Gold is a new currency introduced in Fortnite Season 5. Players can use this currency to do cool things during matches. You don’t need to spend real money to get gold; you have to earn it through gameplay. You can use these bars with the new NPCs added to the map by Epic. However, if you’re not familiar with other battle royale games, this might be confusing for you.
In this guide, we’ll explain what gold bars are, what you can do with them, and how to get them, making it clear why they are one of Season 5’s most interesting changes.
How to Get Gold Bars in Fortnite
Gold bars are in-game currency that can be used to purchase and upgrade weapons from NPCs. You can also hire NPCs scattered around the map as your bodyguards using gold bars.
The gold bars you earn during a match are persistent, meaning you can use them in future matches if you save them up.
Gold bars can’t be purchased with real money. You earn them by completing short quests, bounties, picking them up from eliminated players, or finding them in safes and furniture.
You can also earn smaller amounts of gold bars by completing short challenges, which you can get from NPCs and bounty boards. These challenges might involve finding a certain number of weapons or items like tomatoes or fries.
