Can't shell out 500 V-bucks? There's an another way to get the emote

Metallica's popularity knows no bounds. While both metalheads and regular players are excited by this crossover and are excited to obtain the Emote, its price tag of 500 V-Bucks is problematic. Fortunately, for some players, there's a workaround to get 500 V-Bucks.

Epic Games is refunding 500 V-Bucks to players who own the Adamantium Claws Pickaxe from Fortnite x Marvel: Zero Wars. Since the claws are now being given away as a free reward for completing the 'Revive a Friend' challenge, those who purchased the comic book to get the Adamantium Claws Pickaxe can now claim 500 V-Bucks from Epic Games.

What's next for Metallica in Fortnite?

The sudden arrival of Metallica in the game was a pleasant surprise for the community. Interestingly, the song Master of Puppets recently witnessed a revival in popularity when it was used in the Netflix series Stranger Things. Many players are excited about the Emote and are looking forward to the arrival of band members in the game as Outfits.

While the community is abuzz with Metallica, Epic Games are yet to shed any light on the possibility of a collaboration. It's plausible that the crossover was limited to an Emote, and the arrival of James Hetfield and other band members seems like a distant dream.
