Events which reward V-Bucks in Fortnite stw
Fortnite events used to grant a lot of V-Bucks, but the last event that did was Road Trip back in 2018. It’s worth noting that some events more than double Mini-Boss missions to increase V-Bucks income during the event. Events have had their own separate questlines and even progression systems.
