I Spent $10,000 to PAY TO WIN in Fortnite! | Transcript:

Fortnite is now pay-to-win. As I've just loaded up over 50,000 V-Bucks, I can buy myself some crazy overpowered weapons, test my luck to see what I can get, or just straight-up cheat as I play five different Fortnite maps to see if paying to win really does work. Starting with none other than steal the brain rot. I have not played this in ages. I have a server lock and also a rainbow grande combinacion. Not bad. Normally, you just go ahead and buy something off the runway and bring it into your base, but that's slow. Because Mr. Job right here has a premium shop. If we go to the gear tab, I can get a pack which lets me put brain rots in a cage to protect them and a vault, which means I can store 10

brain rots. I keep throwing rebud. What? And even a neon slap. All right, the first thing I have bought ever in a creative map is about to be purchased. Woo! Look at my slap. And I can put this crate onto there. Boom. Can't be stolen. Always be mine, buddy. You want my grande combinacion? Think again. Never. All right, what else can I buy here? Ooh, VIP. 100% cash multiplier, VIP, 10-second cooldown. Yes, please. Look how it looks. Clean. You got a little VIP thing above my head. This is sick. And a lucky rot spawned in. I just get

better luck for buying VIP. We're not here for free stuff though. I'm here to buy stuff. Holy moly, this is expensive. Wait, so one is 2,300. That's one heaven lucky. One. Well, I'm going broke this video. The rarest thing being a heaven berini panini gardini at 0.2%. Okay. Let's buy one of those. Let's buy brain rot god. And let's buy a mythic because at least the mythics are really cheap. Okay, I'm buying a few. I'm buying more. Why not also increase the luck? Why not? You never know what could pop out while we're playing. You know what I mean? And one more secret. Dude, I've dropped like a like 10k V-bucks on

this one map. Just happened to get a mythic block off the runway. I'm going to save this cuz I don't know how it's on my account. Farin's the owner maybe put it there. I'm going to keep it anyway. Let's see if paying to win in Fortnite is really worth it. Start with the mythics and get them open. Ooh, rhino toasterini. We've also got a Okay, I'm guessing that one's not too rare. Three rhino toasterinis. Wait, is there stuff on my top floor as well? It's got to be full, right? My base is not as good as I thought it was. I feel like someone's reset me. I definitely had more in my base than that. But I mean, look at this. This is like my

best stuff already, pretty much. I've got millions printing. And my brain rot god's going to be even better. Trippy droppy 35 million. Bro. Okay, so the mythics I literally got the three worst things, but that's fine. Brain rot god, trippy droppy's not too bad, but a shovel would be better. And the secrets, I mean, you can't really go wrong with the secrets. You just don't want a duck. No duck, please. That's paying to win and still the brain rot work. I mean, I think this is a Whoa. Ch- ch- ch- ch- ch- I've got a literal chair, mate.

I mean, I'm printing money. I have literally trillions. This guy has made me 300 million in just a few seconds. Which leaves, ladies and gentlemen, secrets. These things are expensive. Please, can I get something good? This has cost me I've got a frog. 200 million a second. He's on a toilet. Bro, it's 10% chance for that one. That's actually sick. He's made me 25 billion. Now, this is crazy. Okay, that's some crazy luck, but I do have one more to open up top. Let's see what we can get with our 2,000 V-Buck lucky block.

It is a Pingus Kingus. I mean, that's pretty good. The great thing is now when I go to rebirth, I can use my cages to keep all of these new brain rots safe so I can keep them. Yeah, pay-to-win definitely works on this map. I put another crate on him. Oh, yeah, bro. This guy, you're not taking him, all right? Next up, it's super 1v1 free-for-all. This is my map with every weapon in the entirety of Fortnite ready to use, including custom secret weapons now with a shop. To join this map, just search the map code on screen or search super 1v1. So, come on in and play. You can not only purchase all of the secrets to unlock them

instantly, but we've also got some packs if you like to theme your unlocks. And as a VIP, bro, you can also get a butt ton of gold as well. That's crazy. Okay, let's start simple here. My favorite weapon is this, the Spazmatron. This item will permanently unlock and does over 9 billion trillion of damage. I'm not even joking. Just a fair warning, all the secrets can be unlocked for free through codes or secrets on the map, but if you just want to use it straight away like I do right now, I'm buying it. Boom! Look at this thing, bro! Okay, are you ready for this? I bet you've never seen a weapon like this in your life. You ready for this?

LOOK AT THIS DAMAGE! [screaming] NO ONE'S SURVIVING THAT. THIS has to be the most broken weapon I've ever used. What is that? It's a dragon, mate. Who wants to fight? Who wants to fight, buddy? You sure? What? LOOK AT THAT BILLION! I CAN GET TWO PEOPLE in one shot. What? 262 billion. I NEED THIS DRAGON CANNON ONLY GUN. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? OKAY, SO WE CAN unlock the Dragon Cannon only gun if we go over to the left side from spawn. Apparently, there's an island over here. Yo, there it is. Oh my goodness. It's a literal Dragon Island. If we interact with it, oh we're going to Dragon Island. That gun's going to be ours. Here we go. Okay, boom.

I can only up. Okay, this is going to be um not the easiest thing in the world. I'm locking in right now. We're going to make our way up the side of this mountain and at the top, the gun will be rewarded to us. Geez Louise, how much higher do I have to go? I This is giving me vertigo. Come on. I can sense it. I'm almost at the top of the mountain. MOUNTAIN OH, I'M ALMOST THERE. HOW DO I GET UP? AH! SO, once you're here, you can wait for the time. Wait, wait, wait, wait, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, don't shoot, don't shoot, don't shoot.

Don't shoot, buddy. I won't shoot if you don't shoot. He's got the VIP unlock. Dude, I need to check that out. Rather than waiting, I can cheat and purchase this for 100 V-bucks, skipping the timer, meaning your boy can instantly unlock the Dragon Cannon only weapon. It's like pay to save time. Boom! New weapon unlocked. Where is it? Dude, this guy is sick. I want to get VIP. I've not even got it on my own map. I'm not even joking. WOAH! [screaming] WHAT? OKAY, I need to give this a go. Look crazy. I'm killing this guy. You. Dragon Cannon only.

I'VE GOT DRAGON CANNON ONLY BACK. OKAY, that guy's got VIP. I want VIP. It gives you your name in the elimination feed, a custom gold scar, VIP and a golden totem. If you didn't know, on this map, I've not seen this on any other map before, there's a little flex area where you can flex all of your custom weapons to show them off. This VIP looks like he's got his own golden totem and I'm about to get one as well, baby. Load up them V-bucks. Lifetime rewards, extra coins per elimination, and an exclusive weapon. Oh, dude, I'm so excited for this. BABY VIP. [screaming] Look at this gun.

No, that's sick. Look, I've got both the dragon gun and the scar. If I come over here, I've got a golden totem. This is crazy. All right, let's give this gun a go. It will give me extra gold. By the way, is where I can spin this wheel and get access to custom weapons this way. You can get XP as well. All right, I want to see what happens when I kill someone in the feed. What does it look like? Oh. Oh, VIP. I'm gold. This is crazy. Oh, that's sick. Another VIP. Legend. Now, that seriously, if you buy anything on my map, thank you so much. You're actually incredible. And I mean, come on. Who doesn't want to be killed by

Dragonini Catalini? Look at that. 6,000 XP. Don't forget the fact that this map just has crazy XP as well. I'd say it's pay to get weapons easier, but considering they can all be unlocked for free, it's more pay to make your life easier, which I'm on board for. Go up for brain rots. I've actually never played this before, but it's absolutely blown up. So, if I just go ahead and pick this guy up, bring him back to my base. Easy. Just avoid all of the stuff coming out of these tunnels. All the basic stuff is at the bottom. How do I go up? I got a BVIP. Okay, I'm about to spend some money. These are literally my first ever brain rods. They're hot trash, but

in a moment I'm going to blow your mind, okay? Of course, there's a premium shop. Let's see what we got here. Starter pack, seems like the right place to start. 10 million, a mythic and a legendary. Yes, please, buddy. And just like that, my base is already so much better than it was. The money these guys are making 10k a second, none of this eight free second rubbish. Now I've got all that money, I can also upgrade my base. That was easy. And auto collect. I have to pay for that? Yeah, it's good, doesn't matter. I don't want to be collecting my own money. Now collect it for me. What is this over here? Secrets? Wants 10 trillion for it.

I'm here to pay to win. Doesn't matter if I've only just started playing. Look at this. 150 a second, we've got an e-sock. 4 million a second, buddy. Oh, I'm just so good already. I'm not going to lie, I'm a little bit addicted to being a VIP on all the servers I join. It's just looks so cool. More money and access to exclusive VIP only areas. Does that mean I can go up a level? Dude, I got it, I got it. Wait, so what else can I go here? Wait, how do you get all that there? What the heck? Wait, you really do go up. Oh, it's a place you can hide. Oh, you got to Okay, this makes sense, yeah. Okay, let's

let's let's get loads of jumping. Literally couldn't be jumping any higher if you if I tried. Loads of carrying. Okay, now here we go, lads, watch this. Yeet! Oh my goodness me. Yeet! Bro, I'm going all the way up. This is a hack. I make it to the top. I'm not sure if I can go straight to the top or not, but your boy can go ridicu- What's Look at that. NO! WAIT. I can pay money to revive? Oh my god. Thank goodness. I was about to lose out and look at that guy. Where did it go? Godly, can I get all the way up to the other one?

Not quite. It's going to respawn. Wait. Oh, I should have paid money. Dude, okay. I'm addicted already. Okay, if I buy 5 billion of cash. Wait, how do I get to the top floors? Rebirth 14. I can carry. Whoa, okay. So, let's see. If I want my this to go up plus 10. So, it only got It goes up 10 levels. Okay. Man, that's quite expensive, isn't it? But, I mean, I'm I'm actually too poor to buy it normally. All right, let's see how high up we can go now.

Hiding in the VIP bit. Let that go by. Without the VIP hiding bit, I would have been cooked in the books there. Oh god. You can avoid it. Got the skills to pay the bills. I'm hiding here. VIP privileges, baby. Oh, come on. Oh my god, I can just get up. If I can get Oh, the Dindins got run over. Get this bad boy. Oh my god, hide. Jeez Louise. Now, bro, I'm carrying multiple brain bots. Boom, this is insane. Oh, was it a bot? Oh my god, it's a secret. I'm sure that's a secret. Godly. Yes. My god, this is insane. Can I go up from here? I think this is the max I can get to.

Oh god, okay. I'm yeeting all the way back down. I'm taking my yield back to my base. I think I just got to yeet over the end line here and we're safe. None of this common rubbish. Boom! You know what? It's not as crazy pay-to-win as I thought it would. It's enough to definitely get you hooked though, I'm not going to lie. Let's see how much money I'm collecting now, baby. I've got my auto collector. So, if I just go stand on my auto collector, will it collect all of it? Is it collecting my money?

I think it is. I just think I'm so rich I can't actually see my money going up. I can see why people are addicted to this game. It is pay-to-win, especially with the VIP hiding areas. But, it's still playable without it. It's time to play box PvP, and this also looks to have custom weapons. And there is, of course, a shop. I can get damage boost, speed boost, sui sword. What the heck? All right, let me just try and kill someone normally. Is this me doing this? Was that a custom weapon? THIS PERSON'S FLYING.

They've got extra health, for sure. What in the memes is going on? What is going on? WHAT IS THIS? WHAT IS GOING WHAT IN THE meme is this? Oh my I can be an angry bird, or speed brother. What the heck? All right, screw it. I'm going to get damage boost. This better be permanent. Why is there a Minecraft sword there? Is that legal? Speed boost. Oh my god, my feet. That's hilarious. It's like Sonic feet. Extra health, definitely, and fly mode. Why not? Okay, let's let's see how ridiculous this is. I can Oh my god, I can literally Yeah, I Oh my god. This is It's People are playing

to PvP, and I am Whoa. What are these memes, bro? Am I dead? Oh, he's challenged me to a one-v-one. And he's being cooked in the box, baby. I'm coming in. Shotgun. Oh. I can fly. I'm going to fly away into your box. Okay, you can pay to win, but you can still lose. Okay, I'm sorry. There's no way I don't play this map and buy this suui sword. Unlock the suui sword for this session. So, wait. I actually don't keep all of these buffs forever. It's only for this game. Okay, that's very pay to win. Rather, what have I just purchased?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING last one? Okay, I'm boxed up by Shrek. I want to use the SUUI SWORD, PLEASE. [screaming] OH! THIS PERSON'S LITERALLY AMONG US. Oh my god, it's so broken. You can run, but you can't hide. damage? It's not quite the 6 billion that my shotgun did on my map, but it is very broken when partnered with all of these movements. Where's all my stuff gone? WHERE'S MY SUUI SWORD? SOMEONE JUST STOLE MY SUUI SWORD. GIVE IT BACK. [screaming] THAT'S MINE. WHAT? How did I lose it? Okay, there's this mythic button. Unlock 67. What's this? Revolver that finishes a player instantly with 67. Okay. Well, I feel like my V-bucks are going down the drain, but it's going to be worth it.

Look at me. I am literally the 67 kid. Let's see. Now, want to challenge me? Are you still my suui sword? Yeah, there you go. Get 67. Is that one use? I only get to use it once? I'm not going to lie, it's fun, but you don't get to keep Oh, wait. No. No. Hold. Chill. Go. Chill. It's right there. Here we go. It's still for this section only, so I better make good use of it. Wait, wait, what? Wait, what the We got destroyed. Revenge 67. Revenge See you. I can kill people in their bases. Wait, that seems a bit broken. Okay, this is so pay-to-win. It's insane. This is only up but with cars.

Holy moly. Look at these vehicles. We've got a duck car. We've got a tongue car. Can I buy it? No. Wow, I need to straight up get a win. Okay. Oh, look at this thing. Okay, there's a shop. That's all that matters. Beat the map. Teleport to the final section. 95% complete. Revive, boogie bombs. Okay, now we're talking. Throw them at players to launch their cars. Oh boy, this is hilarious. So, we can basically pay to troll. Okay, I feel a little bit bad about doing this, but let's let's try and play normally for the moment to see what the game's all about first.

Okay, so we make our way up the mountain. Seems nice and simple. Will be it probably quite difficult. Okay, I want to I'm going to troll one of these guys. Oh my gosh. Okay, look. You think he survived? Oh, I did still on. See you. Get out of here. The whole lobby's going to absolutely hate me if I'm just trolling everyone. Hey, that's what I'm here to do. I'm here to spend V-bucks, baby. And if the V-bucks means trolling people, that's what I'm going to do. Not going to lie, this is way more fun than I thought it is. I'm only 7% of the way up, but again, when I was trying to do that parkour earlier to have not the dragon candle only, I ain't too hot on heights.

I wonder if I can troll someone coming up here. What? Oh, what? Is it cuz I got out of my car? Oh, you can't get out of your car for too long. Damn. Boogie bombs just sounds so trolly. And just in case someone trolls me back, I'm going to get some revive tickets. And then you know that I need to buy the beat the map button. But it does say that if you mess up the final section, cuz it puts night it puts you 95% of the way there. Wait, what the heck? What's he doing going over there? Does he know something that I don't? Is there something over here? What that was stupid.

I've got to catch some people up to troll them. Oh my god. Okay, well, I'm going to need those revives. What happens now then? Doesn't even give me the option to revive. I paid for my revives. Where are they? I think this is honestly all about slow and steady wins the race. Not really about being super quick. Oh, I BOOGIE BOMBED MYSELF. OKAY, I'M very bad [clears throat] at trolling on this map. Okay, it's got to be done. I'm buying. If I mess this up, I am quitting Fortnite forever. Okay, let's see what

happens. Beat the map acquired. How do I use it? Oh, oh my god. Okay, well, okay, well, this is it. That's I'm 95% of the way here. This better be the easiest 5% of the map. I'm not even joking. I'm actually very scared. Slow and steady does the race. I'm I'm not even going to look at where we are. This looks insane. If anyone's ever got here legitimately, you're actually an incredible driver. This will be for my very first win. I do have respawn tokens, but they didn't seem to be working, so I don't think I trust them. I've never focused so much in my life.

I'm actually scared. I'm not joking, guys. I'm not even joking. Why? No. Okay, if I fall down here, I think I'm okay. I don't go all the way to the bottom. Come on. YES. CONGRATULATIONS. Don't do it. Okay, what happens if I go into the portal? What happens if I go into it? YES! [screaming] I GOT the Tung car! Life complete!

Haha, that is very pay to win cuz I would never be reaching the top of the island otherwise. Guys, let me know, have you ever spent V-bucks in a Fortnite map? If you want to play my map, Super 1v1 free-for-all, the map code is right here. You can unlock all the guns for free or pay a little bit of money to use some of the most broken weapons ever in Fortnite. Mate, it's so much fun. I hope you enjoyed this video. I think it's safe to say Fortnite probably is pay to win now.
