The payment is in response to “Loot Llamas” that were found within the popular shooter’s PvE campaign until at least 2019. The items in question featured randomised rewards rather than a clear indication of what a player would receive. “We’re dropping 1000 V-Bucks into the accounts of all players globally who bought a random item Loot Llama in STW before we stopped offering them,” Epic Games said on the Fortnite Twitter account. “No action needed, if you purchased this item you should see the V-Bucks in your account over the next few days.” A second tweet linked the move back to the Loot Llamas.
