Fortnite Cosmetic Item and V-Bucks Refund System is Returning

Back in April, Epic Games had added a cosmetic refund system for Fortnite Battle Royale that allowed players to return cosmetic items for V-Bucks. The Fortnite cosmetic V-Bucks refund system only allowed players to obtain a refund for cosmetic items that had been bought in the last 30 days. Everything from skins to back blings and gliders were eligible to be refunded for V-Bucks, but the system was a tad too popular with Fortnite players. This caused Epic Games to remove the feature from Fortnite due to the overuse of the system.

However, today Epic Games support staff begun to send out emails confirming that the returning Fortnite feature will be making its way back to the popular battle royale title on June 1st. 

In the email announcing the return of the Fortnite cosmetic refund system, it is stated that players will now be allowed to refund 3 items for V-Bucks in a lifetime that were purchased within the last 30 days of the refund request. The items that will be eligible for refunds include emotes, gliders, harvesting tools, back bling and outfits. Items purchased after May 1st will be available to be refunded for V-Bucks once the system is added back into the game. 

It looks as though Epic Games has decided to put a limit on how many refunds for V-Bucks that players will be able to claim in order to avoid the overloaded system problem that the developer faced when it introduced the system for the first time. 

With the return of the refund system, players will soon be able to get those valuable V-Bucks back on any impulse purchases that they may be currently regretting.
