You Want to Gift V-Bucks? Hold My Victory Royale Umbrella, I Got This.
So, your favorite Fortnite teammate just clutched an epic win, or maybe your little cousin keeps dropping "flossing" references and you suspect they're a low-key pro. Whatever the reason, you've decided to up their Fortnite game with the gift of V-Bucks. But hold on there, Maverick, gifting V-Bucks isn't as straightforward as dropping a boogie bomb. Don't worry, though, this guide will have you gifting like a true party leader in no time.

| How To Gift Fortnite V Bucks |
Step 1: Accepting Reality (and the Lack of a Direct Gift Option)
Let's rip the bandaid off first. Epic Games doesn't currently allow gifting V-Bucks directly. Yeah, I know, it's like finding a golden scar and realizing it's out of ammo. But fear not, there are still ways to be a gifting hero!
QuickTip: Break down long paragraphs into main ideas.
Step 2: Choosing Your Weapon (Gift Card vs. Gifting an Item)
Here's where things get tactical. You have two main options:
Tip: Read once for flow, once for detail.
Gift Card: This is the classic, reliable assault rifle of gifting. You can find Fortnite gift cards at most major retailers. Just pick one up, slap a bow on it (optional, but festive), and watch their eyes light up brighter than a disco ball in Tilted Towers.
Gifting an Item: This option is more like a tactical shotgun - high risk, high reward. You can actually gift specific outfits, emotes, and other goodies from the Fortnite store directly to your friend. It's a more personalized approach, but make sure you know their style (gifting a cuddle bear to a super sweaty player might not go over well).
Pro Tip: Whichever option you choose, make sure you double-check the platform they play on. You wouldn't want to gift a PS5 V-Bucks card to your PC-master-race friend (although, the look on their face might be worth it).
Tip: Revisit this page tomorrow to reinforce memory.
Step 3: Executing the Mission (Gifting Like a Boss)
This part's easy. Once you have your gift card or chosen item, follow the on-screen instructions to redeem or send it. Boom! You've just become the ultimate gift giver, rivaling Santa's efficiency (and questionable fashion choices).
Tip: Focus on sections most relevant to you.
