Fortnite released a new version of the Shaka Surfin’ Starter Pack this week, increasing its V-Bucks from 600 to 1,000 V-Bucks. This deal is available until December 25, but unfortunately, only new players can take advantage of it. However, while the pack with more V-Bucks isn’t available directly from the Item Shop, you can get it on the Epic Games Store.
This guide will show you how to get the new Starter Pack in Fortnite on your account. It’s important to note that you can get the regular pack from the Item Shop, but it only has 600 V-Bucks. You can get the new pack for the same price, yet you’ll receive more V-Bucks.
How to get the Fortnite Starter Pack with 1,000 V-Bucks?
Since the new pack is only available for new Fortnite players, you’ll have to use the Epic Games Store to buy it. The procedure is simple, and you can obtain the pack in less than a minute. To do it, please follow these steps:
- Go to the Epic Games Store
- Log in with your Fortnite (Epic Games) account
- Open the Starter Pack in your browser
- Finish the purchase
The pack costs $4.49, and when you buy it from Epic’s store, you will also receive a 20% cashback, which is $0.90. You can use this cashback for your next purchase from the store, whether you buy packs or V-Bucks.
Since the new pack is only intended to be purchased by new users, there is a chance that Epic will revoke your purchase. If this happens, your payment will be refunded, and the items from the pack will be removed from your account. However, this method has been active a couple of times in the past, and Epic has not revoked it.
Besides this deal, you can get 17 skins, 2,500 V-Bucks, and other cosmetics for only $1. You can also earn free V-Bucks, which is great if you’d like to get new cosmetics.
