This offer is renewed whenever a season comes to an end and is replaced with another Starter Pack with completely different cosmetics.

The Shaka Surfin’ Pack rotated onto the Item Shop the first week of Chapter 7 Season 1. It was like any other starter pack, featuring a cosmetic set and 600 V-Bucks. However, in a recent update, some players were able to purchase it and obtain 1,000 V-Bucks instead.

Only new Fortnite accounts can receive additional V-Bucks from purchasing the Shaka Surfin’ Pack. Epic Games has not disclosed how new an account must be for players to be eligible. However, in the past, it meant players who had an account for less than 30 days or players less than two hours during the same period of time. Other players will pay the same price but only be able to obtain 600 V-Bucks from the pack.

This offer is exclusive to the holidays and will only be available until December 26. After this, the pack will grant 600 V-Bucks to all players regardless of when they created their account.
