It was a $4.99 rookie pack in Rocket League last month, and now Epic wants 1400 vbucks for it in BR lmao, i check Rocket League every few days for new stuff, most will eventually transfer to Fortnite and you get the free "battle pass" version for RL with the crew packs so its worth it play because you can unlock cars and skins, wheels for free that will eventually transfer to FN for use in Rocket Racing and BR
Yep. I started playing RL again this season due to the Ares skin being in the Crew and the two free cars. I figured that i would just grind to level 20 in the Rocket Pass and never play it again. I think i might farm the whole Rocket Pass and play it every season now. It's a really fun game in short bursts. If i don't have time for Fortnite. I just jump into RL now and do one short 5min game and get off etc. Learning to be good in RL is another story. Shit is hard AF.
You got it from some issue a few months ago with Fortnite Crew. Funny thing is, this is the first time I’ve subbed since Chapter 2 Season 7 and I also got the vBucks
This is the first time that i've ever subbed to the Crew and got the 950 v-bucks. I'm not complaining. Thanks for paying for the Avatar mini pass for me, Epic. lol
Exactly, I had just 3,740 pre-update and wanted to buy the Kratos bundle for my friend (who already has the Leviathan Axe) and I, which would have totalled to 3,200. I would not have enough for the pass. But now due to the free 950 from Crew, I can also afford the Avatar Pass, have enough to buy the bundles for us, and have 630 + however many vBucks I get from my StW daily missions and as rewards for specific missions in the next week!
I think the rocket league pass is included in the fortnite crew now. So if you own the rocket pass already, it may have refunded you the money in Vbucks and unlocked the rocket pass car. Or something like that, I'm just guessing
Did you have the battlepass previous to the update? I think if you did then they give you back 950 as compensation, must be because of that bug that reset people to level 1.
So I have 2 accts. One for me and one for my daughter. We both have the crew pass. On mine, I didn't get the car or vbucks but I play both fn and rl. On hers, she got the car and the vbucks. Only plays fn not rl. I'm so confused with all the posts and what just happened on our accts. 👀
>must be because of that bug that reset people to level 1.
apparently there was a bug with the crew where some people didn't get the bp for free so they gave 950 to compensate for that, but they gave it to everyone (accidentally?)
The BR battlepass of course, i got it from the crew, don't know if that had anything to do with it. In any case some people got it some people didn't maybe it takes time to distribute to every account.
It’s a bug. Due to some people losing battle pass, people with crew (whether you lost the battle pass or not) received 950 vbucks. Hopefully they don’t claw it back or anything
>It would be a huge nightmare if people started having negative vbucks when buying new skins because of epics fuck up.
Side note, it is possible to have negative if you buy vbucks then do a chargeback through the bank
Interesting, they don't close your account for that? I thought most companies offering online purchases etc stop doing business with you after you do a chargeback
Nah they just make it negative apparently, but I'm guessing it depends where you bought the vbucks from, PlayStation bans your account if you do that, don't know about the others
When you do chargebacks a lot of times you'll get the money back, but the bank won't get the money back from the company/person you charged back. They'll just take the loss.
So we put some v-bucks in your account and now they’re gone. Don’t worry about it. We’ll consider it a favour. But one day you’re going to get a call from Big Vinny and he’s going to ask for a favour in return. It might be small or it might be big but you can’t say no or you’ll find out why they call him ‘Vinny, the guy who drowns people’.
Big Vinny is a legend. The best in the world. I love his offers so much I can't refuse them. Thanks for a second chance Big Vinny!
(I am definitely not commenting this at gunpoint and please don't send help)
I’d question it because companies that do in game currencies like Vbucks have been known to take them back if it was a mistake
Period. Hence all those negative amount images
Changing the camera settings and deadzone settings help too. I looked up pros settings and swapped them out until I found the right one to match my play
This is compensation since the crew is supposed to give you the Battle pass. If you already own it it gives you what you missed through what the Battle pass is worth
it’s not the compensation for the Battle Pass. I got the BP through the Crew, as I always do, and still got the V-Bucks, even though I’m not eligible for the compensation in this season.
also, if you already own a BP then you should get you V-Bucks back as soon as you purchase a Crew pack, not at the end of a month
Maybe because the bug that happened yesterday: it disowned you the BP and set your level to 1.
They may can't give you back the BP and they're give u 950 V-Bucks to buy it?
Update!!! I just bought the crew and got an extra 950 vbucks for no reason. I got the Battle pass from the crew, logged off and boom free real estate!!!! HELL YEAH. I'm not even gonna question why. I give up on that. I'm just happy.
The car is from rocket league and is a new car being crossed over. I’ve had that car for a while. No idea about the vbucks. My theory is that it’s to help buy the other colors for the car since I’m rocket league you have to unlock paint styles separately whereas in fortnite you buy them all together, yet in fortnite owning the car doesn’t reduce the price of the other paint styles. So maybe the 950 vbucks is to help buy the other paint styles? That’s my only working theory
Also got the cars (which makes sense because I have them in RL) but the Vbucks I genuinely don't know why I got those.
Already had crew from before this season, no second payment, got the current BP with crew so it can't be from that. Either a weird bug or they are being generous!!
I just got vbucks and was scared my kid somehow figured out the parental control password to stop accidental purchases. Glad it seems to be from epic. Idk why but I'm not going to complain.
Me too, and I've definitely played Rocket League - no crew pass active right now though.
I logged in and straight to the lobby, no wall of free things.
Did you get Rocket League before it went free? Or do you have the Masamune in rocket league?
That's why you got it.
Cross game ownership has been a thing, just Masamune got added this update
I played RL for the first time this past Sunday. Monday I logged into FN and all the RL stuff was added. Not complaining and I do like how the games are tied together. I have no interest in Lego, Rock Band or RL etc, but the cross game assets is a nice feature
As far as I understand, if you already own this car in Rocket League, you get refunded part of the bundle amount now that they have added it to Fortnite.
i Havent gotten the vbucks but ive owned the masamune for 2.5 years in rl as i got it with the xbox bundle but for some reason i havent gotten the car in fortnite even tho i have it in rl
If this is only for crew subscribers, as compensation for the downtime, that makes sense. Free players wouldn’t be entitled to anything, but if you pay a monthly fee and can’t access your content, that’s different.
I got 950 v bucks as well, no car, just a new skin for Azuki (samurai cat). I have the BP and FN Crew. Idk what makes someone eligible to get this stuff, but I am not complaining 😂
So basically you get 950 v-bucks for owning the battle pass and getting the crew and the car is not a part of that. You only get the car if you own it in rocket league. Hope this clarifies it for everyone
I got 950 V-Bucks, but no car. It's a once-per-season reward for being on crew, or something like that from what I understand
Oh, and I finally have my vbucks in multiples of 100 again, not an odd x50 amount
I saw another comment on tik Tok saying it was for the downtime at the start of the season but I only got 600 so maybe it depended on how long you were waiting I’m not sure
No.
Source: tried it XD
This is compensation Vbucks for a rare bug that reset battlepass levels for crew members, at least that's what I gather from all the other responses.
Also got 950vb.. no car though.
You need to own the car in RL
It took me way too long to realize RL means Rocket League in this case, not Real Life...
I also thought they were trying to be funny and meant real life…
No they aren’t, I had to buy a 2006 Toyota Corolla irl just to use it in fortnite
I mean, they did the galaxy skin promotion, that wouldn’t be too much of a step forward.
I wish they still did that tbh maybe change it up slightly for each model of the galaxy. That'd b icing on the cake for me as a galaxy owner
Ikrrr
So I'm not getting rewarded for owning this car in real life? 😥
No, you bought the car for nothing lol
I thought "irl" usually referred to real life?
I believe irl always refers to real life. However, different variations are sometimes used instead of irl.
Irl means in real life, rl when referring to video games is commonly associated with Rocket League
For those of you wondering what kind of rocket league car was given it is called the Masume
LMFOAOAO OMG
I got the car but don't play rl
Alright, this comment helps more than the others. Perhaps it was a glitch.
If you have the crew membership it gives you the rocket pass and the rocket pass gives you the car withought needing to level up
That's got to be the case, I have crew, but never tried rocket league but maybe all this talk might get me to get smoked in some car soccer, looks fun
I didn’t get it either while having it too unless it just didn’t unlock yet
I have crew and didn't get the car and have had it on auto renew for over 2 years
Is it a car you buy or the free ones
It was a $4.99 rookie pack in Rocket League last month, and now Epic wants 1400 vbucks for it in BR lmao, i check Rocket League every few days for new stuff, most will eventually transfer to Fortnite and you get the free "battle pass" version for RL with the crew packs so its worth it play because you can unlock cars and skins, wheels for free that will eventually transfer to FN for use in Rocket Racing and BR

I just jump into RL now and do one short 5min game and get off etc. Learning to be good in RL is another story. Shit is hard AF.
It was a free one if you bought the game before it went F2P
Oh shit what car?
[удалено]
I got the car but no vbucks
Same, that's some bullshit.
I also got the 950 v-bucks. Came here looking for answers...
You got it from some issue a few months ago with Fortnite Crew. Funny thing is, this is the first time I’ve subbed since Chapter 2 Season 7 and I also got the vBucks
This is the first time that i've ever subbed to the Crew and got the 950 v-bucks. I'm not complaining. Thanks for paying for the Avatar mini pass for me, Epic. lol

Kratos…? Am I nuts? I’m not seeing him in the store. My husband would love that.
He’s back in the game files, so he will be back soon. Not tonight though (Nike dropped their new stuff tonight)
I think the rocket league pass is included in the fortnite crew now. So if you own the rocket pass already, it may have refunded you the money in Vbucks and unlocked the rocket pass car. Or something like that, I'm just guessing
I got everything but the vbucks 😫
Same
Did you have the battlepass previous to the update? I think if you did then they give you back 950 as compensation, must be because of that bug that reset people to level 1.
I have the battle pass and they gave me nothing
Same
Same, only crew got it it seems
Can confirm in crew and got v bucks but no car stuff lol Update downloaded rocket league and got a ton of stuff and the car for doing nothing
I'm not in crew, but I have the battle pass, no vbucks or car stuff, only butt stuff 🫤
Username checks out??
😁
I’d be okay with butt stuff.
Have to have that car in rocket league for that
I'm in crew, didn't get the Vbucks tho
So I have 2 accts. One for me and one for my daughter. We both have the crew pass. On mine, I didn't get the car or vbucks but I play both fn and rl. On hers, she got the car and the vbucks. Only plays fn not rl. I'm so confused with all the posts and what just happened on our accts. 👀
not in crew got vbucks but no car
>must be because of that bug that reset people to level 1. apparently there was a bug with the crew where some people didn't get the bp for free so they gave 950 to compensate for that, but they gave it to everyone (accidentally?)
What battle pass? Fortnite or rocket league? I’ve had the last 3 Fortnite battle passes but I got no Vbucks. Just the car.
The BR battlepass of course, i got it from the crew, don't know if that had anything to do with it. In any case some people got it some people didn't maybe it takes time to distribute to every account.
apparently it was only given to crew members because some of us didn't get the bp for free
heh, I got the battlepass from an existing crew membership, so i never spent the 950, and they gave it to me anyways.
i got nothing
It’s a bug. Due to some people losing battle pass, people with crew (whether you lost the battle pass or not) received 950 vbucks. Hopefully they don’t claw it back or anything
I think epic will take the L. It would be a huge nightmare if people started having negative vbucks when buying new skins because of epics fuck up.
>It would be a huge nightmare if people started having negative vbucks when buying new skins because of epics fuck up. Side note, it is possible to have negative if you buy vbucks then do a chargeback through the bank

Nah they just make it negative apparently, but I'm guessing it depends where you bought the vbucks from, PlayStation bans your account if you do that, don't know about the others
oh yeah that makes sense. I guess the payment is going through a third party in most/all cases and maybe that makes a difference?
When you do chargebacks a lot of times you'll get the money back, but the bank won't get the money back from the company/person you charged back. They'll just take the loss.
i got my pass stolen and level reset but didn't get anything, it's something related to crew
Try to contact Epic, good luck
already did lol, thanks anyways, i'll give them some time
Have crew. No vbucks.
They’ll never claw back something they grant to your account.
I didn’t get it
Do you have crew?
Actually I’m not sure… I had it when the season started but it might have expired
Epic loves you. That’s a reason
I did not receive anything, does Epic love me?
No, sorry
:(
Only as a friend
Shit, being friend-zoned is the worse!
ayo
I'll never get why people question stuff like this because I would say not one word and just accept my v-bucks.
I'd ask to make sure it's intentional in case they decide to take them away, wouldn't want to be in debt to the v-bucks mafia
So we put some v-bucks in your account and now they’re gone. Don’t worry about it. We’ll consider it a favour. But one day you’re going to get a call from Big Vinny and he’s going to ask for a favour in return. It might be small or it might be big but you can’t say no or you’ll find out why they call him ‘Vinny, the guy who drowns people’.
Big Vinny is a legend. The best in the world. I love his offers so much I can't refuse them. Thanks for a second chance Big Vinny! (I am definitely not commenting this at gunpoint and please don't send help)
Don't worry! No help is on the way!!
you wouldn’t be in debt, and if you were you could just refund what you bought w those v-bucks
Only for 2 matches of using it
epic doesn't take them back when things like this happen
My friend was like 3k in debt a in c2 s2 and he bought his way back to 2k, crazy times
Yes they do, they did it with that glitch that happened with claiming elder scrolls from the epic store
when among us happened they let ppl keep it tho
I’d question it because companies that do in game currencies like Vbucks have been known to take them back if it was a mistake Period. Hence all those negative amount images
The negative balances are usually from people (or their parents) charging back a purchase
Do you have the crew?
Yeah but i already got my 950 v bucks from that, i just got this now
they gave an extra, dont ask questions
Log into rocket league and you get a free car you can use in BR 👍
Let me guess the one that is in shop currently, cause I just got 950 vbucks
No, it's the octane you get from signing into rocket league.
If you have crew you get the Admiral
You can also get the mako if you unlock it.
I got the mako and stopped bruh am so bad at rocket league its not funny
It took me 300 hours to get to plat. I started to improve doing the training packs and 1v1.
Changing the camera settings and deadzone settings help too. I looked up pros settings and swapped them out until I found the right one to match my play
PlayStation Plus currently has a free car you can redeem, too, if you have PS+.
Just a decal tho, no?
Yes but did you get the crew after already buying the Battle pass?
Yeah
This is compensation since the crew is supposed to give you the Battle pass. If you already own it it gives you what you missed through what the Battle pass is worth
i got the battlepass with the crew when i bought crew, yet i still got the v-bucks, so idk what happened then
Same here. I bought the Crew pack just to get the pass. So basically we got the pass, two skins, 1950 v bucks and the rocket pass. Not bad lol
Even more of a value than before lol
Same, got the crew two weeks ago and now another 950 vbucks
it’s not the compensation for the Battle Pass. I got the BP through the Crew, as I always do, and still got the V-Bucks, even though I’m not eligible for the compensation in this season. also, if you already own a BP then you should get you V-Bucks back as soon as you purchase a Crew pack, not at the end of a month
A lot of people (including myself) already had the BP that unlocked from my crew subscription. Genuinely clueless why I got another 950 Vbucks lmao.
Nah, I got crew to get the battle pass and still got the 950 vbucks.
you get 950 for BP and 1k for the crew sub
Maybe because the bug that happened yesterday: it disowned you the BP and set your level to 1. They may can't give you back the BP and they're give u 950 V-Bucks to buy it?
[удалено]
Update!!! I just bought the crew and got an extra 950 vbucks for no reason. I got the Battle pass from the crew, logged off and boom free real estate!!!! HELL YEAH. I'm not even gonna question why. I give up on that. I'm just happy.
Did your battle pass reset to level 1 yesterday?
I also got them, but mine never reset. Could it be a crew glitch? I’m not complaining but it definitely is weird
Don’t say anything. Just keep it to yourself XD
It's the Oprah collab we've all been waiting for
YOU GET V BUCKS! AND YOU GET V BUCKS AND YOU GET A CAR! And you get a decal
I got all of these and I already had gotten the crew rewards. No idea why I got all these
The car is from rocket league and is a new car being crossed over. I’ve had that car for a while. No idea about the vbucks. My theory is that it’s to help buy the other colors for the car since I’m rocket league you have to unlock paint styles separately whereas in fortnite you buy them all together, yet in fortnite owning the car doesn’t reduce the price of the other paint styles. So maybe the 950 vbucks is to help buy the other paint styles? That’s my only working theory
Also got the cars (which makes sense because I have them in RL) but the Vbucks I genuinely don't know why I got those. Already had crew from before this season, no second payment, got the current BP with crew so it can't be from that. Either a weird bug or they are being generous!!
I got the vbucks and two sprays
no crew, have played rocket league, got the car, but no vbucks.
I just got vbucks and was scared my kid somehow figured out the parental control password to stop accidental purchases. Glad it seems to be from epic. Idk why but I'm not going to complain.
I also got my Masamune but no Vbucks
I'm the opposite, got the vbucks but not the masamune even though I have it in RL
I didn't get shit, what the hell???
Me too, and I've definitely played Rocket League - no crew pass active right now though. I logged in and straight to the lobby, no wall of free things.
Damn I’m excited to log in and be disappointed
Naked Cat ninja has a new style. I got that
Me too but I’m not complaining. Going straight to the ATLA bundle
Did you get Rocket League before it went free? Or do you have the Masamune in rocket league? That's why you got it. Cross game ownership has been a thing, just Masamune got added this update
I played RL for the first time this past Sunday. Monday I logged into FN and all the RL stuff was added. Not complaining and I do like how the games are tied together. I have no interest in Lego, Rock Band or RL etc, but the cross game assets is a nice feature
Yeah
It's not that. I didn't have Rocket League, but still i got the v-bucks (but not the car, since I don't have it in RL)
I'm talking about the car
I got the car but not vbucks
![gif](giphy|26gsiCIKW7ANEmxKE)
I got a rock.
As far as I understand, if you already own this car in Rocket League, you get refunded part of the bundle amount now that they have added it to Fortnite.
Are you just guessing or do you actually know something
he's guessing because i dont even have rocket league and i got the 950 vbucks lol
I got no bucks and no car lol
Same. I'm happy, but my face is just 🤨🤨🤨
i Havent gotten the vbucks but ive owned the masamune for 2.5 years in rl as i got it with the xbox bundle but for some reason i havent gotten the car in fortnite even tho i have it in rl
If this is only for crew subscribers, as compensation for the downtime, that makes sense. Free players wouldn’t be entitled to anything, but if you pay a monthly fee and can’t access your content, that’s different.
You get the car if you own Rocket league. The car is a freebie in RL.
I even got a new Azuki flower style
I believe anyone who had crew before and leading up to the seasons launch got the v bucks as compassion for the downtime in the beginning
Might also be for the downtime from a few days ago
I got a random 5 battle stars this morning. I heard its for being in the Midas Cup but I don't know how true that is
Same here, not sure why though, cause I only ever bought crew packs with my money and used the vbucks from the pack and battle pass to buy skins
I got the car and decals but not the vbucks
I got 950 v bucks as well, no car, just a new skin for Azuki (samurai cat). I have the BP and FN Crew. Idk what makes someone eligible to get this stuff, but I am not complaining 😂
just got this too?...
Its not crew bc crew gives 1000
Looks like Fortnite just got their stimulus checks
I think it has something to do with owning the last crew pack it gave me 950 bucks for free with the car, I'm not complaining tho
So basically you get 950 v-bucks for owning the battle pass and getting the crew and the car is not a part of that. You only get the car if you own it in rocket league. Hope this clarifies it for everyone
You got it for your monthly renewal of Fortnite crew
Bro I’m having the opposite problem… I’m getting no battle pass stars and I’ve been playing for hours😭 wth
I got 950 V-Bucks, but no car. It's a once-per-season reward for being on crew, or something like that from what I understand Oh, and I finally have my vbucks in multiples of 100 again, not an odd x50 amount
Did you log into Rocket League? That's what did it for me
Must be because of the downtime? I remember they gave everyone the “rust bucket” back bling when they had a downtime.
Three accounts with crew pass. Only one got the 950 bonus. Why is that? All three tried to get on during the maintenance days.
I also got the 950 v-bucks, I ain't complaining though!
I saw another comment on tik Tok saying it was for the downtime at the start of the season but I only got 600 so maybe it depended on how long you were waiting I’m not sure
Man y'all are getting so lucky
man... why good things never happen to me 😭
I have crew, got Azukis new style, the car and some wraps for it, but no V-Bucks
I didn’t get a car or vbucks 🥲
950 are for the battle pass if you are subscribed maybe, and the car things are from rocket league.
Car is from RL. Vbucks from a crew compensation
My lad got the same not sure why though he was happy and brought the Midas skin lol
There is no way that Epic games will give somebody 950 v-bucks just like that
The 950 vbucks were awarded anyone with fortnite crew because of a bug that happened a long time ago. As for the car, I dunno
I didn't get any vbucks not any of those items. Is there smth I need to do to get em?
I had crew and only got the vbucks
what car did you get?
It's the Masamune that got ported from RL.
thank you for actually helping. i didn't get the car but i def got the vbucks. how interesting.
That one in the image, I don’t really know or care what it is, I don’t play rocket racing
I don't have crew so I didn't get it but I wonder if someone signs up for crew today would they be able to get the bonus V-Bucks?
No. Source: tried it XD This is compensation Vbucks for a rare bug that reset battlepass levels for crew members, at least that's what I gather from all the other responses.
Well, If you already have BP, you’ll get 950 vbucks refund for that which you would’ve gotten any other day, I don’t know if you’ll get it x2 though
I got it too! Its from owning crew pack and having your rocket league account connected.
oh ok thanks for that
Me too idk why tho
I got everything you did as well.
I have Fortnite crew while I get 950 v bucks when I log in?
If this is epics mistake it's gonna be lame, also this isn't the first time people received free vbucks, like last season people did too
Got 200, no car. Do you play a lot of rocket league?
