"Free V-Bucks Van found": Fortnite community reacts to hilarious incident

Fortnite has impacted not just gaming but pop culture as a whole. The game is a household name at this point, and even people who don't play video games know about the game and are aware of essential aspects of it, like V-Bucks. While this counts as a plus for Epic Games' Battle Royale, it can also make for some weirdly humorous real-life moments.

This was especially highlighted in a recent Reddit post shared by u/Iskarbuni, where the player shared an image of a van with "Free V-Bucks" written on it, a play on the usual "Free Candy" trope, leading them to exclaim:

"Free V-Bucks Van found"

The image has attracted a lot of attention from the Fortnite community, with players taking to the comments to add to the already humorous situation with their own jokes. Reddit user u/DeadlyKitKat joked about how they would go into the van because they desperately need V-Bucks while Reddit user u/Rough_Lychee5785 referenced the iconic loading screen warnings from the game.

Meanwhile, Reddit user u/Conner21dumb joked about how the Free V-Bucks van is one of the only two buses they would go to, with the other one being the game's iconic Battle Bus.

Joking about the possibility of the Free V-Bucks van being full of V-Bucks cards for players to claim, Reddit user u/AndyDS777 commented:

"It be funny if it was literally real and it's just a truck full of vbuck cards"

How can you get free V-Bucks in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2?

V-Bucks are Fortnite's in-game currency, and they enable players to purchase cosmetics from the Item Shop, as well as in-game commodities like the Battle Pass. While it's all fun and games when talking about the Free V-Bucks van, it is obvious that entering a stranger's van is not how you can get free V-Bucks.

So this does beg the question of how you can earn this valuable currency for free in Chapter 5 Season 2. Since Fortnite is a free-to-play game, Epic Games heavily relies on maintaining the value of V-Bucks in its ecosystem, so the only way to earn a limited amount of free V-Bucks each season is through the free Battle Pass.

Progressing through the free Battle Pass allows you to earn up to 300 V-Bucks each season, and while 300 V-Bucks is not much, you can always save your V-Bucks over multiple seasons and only use them when necessary.
