This is a in-direct price increase as they ahve actualy reduced the number of V-Bucks but kept the price the same!

Getting a Free Fortnite Battle Pass in Fortnite is totally possible, and when I say FREE, I mean totally FREE! No local currency spent, no $$$ or £££ parted with. Its a long term project so you have to be patient and wait for a while.

If you’re interested in How to Get FREE V-Bucks in Fortnite check out my other guide or perhaps the Fortnite Battle Pass Rewards???

I am ignoring any other ways you may have received V-Bucks for the Fortnite Battle pass

Special Events
Prize Draws
Lotteries
Influencer give aways
Crazy YouTube Free codes that never work

This is the sure way of getting a Battle Pass and you are guaranteed to get it at the end! It’s the way I get my Battle pass!

How much is Fortnite’s Battle Pass in 2026?

The Battle Pass will now cost 800 V-Bucks and award 800 V-Bucks for completing it. Previously it cost 1,000 V-Bucks and you could earn 1,000 V-Bucks plus 500 in the Bonus Rewards.

V-Bucks Pack Tiers

Exact Amount Pack	~$0.50* for 50 V-Bucks	$0.99* for 50 V-Bucks

But if you follow the guide below you can get some V-Bucks totally FREE!

How long does Fortnite Battle Pass last for?

The Fortnite Battle Pass last for the entire Season you buy the Battle Pass in, this is normally 70 – 100 Days depending on the Season. I would recommend buying the Battle Pass right at the beginning of the season so you make full use of all the items.

However, this doesn’t mean you can’t get it half way in as you will have your Battle Stars banked and you can just start unlocking items and skins as soon as you get the pass.

The Battle Pass is NOT a monthly subscription, its a one of purchase for the Season (like a Season Ticket), the season could cover 3 months. You could call it a quarterly subscription.

The Pass will expire at the end of the Season you are in, not matter when it was purchased.

Do I need Fortnite Battle Pass?

Need is a strong word here, you don’t neeeeeed a Battle Pass but if you want the coolest skins, best back bling’s, sweetest harvesting tools then you’re going to want the Battle Pass.

I would recommend you read my How to get Free V-Bucks Guide, this will also help you out a lot before progressing onto this guide. And also, my Fortnite Quest Guides as this will help you level faster.

I have been doing this for a few chapters now and as long as you stay active on Fortnite you will have a Free Battle Pass. I am going to explain how I have achieved this so you can too. It does take a while, but if you love playing Fortnite but don’t have the $$$ for a Battle Pass, keep reading…

With Chapter 4 Season 2 just started i ahve 1900 V-Bucks from the last seasons rewards. I normaly level to 100 then buy the seasons Battle Pass so i can show you the FREE 300 V-bucks on each season.

Free Fortnite Battle Pass - Chapter 4 Season 2 — Free Fortnite Battle Pass – Chapter 4 Season 2

How long with it take to get a Free Fortnite Battle Pass

If you want the Totally Free Battle Pass then it’s going to take you 3 Season and 20 Levels before you see all those amazing FREE Fortnite Skins for ever (did I mention you need to keep playing), but it’s going to be totally worth it. Sounds like a long time but “time fly’s when you’re having fun”

You should also read my Fortnite Quest Guides, these will help you level as fast as possible.

How to Get a FREE Fortnite Battle Pass in 2026

Once you have read my Free V-Bucks Guide then you have an idea of what you will need to achieve. This is based on the idea you have an account with no V-Bucks and you’re starting off from Zero.

If you have a few V-Bucks from already completed Chapters then you have already started your journey to Free Battle Pass

It’s also assume you have some self-control and won’t spend the V-Bucks as you earn them, lol

Your First Season – Level best you can to level 100 and collect 300 V-bucks as per my Free V-Bucks Guide. 300 V-Bucks banked
Your Second Season – Level best you can to level 100 and collect another 300 V-bucks as per my Free V-Bucks Guide. 600 V-Bucks banked
Your Third Season – Level best you can to level 100 and collect another 300 V-bucks as per my Free V-Bucks Guide. 900 V-Bucks banked
On your Fourth Season – Level to 20 for another 100 V-Bucks banked and you now have 1000 V-Bucks and it’s time to Buy that Battle Pass.

Buying the Battle Pass with my 1000 FREE V-Bucks

Yes, it takes 9 months to get the FREE Battle Pass, but as a casual player that plays other games (OMG) or that may not have the funds for the Battle Pass this could be an alternative.

After reaching level 20 (I was 76 by the time I got round to buying it lol), I had my FREE V-bucks, it was time to go shopping!

Totaly FREE Fortnite V-bucks from Chapter 3

This is the 3rd FREE Battle pass I have purchased as once you have V-Buck for one Battle Pass, you can earn enough V-Bucks in that season to buy next Season Battle Pass. You just need to be careful with your spending

How to Buy the Fortnite Battle Pass

Click on the GET THE BATTLE PASS in the top right of the main menu, as show in the pic above.

Click on BUY BATTLE PASS, 950 V-Bucks,

Fortnite - Buy Battle Pass Chapter 4 Season 1 — Fortnite – Buy Battle Pass Chapter 4 Season 1

Next, click on Confirm Purchase, you will need to HOLD down your button to complete the purchase

Fortnite - Purchase Battle Pass Chapter 4 Season 1 — Fortnite – Purchase Battle Pass Chapter 4 Season 1

On the next screen you should receive your confirmation that Battle Pass Upgraded!

Fortnite - Purchased Battle Pass Chapter 4 Season 1 — Fortnite – Purchased Battle Pass Chapter 4 Season 1

I have a Free Fortnite Battle Pass, What now?

Once you have a Battle Pass, either by the method above or by buying 1000 V-Bucks and then purchasing the pass, you are now in a great position to keep getting the pass every season.

You can achieve this as within the Full Battle Pass you can earn a further 1200 V-Bucks (plus the 300 that doesn’t need the full pass) from levelling up and buying V-Bucks with battle Stars.

I then spent the 950 Free V-Bucks on the Chapter 4 Season 1 Battle Pass. I received those V-Bucks from the Chapter 3 Season 4 Battle Pass, I can now start receiving may Battle Pass rewards by spending my Battle Stars I have earned so far this season.

Free Fortnite Battle Pass - Chapter 4 Season 1 — Free Fortnite Battle Pass – Chapter 4 Season 1

I can now buy all the Skins, back bling, Axe’s, emotes etc with the Battle Stars I have already earnt and the most important part, the newly unlocked FREE V-Bucks.

Once all the levels are unlocked i will have MORE FREE V-bucks and I can save those for the next seasons Battle Pass. I will then have some left over so I can get something with the extra or wait until next season and save up more V-Bucks! I’ll be on the lookout for that truly cool emote.

If you keep playing from now on, even if you just power level to 100 to get the Free V-Bucks from the Battle Pass, this then gives you enough V-Bucks for next Seasons Battle Pass.

You can just keep on buying the Battle Pass every Season, getting FREE V-bucks and you can keep going until Epic change the setup and nerf this process.

If you then keep the V-Bucks banked then you will have all you need each season to renew the Battle Pass and some bucks left over for other items and skins. All with not spending any $$$ or £££

How much V-Bucks does the Free Battle Pass give?

If you have not yet purchased the Battle Pass then you can actualy collect 300 FREE V-bucks each chapter. Collecting these over 3.5 chapters can actualy earn you enough V-Bucks to buy a Battle Pass tatally FREE

Fortnite – Battle Royale is Amazing and my No1 Game

Soggydan Battle Royale, Fortnite 26 January 2026

Fortnite is an amazing game that keep players hooked within minutes of playing it. There is 100’s of games to play once inside the Fortnite system, with the most well-known being the Battle Royale

What is a Battle Royale?

For me Fortnite – Battle Royale is basically the game version of the Japanese film from 2000 of the same name, Battle Royale It follows a group of middle school children (16-20 maybe) that are trouble makers and classed as too unruly, and the government has nowhere else to put them.

The teenagers are forced to compete in a battle to the death after being dropped onto an island that has zones marked out on it, last one standing can leave the island. Sound familiar?

What is Fortnite Battle Royale?

Fortnite is an action game where you and 99 other players jump from a floating Hot Air “Battle Bus” (see the first 8 seconds of the trailer). You sky dive down onto an ever-changing island that is constantly evolving over time, you only have a glider and a pick axe to your name when you land.

The idea is to survive as long as possible by eliminating other players as quickly as possible. You can collect a huge range of guns, first aid kits and shield boosts to help you survive and win. At the same time as your fighting for that first place, a storm is coming, it starts of as a large circle around the island then every few minutes it closes in. If you are caught in the storm, you start taking damage, the longer the battle lasts, the higher the damage taken. Eventually the “safe zone” is the equivalent of less than 50meters.

The pinkish area is the storm, it will slowly close onto the white ring, this is the safe zone. We are currently at the white arrow, so we need to act fast before getting hit by the storm.

Epic, the game creators, keep the content fresh by constantly updating the landscape with new revamped zones/areas, new weapons and even new characters. But the biggest attraction seems to be the skins or characters that you can choose from.

Is Fortnite Free to Play?

Yes, technically its FREE. You can create an Epic Account (Select a account name carefully as this will be your name in the game or sometimes called “Gamertag”. Then install the Epic game launcher Select Fortnite from the huge list of games they have on offer and wait for it to download. Its currently about 30Gb so may take a while to download, so take this into account when getting setup.

Once you are up and running and logged in you can play for absolutely nothing, won’t cost you anything. I have played on and off for a few years now and still paid nothing.

What they do offer is In-Game Purchases. This is in the form of V-Bucks or just a direct payment via Credit Card in local currency.

What are V-Bucks?

V-Bucks are Virtual Bucks that can be purchased in-game with your local currency via a credit or debit card. Once you have your V-Bucks you can then purchase in-game items such a Fortnite skins, the Battle Pass or special item all from the Item Shop. Check out my guide to How to get FREE V-bucks in Fortnite for more info

What are Fortnite Skins?

Fortnite skins are basically outfits that your Avatar can wear. They are normally very topical at the point of release like when a new Star Wars films is released, they will release a Star Wars pack with Skins and items Star Wars themed. You can get Melee weapons, Themed Glider, back bling and emotes. All these costs anything from a few hundred V-Bucks to as much as 1000s of V-Bucks. Check out my guide to How to get FREE V-bucks in Fortnite for more info

What is the Fortnite Battle Pass?

The Fortnite Battle Pass will allow you to gain lots of extra goodies as you level through a season. The pass only lasts for the season you’re purchasing it in and then you will need to repurchase it again on a new season, so I would recommend buying one at the beginning of a new season to get the full benefits from it.

For 950 V-Bucks I think this is the best value for money from the In-game shop. As you level up by winning matches and completing Fortnite Quests to earn XP, more items will be available to you. Once you reach level 100 in the current season you will have all the items available to you that the Battle Pass offers. On the new season start you will need to purchase a new Battle Pass and you start again at level 1.

You will also need Battle Stars to help unlock items, Battle Stars are easy to achieve and are earnt during matches. Battle Stars are not normaly an issue when purchasing items via the Fortnite Battle Pass

Fornite Battle Pass Season 3 Chapter 4

You will find the Battle Pass in the Item Shop on the Main Lobby Screen. Checl out my How to Get FREE V-Bucks in Fortnite Guide before you make a purchase.

Below is the Chapter 3 Season 4 Battle Pass screen, as I am level 5 (first day) I wont have all the Battle Pass items yet, I will have to level up a bit to buy all the items with Battle Stars. As I don’t have the Battle Pass, I have a limited number of items I can buy, I will not get access to the cool Fortnite Skins like Darth Vader, but I will get low end items like spray paint, pick axes, songs and loading screen wallpaper. I may even get access to some FREE V-bucks

All 150 Fortnite Keybinds / Keyboard Controls Full List (Jan 2026)

Soggydan Fortnite, Fortnite Guides, Fortnite Keybinds 1 January 2026

Here are ALL 150 of the default Fortnite keybinds regardless of what game mode you’re playing in, what vehicle you are driving or even if you are in creative mode. Once you have the list presented like this it’s easy to learn the basic keybinds to get into the game quickly. There are a lot of keybinds that do multiple roles depending on your game situation, like the E key or the mouse buttons.

An alternative view of the list of keys can be found on one of my other pages Default PC Fortnite Keybinds group as you see it in the game settings area

Also, check out my guide for some Free V-Bucks, and some ways to get cheep V-Bucks

What Fortnite Keybinds do I need to know?

I would recommend getting comfortable with the movement keys, aiming and firing at first. Once you have this mastered then move onto the build keybinds.

These are the default keybinds you will find when you first install Fortnite. Once you have played for a while it is always worth looking at other keybinds like the top players use. Everyone is different so try a few setups until you find the one that works best for you.

Fortnite Keyboard Controls

On the in-game menu, under Settings you will find all the actions and what keys they are bound too. If a key doesn’t feel right to you, then change it to something that suites you better. You can always change it back to the original key if it doesn’t work for you.

Use the table below to search for a Key you are looking for or change the order the list is in by clicking the top table line in light blue.

What are Secondary Fortnite Keybinds?

In the keyboard controls area of settings, you can assign a 2nd keybind to an action. These are secondary keybinds meaning you can have 2 keys for one action if needed. There are not many keys assigned on this list but means you can try out a new location for an action without changing the primary key

Essential Fortnite Hints, Tips and Tricks of (2026)

Soggydan Fortnite, Fortnite Tips 1 January 2026

Fortnite Hints, Tips and Tricks can be for EVERYONE, no single player knows everything. With the island constantly in flux, new tricks are needed all the time. From complete noobs that have just started playing Fortnite to the more seasoned players that have been around for a while, we all need to get an advantage over the next player to get that Fortnite Crown

In-Gameplay Fortnite Hints, Tips and Tricks

There are general gameplay tips that will help you in your everyday battles. They are listed from easy with most impact to harder tricks that can take some time to master

Can you keep items in your tent
Instantly re-grow your Reality Saplings – Spawn more fruits
Health Hints, Tips and Tricks
Shield Hints, Tips and Tricks

Use 5.1 Surround Sound Headphones

Use head phones as much as possible, get a decent pair of DJ Style head phones that support 7.1 or at least 5.1 Surround Sound. Having supported head phones will mean you can tell the direction the sound is coming from. The overall sound quality is also improved over standard headphone or ear buds, like the ones used for smartphones. Do not use smartphone ear buds, these sound flat and will not give the best experience.

Enable the 3d Headphones in the Audio options. Navigate to the Settings menu and then Audio, check you have 3D Headphones on and your headphones are set to defualt.

Use a High DPI Mouse

Using a high DPI mouse (anything more than 600DPI) will give you the ability to decrease the mouse sensitivity in the Fortnite Mouse Settings and so give you better control over aiming. This does sound like in reverse but this is due to the higher DPI of a better mouse.

Defualt setting is about 28%, but with a 1600 DPI Mouse you may need to bring down to 10-11%

Turn on the Fortnite 3D Visualize Sound Effects

This is an option in the GUI, enabling this will give you a visual circle affect showing you where sound is coming from. Gun noise shows up as orange with a muzzle flash symbol while footsteps (players, NPC or creatures) are shown in white with small feet or an animal symbol

Collect a Long, Medium and Short-Range Weapon

Everyone has their own preference on weapon choice but it’s a good idea to have 1 from all 3 ranges available with you, after all, a sniper can get snuck up on and so needs a side arm or shotgun. I like to keep 3 slots for the 3 ranges and upgrade each one as I find better versions.

But… Always get a weapon of some sort quickly as soon as you land, then farm a few easy materials if you’re in build mode. So, you’re ready to fight if needed

Also check on How to Update the Preferred item Slots

Keep Heals and Shields to Hand

Not everyone’s play style but I like to keep a slot for Med kits and a slot for Shield buffs. Or if you find one, the double slot Chug Cannon! I also prefer small chug pots to large; they will only take you to 50% but after a battle, you can hide and they are faster to down than the large pots. Once you have left the area, you can find something to boost you back to 100%

Item Slots with Med Mist and Small Chug Pots

This is practicaly my favorite setup, in order Slot 1-5

Mid-Range – Assault Rifle
Close Range – One of the many Shot Guns or SMG
Long Range – DMR or Striker Burst Rifle
Shields – Mini Pots or Klomberry’s – Very Quick to each and will restore health first
HP – Medmist or 100% first Aid Kit

Stay on the Move

Standing or even kneeling still is almost signing your elimination papers. Also keep on the move, left, right, back, forward, especially if you’re looking out over the map toward some gun fire you have just heard. You never know when you’re in a sniper’s sights! Never stand still, unless you really have too, like healing etc in those cases find some cover, hidden away to med up.

Also keep om the move from location to location, have a plan in mind to get into the circle before the storm.

Don’t Run in a Straight Line

Just like staying on the move, don’t run in a line. Even if you think you are safe, someone is always around the corner with a sniper rifle ready to make your day very unhappy. Ziggy and Zagging when running away or in very open territory can save you.

Make Your Shots Count

Always make sure you can land your bullets and hit your target. Don’t over reach by using a Striker Burst where you should have used a DMR. This will just waste ammo and alert other players to your location. Every gun has pro’s and con’s, make sure you know them and use them accordingly.

Try not to panic as that rush of adrenaline pumps into your system, this is often a noob mistake and after some game time you will be able to relax and take it easy, it’s all about practice.

Always use controlled bursts when using any form of rapid-fire guns. SMG and Assault Rifles will unload pretty quickly and have you shooting everything but what you want to hit. Use small controlled bursts with 1 click of the mouse at a time.

Crouch to make your crosshair smaller and tighter so giving you a better aim

Pic of crouching with DMR

Use the Surrounding Terrain

Always check around you, try and stick to the high ground so you are looking down on other players. Use building, rocks, trees and tall grass to hide behind, check the damage on a rock or tree so you have an idea how long it may last if you are shot at.

Staying hidden is a sure way of staying alive, if you can’t be seen, you can’t be shot at.

Don’t Rush into a Fight

Sometimes it pays to hand back, don’t rush at another player as soon as you see them. Hang tight a while, see if anyone else is about, they may be looking for a spot to heal up. Then take your shots and ambush them. Head shot to a player while they are using a med kit to too funny.

This also goes for 2 other players fighting it out. Don’t rush into a fight with them, by all means hit both players from a distance with a DMR. Once you see both down with no shields then take them both out.

Learn Some Basic Builds

I play Zero Build as building is my weak area, I can never get the hang of builds but I am told by my son’s it’s something I need to work on. Some basic builds can get you out of trouble and will certainly help you escape an elimination.

Keeping Quite

I think this is one of the best things to get good at in Fortnite, being quiet.

If in a house or barn (wood is noisy) don’t auto-run, crouch, this keeps footsteps quiet and also makes you a smaller target
Keep sniper shots to max 3 then move position as fast as possible
Close doors behind you – this will not only reduce noise but an open door is a sign of activity
Try not to accidently shoot your gun, if you do, move fast to a new location

Keep an Eye on the Storm

Watch the map, the storm and the Storm timer. Pay attention to the relationship between the current storm and the new inner circle location. If you’re on the side of the safe zone that furthest from the storm, the storm will move faster on this side and you won’t be able to out run it.

You can see here that the safe circle I need to get to is off centre to the safe zone before. This means the side I am on will close in faster than the other side, so I have to move quickly.

Fortnite Storm Ring - Fortnite Hints — Fortnite Storm Ring – Fortnite Hints

Reload Weapons Soon as You Can

Soon as you can, reload your weapons, even if you on 10% health with no shields. If you can’t fight back your eliminated anyway!

After each battle:

Find a safe spot
Reload all weapons
Use med kit or health restorers
Use shield pots or eat fruit

Learn the Order you can Heal and Restore Shields

Different restore items will only restore to a certain level.

Bandages to 75% then the med mist can go to 100%
2 Small shield pots to 50% then 1 large shield pot to 100%

Fruit and Veg will also get you back upto 100% so if you see some close to you, pick it up and use it.

If you have/see a shield pot, use them if you are not 100%. These are no good in your inventory once you’re dead and even 10-20% can be the difference to being eliminated or eliminating your opponent.

If you have a large shield keg then throw this down and use a med kit/bandage at the same time to restore both HP and shield at the same time.

Best Fortnite Keybinds for PC – 2026

Soggydan Fortnite, Fortnite Guides, Fortnite Keybinds 1 January 2026

The best Fortnite keybinds are kind of a personal thing for everyone, a keybind layout for one person may not be great for another. The best approach is to try as many keybinds as possible, mix them up a bit, move them about a bit more, them change back until you find what works for you. Start off with the Fortnite Default Keybinds and change a key at a time.

Alternatively, you could try using a Pro-Gamers Keybind layout and see how you get on as a Pro! Carry on reading to find out more

Best Fortnite keyboard controls for Beginners

If you are a complete beginner, I would recommend playing with the default keys for a while, until you have got a grasp of game. During this time if there is a key that you feel is out of place, just doesn’t feel right or maybe you can’t reach that key very well, then change that one element. Play a few games and see how you get on, maybe you will need to change it again until it feels right.

Best Fortnite Keybinds

To improve your skills at Fortnite, you could look to the professional Fortnite players for inspiration, I have collected all the top players keybinds that openly shared they keybaord layouts and recorded them here. I would recommend reviewing all of the setups and then giving each one a trail run to see if it feels OK, once you find a setup that feels good, you now need to get Cracked at it!

NOTE: Take care when clicking on the RED X as this deletes the Keybinds for that row

How do I change the Fortnite Keybinds?

All the keybinds can be changed from within the Fortnite Menu system, follow these steps to find the Keybinds:

Hit Escape Key – to bring up the left side menu
Click the Cog Symbol – Near the Bottom of the side menu
Click Settings – At the top
Click on the 4 Arrow Movement Keys Icon (here shown in red square)

Fortnite Keyboard Menu Options

If you are looking for the best of the best Fortnite Keybinds then you have to look to the top players, the professionals. If these guys are cranking 90s at a rate that can’t be seen if your using a budget video card and there winning battles by the bus load then they must be doing something right.

Have a review of the best Fortnite keybinds the Pro-Players use, some of the Top Players I have listed below. Try some of the settings and see what works for you, there will be something that will give you that edge your looking for.

How do you reset Fortnite Keybinds to Default

Before changing any of the Fortnite Keybinds I would recommend you reset them to default or to one of the pre-sets. You do this by following the method above to get to the Keyboard Controls and at the top of the menu you should see KEYBAORD BINDING PRESETS for the pre-sets

Best Building Keybinds for Fortnite

Building is a huge part of Fortnite and its only recently that “Zero Build” has been introduced as an option for those players not liking the imaginary wall building aspect of the game, can’t see why…

Being able to build really fast and build what comes to mind is a skill in its own, i would recommend finding a Practice map on your own, best in creative that you can mess about in and try out some Keybinds. You could even create a practice map for yourself and friend to train in, undisturbed. Not all Keybind will suit all players so try out some of the professional players keybind listed below.

I have formated all the Best Fortnite Keybinds the same way so it should be easy to compare players together.

Post in the comments your Best Fortnite Keybinds!
