How much is 950 V-Bucks in?

The Short Answer:

950 V-Bucks equals $9.50 USD. With 1,000 V-Bucks costing $9.99, 950 V-Bucks comes out to just under $10 of real-world money.

V-Bucks Pricing Breakdown

Let‘s start by looking at the tiers of V-Bucks packages available in Fortnite and their cash value in USD:

As you can see, the base package is 1,000 V-Bucks for $10. From there, the packages increase in size and value.

This means 1 V-Buck equals around 1 cent ($.01 USD). So 950 V-Bucks comes out to $9.50 in cash money.

What Can You Buy With 950 V-Bucks?

In the Fortnite Item Shop, 950 V-Bucks gives you a moderate amount of purchasing power. Here are some examples of what 950 can buy:

• 1 Legendary skin (2,000 V-Bucks)
• 1 Rare Emote (500 V-Bucks)
• 3 Epic pickaxes or gliders (800 V-Bucks each)
• Battle Pass for 1 season (950 V-Bucks)

As you can see, 950 V-Bucks affords enough for a couple of mid-tier items like gliders or pickaxes, or a single high-end skin. Or you can use 950 to buy the current Battle Pass and unlock all 100 tiers of rewards.

Comparing 950 V-Bucks to Other Packages

How does the 950 V-Bucks amount stack up against other denominations? Here‘s a quick comparison:

1,000 V-Bucks – At $10, this small package gives you slightly more V-Bucks for your buck compared to the 950 needed for the Battle Pass. But the extra 50 V-Bucks only gives you a tiny bit more purchasing power.

2,800 V-Bucks – This mid-sized package is the best deal when comparing V-Buck amounts to real money. You get nearly 3x as many V-Bucks for less than 3x cost. Great for big Fortnite fans.

5,000 V-Bucks – The second largest package size, this amount affords many more skin and accessory purchases for about $40. Much more buying power than 950.

13,500 V-Bucks – The $100 mega-package gives you over 10x as many V-Bucks as the 950 tier. Ideal for the serious Fortnite fan willing to spend big!

So while 950 V-Bucks gives you a nice amount for getting your Battle Pass fix, stepping up to to higher tiers gives substantially more purchasing options.

Tips for Savvy V-Bucks Spending

As an experienced Fortnite player myself who‘s bought many a V-Bucks package, let me share a few pro tips:

• Wait for sales on bigger packages to maximize your V-Buck haul.
• Don‘t blow all your V-Bucks on one expensive skin – spread them around.
• Prioritize limited-time cosmetics you really love over standard Item Shop fare.
• Use sites that track skin rarity to find exciting new looks.
• Take advantage of free promo V-Bucks during events and tournaments.

Following this advice lets you make the most out of every V-Buck, whether it‘s your free starter V-Bucks or some hard-earned V-Bucks from gameplay and quests.

Ongoing Updates Related to V-Buck Pricing

In recent Fortnite news, Epic Games introduced a monthly subscription called Fortnite Crew that nets subscribers 1,000 bonus V-Bucks on top of other perks. This signals an interesting value-added model that could evolve over time.

We may also see more opportunities to earn free V-Bucks through promos, tournaments, and in-game quests as Epic continues finding ways to engage and reward players.

Of course, I‘ll be reporting on any news of new ways to get V-Bucks or changes to real-money prices right here on the blog!

The Bottom Line

At the end of the day, 950 V-Bucks gives you solid Fortnite purchasing potential at a reasonable $9.50 value. It‘s enough for a Battle Pass or a couple of mid-tier goodies.

For the well-rounded Fortnite fan looking to regularly unlock Battle Passes and the occasional new accessory, 950 is a nice nominal V-Buck amount to target. And for my fellow fanatics out there going all-in on skins and emotes, consider ramping up to the higher tiers!
