Although Fortnite is known for its Battle Royale mode, its cooperative counterpart “Save the World” remains, in 2026, one of the most effective methods to obtain V-Bucks without paying. Less publicized, this mode offers missions every day time-limited alertwhich can relate between 30 and 150 V-Bucks depending on the occasion.
This January 27, a unique mission allows us to recover 50 V-Bucksprovided you have access to PvE mode, accessible via purchase or founder’s pack. The mission in question is located in the area Twin Peaksunder the objective “Obtain the data”. Infinity Area indicates that the reward is obtained on the map Route 99 Bunkerand only remains available during the day. “These V-Bucks alerts only last 24 hours.”
An accessible technical challenge, but not to be missed
Unlike V-Bucks available through the Battle Pass or direct purchase, Save the World V-Bucks require a little more involvement, but require no additional purchase if you own the mode. The principle is simple: launch today’s alert mission, fulfill the conditions of the objective, and automatically receive V-Bucks once the mission is completed.
To access this January 27 mission, you must have progressed enough to unlock Twine Peaks, the fourth region of the PvE campaign. This means that you will need to have completed the Stonewood, Plankerton and Canny Valley story arcs. “Complete the mission as soon as possible so as not to miss it.”
