This Fortnite player has gone into massive V-Bucks debt

Even if you have no V-Bucks in your account, you’re still better off than many other players. As ridiculous as it sounds, some Fortnite players have gone into massive debt, essentially owing money to Epic Games. While this may sound like a complicated situation, it’s relatively simple, and we are here to explain all the details.

If you are not careful with your account, you could go into debt too. Due to this, we advise you not to try to trick Epic Games or your account could be permanently affected.

Fortnite player shows his debt of tens of thousands of V-Bucks

Reddit user ForwardTraining1482 recently shared a screenshot of their V-Bucks balance. The balance shows -33,150, meaning that the player owes Epic Games approximately $220. In other words, even if this player buys 33,150 V-Bucks, their balance would be zero. Due to this, their account will likely stay in debt forever.

If you’re wondering how to avoid amassing debt in Fortnite, it’s actually quite easy. As long as you purchase V-Bucks and perform no chargebacks, you will not go into debt. However, if you perform chargebacks on your transactions, your bank will refund you the money, but Epic will put your account into debt, preventing it from buying cosmetic items from the Item Shop.

To make the situation worse, you could permanently lose your Fortnite account if you perform chargebacks. Due to this, you should only do this if you lose your card or accidentally purchase something you didn’t want to.

Getting into Fortnite debt is nearly impossible if you don’t try to trick Epic Games, so most players will not deal with this problem. Those who get into debt, however, will have to spend a lot of money just to be able to purchase new cosmetics. This also affects Battle Pass purchases, which means that indebted players cannot fully enjoy new seasons either.
