In order to claim this bonus, players would have to purchase a V-Bucks card from the Epic Games Store or a V-Bucks code from any nearby store or other retailers.
Fortnite: Hidden Mechanics in Chapter 5 Season 3
Fortnite is a game that's constantly evolving, and as such, players might have missed these hidden mechanics that could see them claim Victory Royale.
However, one needs to keep in mind that this offer is valid from March 18 to April 14, 2024, for gamers in countries where the bonus reward is applicable. Although, it will commence for Australia, Japan, and New Zealand on March 19 and end on April 14, 2024.
If players redeem a V-Bucks card before or after the given date, the bonus item will not be redeemable since the offer won't be active outside the given duration.
