OK my young son started playing Fortnite recently, and I've already dropped like $200 on different skins and whatnot. He's telling me that in a couple weeks when Version 5 is released, that all of the stuff I've bought will be erased and he'll have to buy all new stuff. Is this accurate?

that is not accurate. You will get to keep everything you have. However you will have to repurchase the battle pass if you want($5 or $10-cant remember). doing that will let you complete the challenges to unlock the season 5 skins. but you keep everything you already have. and you are not forced to get the battle pass

If he buys some more skins it will make him better. Better plop down another $300.

He buys skins, emotes, back blings, gliders (???) -- I don't know anything about it. He just tells me it will help him. I'm just a pushover

Your son is trading skins for hookers and blow.

100% cosmetic. Zero impact on gameplay. Most of the skins and items can be obtained through gameplay as long as you have the battle pass.

Your kid is working you over.

No it is 100% cosmetic. Let me guess he does the fortnite dances everywhere he goes too?

Another thing: our next-door neighbor came over and said there was a glitch and he got 5000 V-bucks for free. I told him I didn't believe him, and was thinking that perhaps he accidentally charged his parents' cc twice. What do you guys think?

Maybe. 1,000 vbucks are $100 I think.

ETA: correction 10,000 vbucks are $100.

Meh, like 6 skins a season. Sure you can get a bunch of emoticons though.

Much more skins and emotes for sale daily in the vbuck store. They are making a killing.
