There's a lot of cool stuff to purchase in the Fortnite Item Shop. Epic Games is constantly rotating new items into the shop, ensuring there's always something new for you to try.

What You Need

  • Fortnite

  • Return Ticket

The answer is a bit complicated. Fortnite uses a Return Ticket system that lets you refund select purchases. Your account initially comes with three Return Tickets. Return Tickets are accrued at a rate of one every 365 days, with your account holding a maximum of three tickets.

If you need help with the process, here's how to use your Return Tickets to refund Fortnite skins.

Step 3: From here, you'll be shown a list of items that are eligible for a refund. You'll also see how many Return Tickets are left for your account.

Step 4: Choose the item you want to return, then follow the on-screen prompts.

Step 5: That's it! Your account will be credited with the appropriate amount of V-Bucks. Keep in mind that most items can be returned within 30 days of purchase using a Return Ticket, while you can cancel in-game cosmetic purchases within 24 hours if they've yet to be equipped.

What if I can’t get a refund in Fortnite?

It’s important to note that there is a limitation on what items you can refund in the game. You can refund cosmetic items like skins, outfits, emotes, parachutes, and so on. These aren’t just limited to the skins that you purchase in the item shop. But you can’t refund skins or any of those other items you earned through unique events, challenges, or Battle Pass. The rule of thumb is, if you didn’t spend money or V-Bucks directly on the skin, then you can’t refund it.

You can’t refund the Battle Pass itself, so be absolutely sure you really want it before spending money on it. Additionally, you can’t refund purchases on V-Bucks. This is the virtual currency that is used to buy cosmetic items in Fortnite, and while you can refund skins for V-Bucks, you can’t refund V-bucks for real-world money.

Where to find Vendetta Flopper in Lego Fortnite

The fishing update to Lego Fortnite added, you guessed it, the ability to fish once you've made yourself a rod. Of course, since fish didn't exist in the game before this, an entire school of undersea life needed to be created. Every fish you can catch has a different benefit, from restoring a bunch of health when you eat it to giving you some kind of buff. The rarest and most useful fish is certainly the Vendetta Flopper, making it the most coveted catch in the game. While fishing is still heavily dependent on luck, you won't even have a chance at this fish unless you know where to cast your line.
Where to find the Vendetta Flopper

Before you even attempt to attempt this legendary catch, make sure you're ready with an Epic fishing rod and Epic Bait Bucket to give yourself the best chance at a rare catch. The nest step is to only cast into the glowing purple zones that indicate the presence of rare fish. Fishing in any other part of the water won't yield the Vendetta Flopper we're after.

No survival game is complete without the ability to fish, which was why it was so odd that Lego Fortnite launched without this option. Thankfully, that has been rectified in an update, and we finally have a use for all those large bodies of water around the world. Games handle fishing in a few ways, but in this case, you just need to get yourself a rod and set up near some water to collect all the fish you can cook and eat. Of course, you can't just find a rod. Being a crafting game, you will need to make your own, and we've got the recipe for you so you can get right to fishing.
