Epic Games has rolled out a new hotfix for Fortnite, ushering in the much-anticipated "Bargain Bin Week." This event is a golden opportunity for players to snag items, weapons, and services at half the price, using the in-game currency - Gold Bars.

Fortnite's Bargain Bin Week Rolls Out

From Exotics like the Shadow Tracker whose price has been slashed from 400 to 200 Bars, to NPC services like Hiring which now costs 50 Bars down from 100, it's a bargain bonanza that's hard to resist.

Bargain Bin Week is not just about discounted prices; it's a call to action for players to spend their Gold Bars. Historically, the number of Gold Bars in players' inventories would reset with the onset of a new season.

However, a change last season saw this tradition interrupted, and now it seems Epic Games is encouraging players to earn and spend Gold Bars before this season concludes​.

Massive Discounts In Fortnite

The festivities kicked off on October 24 and will most likely run until the end of the season. During this period, all bar prices are discounted by 50%, covering a range of items and services.

Exotic Weapons

  • Shadow Tracker: 200 Gold Bars (-50%)
  • Heisted Accelerant Shotgun: 400 Gold Bars (-50%)
  • Run 'n' Gun SMG: 400 Gold Bars (-50%)

NPC Services

  • Hire: 50 Gold Bars (-50%)
  • Reveal Storm Circle: 87 Gold Bars (-50%)
  • Prop Disguise: 37 Gold Bars (-50%)
  • Rift: 125 Gold Bars (-50%)

Upgrade Weapons

  • Common: 50 Gold Bars (-50%)
  • Uncommon: 125 Gold Bars (-50%)
  • Rare: 187 Gold Bars (-53%)
  • Epic: 250 Gold Bars (-50%)

Mending Machines

  • Patch Up: 50 Gold Bars (-50%)

The Bargain Bin Week quests revolve around spending Gold Bars, with the island's purchasable items, weapons, and services all being offered at a roughly 50% discount, making everything much more accessible to players​​.

So, if you've been hoarding Gold Bars, now is the perfect time to splurge and get the most bang for your buck in Fortnite's Bargain Bin Week.
