Might be a useful reminder for those that don't play as often or don't visit the item shop frequently:
It’s been no secret that over the past 24 hours we’ve been experiencing issues with our services that have prevented many of you from playing Battle Royale and Save the World. We’re sorry. We know how frustrating this has been.
We messed up here. As thanks for being awesome and patient, we’re doing the following:
For Battle Royale players, this weekend we’ll be offering a Back Bling gift that you can pick up in the store for free.
For our Save the World folks, this weekend we will be offering a Troll Stash Llama in the loot tab for free.Next week, we will be granting a pack of Battle Stars to our Battle Royale players and Seasonal Gold to the Save the World players. This will require brief additional downtime, so we will be including it as a part of our planned update next week.

These are just in game items for the respective game titles. Fortnite: Battle Royale (PVP) is free and Fortnite: Save the Word, costs money (Standard Edition) (PVE). Normally such in game items costs V-bucks (mainly real money > in-game currency), the Troll Stache Llama is worth 500 V-bucks currently and cosmetics like the back bling offered here can often be 500+ V-bucks.
We granted 1600 seasonal gold as a thanks for your patience during our extended downtime last week. There is currently an issue where the gift box may not appear on your first log in, the gold is still granted and the box will appear on relaunch. (You will not receive double seasonal gold). You may need to access the Event Store for the gold to pop up.
Also, beginning at 8pm (ET) we’re going to be granting one free “Into the Storm” Llama every day from 4/19/2018 to 4/22/2018. These llamas will not stack and will rotate out when the new one rotates in. Remember, you MUST log in and collect your free llama each day to get them all.
