Overview
When a Cosmetic Item is altered in Fortnite: Battle Royale, the item is offered for a refund to any player that bought it prior to the change. As players purchased the item with a specific use in mind, any changes to it can lead Epic Games to offer a full refund without using a Refund Ticket.
Description
Description[]
Sometimes a cosmetic item is altered by the developers due to an issue, an unintended addition to the item, or a real-world controversy. As such, players who purchased the item can refund it free of charge, to get the exact amount of V-Bucks back. Players have 30 days to refund an item free of charge.
Sometimes items also also priced differently, and players will be refunded the difference in price.
Furthermore, some items can be removed from sale, and as such are forcibly refunded.
