Fortnite Starter Pack, Bee Positive, is the best deal

The latest Fortnite Starter Pack has been released, and this one is the insect-themed Bee Positive Pack to tie in with the current bug invasion, which features a useful injection of virtual currency alongside some cool cosmetics for customizing your character's appearance. While it was previously the case that any content included in Starter Packs would remain exclusive, Epic has now added that caveat that items "may return in the future" to allow for them to appear in the Item Shop at a later date. However, it's unlikely the outfit and gear featured here will be repeated in the near future, so you shouldn't be too worried about that.

As with previous offerings, these packs are a great way to get hold of some additional V-Bucks for your account without wanting to splash out too much, as they feature some low-cost currency and items that can't be purchased from the main Item Shop. If you're thinking of investing and want some further details, then I've broken down all of the benefits you'll receive if you go ahead and buy the Bee Positive Pack.

The latest Fortnite Starter Pack, as mentioned, is the Bee Positive Pack which is live right now as part of Fortnite Season 4 in Chapter 6, and is available on every platform Fortnite can be played on. The Bee Positive Pack costs $4.49/£3.49 and will get you a solid budget of 600 V-Bucks for microtransactions in Fortnite, as well as the Polly outfit (with Lego Fortnite style), Sun Flower back bling, and Honey Scepter pickaxe. Read on to see what these items look like, and why the Starter Pack is a worthy investment of your money.

Fortnite Starter Pack - The Fortnite Bee Positive Pack

Even if you don't plan on equipping these new cosmetic items, this still represents a great value deal for in-game currency alone. There is now an officially set date for when this Fortnite Starter Pack will go off sale, so it will no longer be available as of November 4, 2025 at 1am local time. Therefore if you're considering a purchase, then don't wait too long before you commit.

I wasn't just guessing with that V-Bucks efficiency talk – here's how the math stacks up for each individual V-Bucks purchase Fortnite offers, taking into account total V-Bucks including "bonuses" for buying in bulk, and rounding to the nearest whole number:

13,500 V-Bucks for $89.99 is 150 V-Bucks per dollar
5,000 V-Bucks for $36.99 is 135 V-Bucks per dollar
2,800 V-Bucks for $22.99 is 122 V-Bucks per dollar
1,000 V-Bucks for $8.99 is 111 V-Bucks per dollar
600 V-Bucks for $4.49 is 134 V-Bucks per dollar

The ratios work out similarly for GBP and other currencies. As you can see, the Fortnite Bee Positive Pack gives you the most V-Buck buying power of any option under the 5,000 purchase – which is quite an investment in in-game currency, since you could also use that same amount of cash to buy a whole new game. Or perhaps just an irresponsible amount of pie, if you prefer.

The Fortnite Bee Positive Pack, on the other hand, is comfortably in "impulse buy" territory even without the Polly outfit (with Lego style) plus matching Sun Flower back bling and Honey Scepter pickaxe.

Do note that the Fortnite Bee Positive Pack can only be purchased once for each account, so it isn't an endless wellspring of in-game currency. And if you'd also like to buy the Battle Pass without grinding for the free Fortnite V-Bucks you occasionally earn, you'll still need to buy extra on top to reach the 1,000 V-Bucks asking price; in other words, if you're starting with this Fortnite Starter Pack, it won't actually save you any money on the Battle Pass. You can always use those extra V-Bucks to pick up more customisation items though, or put them towards buying the next season's Battle Pass!

Don't forget, if you're a PS5 or PS4 player and PS+ subscriber then you can also grab the latest Fortnite PlayStation Plus Emerald Gamer Pack , which is free and includes the exclusive Sage outfit (with Lego style), Silver Mind back bling, and Sage's Snap-Axe pickaxe. Hey, it's always nice to get a little bonus, right?
