My strategy is to only buy the pass when you complete it, then you just get everything for free + 500 vbucks. I haven’t spent money on the game in over a year and I still can buy some stuff from the shop
my cousin was really into Fortnite a few years ago, all he wanted for his birthday were vbucks gift cards. He ended up getting like 300$ worth across the whole extended family, and put all the vbucks on the wrong account
