Importantly, players who previously purchased either the Rare or Uncommon bundles will receive an automatic V-bucks refund over the next week reflecting the difference based on the new reduced rates.

With cars remaining one of the most popular and useful Battle Royale cosmetics, many users likely already took the plunge prior to the discounts. Keep an eye out for your forthcoming reimbursement.

Community Reactions

Overall this marks excellent news for the Fortnite community. Cars stand out as some of the most expensive cosmetics in the game. Lower prices should allow more players to experience these fan-favorite items. Outside of gameplay perks, the vehicle designs also fit nicely within the eccentric, colorful style of Fortnite.

Epic continues finding ways to give back and improve affordability for its dedicated player base. Between cars, characters, harvesting tools, and gliders, fans certainly have plenty of customization options to explore with the extra V-bucks savings.
