Summary

  • Fortnite players can use real money to purchase V-Bucks, in-game currency, for cosmetic items. No pay-to-win content.
  • Other packs like starter packs and quest packs offer different benefits and affordability. Monthly Fortnite Crew Pack subscription available.
  • December Fortnite Crew Pack includes exclusive Silas Hesk skin, Rocket League Rocket Pass, 1,000 V-Bucks, and free Battle Pass refund.

The January Fortnite Crew Pack has been revealed, so players can start pondering if it's worth their money or not. Even though Fortnite is a free-to-play game, fans can use real money to purchase V-Bucks, its in-game currency. Players can then use the V-Bucks in their accounts to acquire packs, the Battle Pass, and cosmetic items. Since this isn't a pay-to-win game, fans won't be able to get anything besides cosmetic modifications.

While gamers can simply purchase a standard V-Bucks bundle, other packs might be worth their while. For example, each season, Epic Games releases a starter pack, such as the Chill Vibez Pack, which is much more affordable. And several other deals might be more beneficial, depending on the player's preferences. Besides starter packs and quest packs, gamers can also acquire the Fortnite Crew Pack, which is a monthly subscription with unique perks.

The list of LEGO Fortnite minifigures is growing with the addition of three fan-favorite characters from the original Star Wars trilogy.

The Fortnite Crew Pack can be renewed monthly, and each month, it includes different cosmetic items. Just like the items included in the Battle Pass, Fortnite Crew cosmetics are exclusive to those who purchased them when they were made available and won't be accessible in the future. This is why it is such an exciting time for the community whenever a new Crew Pack is revealed. For the month of January, Epic Games decided to show fans the Crew Pack early on, as it was revealed on December 26. The Fortnite Crew Pack is handed out on the last day of the month at 7 PM ET, so players can expect to receive the Silas Hesk skin on December 31.

When Does the December Fortnite Crew Pack Come Out?

  • Sunday, December 31 at 7 PM ET.

Even though the free skin tends to be one of the main focuses in the Crew Pack, subscribers will also receive the Rocket League Rocket Pass and 1,000 V-Bucks. On top of this, gamers who didn't subscribe during the month of December will receive the Battle Pass for free, and those who already purchased it with V-Bucks will get a full refund of 950 V-Bucks.

Since the Fortnite Crew deal lasts one full month, gamers who purchase the December Crew Pack late into the month will also receive the Silas Hesk skin. Additionally, they will also be eligible to unlock the Skull Scout skin alongside the Grim Reconning's Legacy Set. If they have any other active legacy sets, subscribing for another month will get them to progress to the next stage, which might unlock more styles or cosmetic items.
