How to Earn Free V-Bucks with the Battle Pass in 2025?

If you have been playing Fortnite for a while, you have probably noticed that the Battle Pass gives out small amounts of V-Bucks as you level up. What many players do not realize is that this can actually become one of the easiest long-term ways to get free V-Bucks without using scams or generators.

Every new season includes a Free Battle Pass track that anyone can use, even if they have not paid for the full version.

By completing your challenges, earning XP, and unlocking the free tiers, you usually end up with around 200 V-Bucks per season. It might not sound like much, but those rewards build up if you keep playing.

“Trust Fortnite Loaded”: This Battle Pass guide was written and reviewed by real Fortnite players who have been completing every season’s pass since Chapter 1. All information here comes from verified in-game rewards, current Battle Pass data, and community-tested methods that still work in 2025.

The Battle Pass Recycling Trick

If you buy the Battle Pass one time for $8.99 or 1,000 V-Bucks, you can actually earn around 1,500 V-Bucks by completing all of its rewards. That amount is enough to purchase the next Battle Pass and still have a little extra left for something small in the item shop.

Here is how most players do it:

Buy the Battle Pass once for 1,000 V-Bucks.
Play through the season and collect every reward.
You will earn about 1,500 V-Bucks from that same pass.
Save 1,000 for the next season’s Battle Pass.
Use or save the extra 500 for a favorite emote or skin.

If you repeat this cycle each season, you can keep getting new Battle Passes without spending real money again. It only requires regular play and finishing your quests.

If you’d rather earn V-Bucks through missions or events instead, check out our guide on Save the World rewards. Just keep in mind, you’ll need a Founder’s account to use this method.

A Completely Free Path (No Purchases Needed)

If you do not want to buy anything at all, there is still a fully free way to reach that point.

Follow this plan:

Each season, complete your free tiers and collect the 200 V-Bucks
Continue this for about five seasons until you have saved 1,000 V-Bucks.
Use those to purchase your first paid Battle Pass.
Finish that Battle Pass and you will earn around 1,500 V-Bucks.
Keep 1,000 for the next season’s pass and use or save the remaining 500.

By doing this, you can build up your V-Buck balance over time and eventually reach the point where you never need to spend real money. The first few seasons require patience, but after that it becomes completely self-sustaining.

Community Proof That the "Free Path" Really Works

I’ve been using this free method for years and have never paid for the battle pass. You do not have to just take my word for it either. Here is a screenshot from a recent discussion on the r/FortNiteBR subreddit. A player confirmed that this free method still works in 2025, and the post is only about five months old.

Extra Rewards You Get Along the Way

The Battle Pass does not only give V-Bucks. It also rewards skins, emotes, wraps, pickaxes, gliders, and music packs as you level up.

Even casual players can reach the free V-Buck tiers by doing daily and weekly quests. If you complete your paid Battle Pass, you will also collect dozens of cosmetics without paying anything extra.
