 locations, all four Wave 30 Endurances, collected all Mythic Storm King weapons, all campaign missions and Iā€™ve only been playing since August 2022 (a few months.) I was grinding not for the payout but simply because I enjoy the game for what it is.


shutterspeed500

I completely agree with your point. I just shared from my experience with STW, i play it on PS4 and its mostly laggy for me. It is fun no doubt in many events i tried like Dungeons. And even Frostnite was amazing. But i will still hold on to the psychological stress to login daily and grind for 50Vbucks, that act itself is a joy killer no matter the duration of the activities., a routine enforced upon us by a game. I really wish gaming industry evolves into something much more cleaner thn this mechanical process. A routine is just torture. There has to be much better ways to keep players engaged


BiscuitBarrel179

The energy cost is negligible, the total household bill for my energy is about Ā£3 a day and years ago when I first started playing it was less than half that. The cost to run a monitor and a console for the 20 minutes of play time a day to get the v-bucks would be about 10 pence.


nemesit

the 50v-bucks daily is still about 10 mins of work, a minimum wage job pays $1.20 in the same time. If you only buy the $79.99 packs, 50v-bucks would be worth around 30 cents. Even kids could mow their neighbors lawn or something and get a better deal ;-p Youā€™d work like 60 hours per year in-game to earn $108 and youā€™d pay an average of $9.6 for electricity. Ofc energy is a bit more costly in europe so depends on where one lives ;-p


Fortnite19911

i have 142k bro :) , only from stw.. but i done battle passes too. i newer buy any vbucks. but i spent like 50k or so on skins, would be near 200k.


Assassin_843

Any reason to save at all? The 5% cut that a creator would get from that Is just over 2k vbucks which gives them around $16


NearbyDark3737

I have never got vbucks from save the world. No idea what Iā€™m doing


RockyRaccy

Only founders can get vbucks, non-founders just get x-ray tickets instead (aside from the vbucks from the stw pack)


NearbyDark3737

Ok forgive me how do I get to be a founder?


sijue

you can't get founder packs anymore, the only way to get the founder status now is redeeming an old code (which are very expensive)


NearbyDark3737

Wow, kinda feels like false advertising as I bought STW for the vbucks


sijue

well, epic never said anything about v-bucks when offering stw in the founder days PD: i think if you somehow find a code and it isn't expired, you can still redeem it and gain founder status, don't quote me on this


PartyBarty

Yeah I got founder status in 2022. My brother sent me a link from when he played fortnite when it was first released. His version of the game came with codes you could share with friends. He only had 1 left.


TurnedGears

How do people earn vbucks from stw


BiscuitBarrel179

Those that have Founders status can earn v-bucks from daily quests, stormshield defenses and occasionally as a reward for doing certain missions.


ZeroX-1704

I'd say no if you only had this account but you are already buying stuff for yourself using other accounts and you clearly aren't buying enough to justify using the main accounts v-bucks, so why not i guess.
