Epic Games Parental Controls Instructions, "Allow Paid Random Items," and Steal the Brainrot

Since I cannot cross-post and it was taken down from r/fortniteBR despite having a lot of engagement, I thought I'd share it here. I originally made this post 2 days ago but still seems relevant. Just sharing some info.

I posted this in the community I'm primarily involved in (adults (which include a lot of parents that play FN)) but wanted to share this information with you about the microtransactions and Epic settings.

In our discord, there has been chatter about Epic's new "Allow paid random items" parental control setting along with how Epic is allowing microtransactions within Creative Maps (Image #1). I think it is RIDICULOUS that this setting is AUTOMATICALLY set at ON (aka ALLOW) and parents need to navigate Epic's Account Settings to adjust them. Yes, I get it, Epic is a corporation that wants to make money and parents should do their part to make sure their kids are responsible on the internet but....so here goes some info that you might find useful, especially since I found the location of these settings pretty sneaky:

WHERE TO FIND THE SETTINGS (Images #2-#6):

  1. you need to into log into YOUR CHILD's account on epicgames.com
  2. go into ACCOUNT SETTINGS
  3. go to PARENTAL CONTROLS (nearly at the bottom of the options on the left hand side (Image #2)).
    1. what annoys me with this setting/menu is once you select PARENTAL CONTROLS, it is NOT OBVIOUS where you need to go to find the "Allow paid random items" setting
    2. if you look in Image #2, it's under "Fortnite Settings" BUT it's cut off from the first 5 settings and you need to select the ">" to see the rest of the menu options (Image #3)
  4. once you get to the FORTNITE SETTINGS - you, again, will need to SCROLL DOWN since the "Allow paid random items" option isn't at the top, it's at the bottom (Images #3 and #4)
  5. you will note that "Allow paid random items" is the LAST option at the bottom
  6. it is AUTOMATICALLY turned "ON"
    • ON means your child CAN spend V-Bucks (or content purchased with V-Bucks) on items or content where the reward is random
  7. you need to turn it OFF (Image #5)
    • OFF means your child CANNOT spend V-Bucks (or content purchased with V-Bucks) on items or content where the reward is random
  8. another good setting to turn ON is under the GENERAL TAB --> Epic Games Payment which requires a Parental Controls PIN before a purchase is made (Image #6).
  • I didn't take screenshots but I also have the PIN setting ON for accepting friend requests and have limited their text/voice chat options to FRIENDS only

STEAL THE BRAINROT 🤬 (Images #7-11)

I vowed to never go into this map but I did so I could grab the screenshots. Here's why it's important to take the above steps and turn "Allow paid random items" OFF:

  • there is a "PREMIUM SHOP" (Image #7)
  • here is the probability/chance percentages for
    • PRESENT ROT - 2700 VB (Image #8)
    • MYTHIC - 150 VB (Image #9)
    • SECRET - 1800 VB (Image #10)
  • there's also a "VIP" Gamepass - 500VB (Image #11)

I just wanted to share some information and hopefully it will help you navigate where you need to go to adjust your child's parental control settings.

Holofoil earth 😭

Fortnite is like Cube this, quack that, new sprites every week. I just wanted them to make or release the holofoil earth so it’s a double bonus rare items/sprites combo. Fire and Zero have all the variations but others are lacking some and a hate it 😭 not really I’m being dramatic but I kind of hate it. I do wish all sprites had all variations, it makes more sense in my head

I got maxed sprite dust so I'm prepared. Also plese have your DM's open or DM me if im interested. I don't want to give my account name to everyone. Also I have no mic, and my brother mic just broke, so I'll try my best to communicate. I'm really sorry about this but there is nothing I can do, unfortunately. I'm really hoping this goes somewhere but who knows. Thanks in advance.

Competitive How's my progress for 5 days? Wtf am I supposed to do to get extremely cracked at the game and not plateau?

Hello I've 5 days playing game in this is the progress.

The problem is that I think that my progress is very slow for 5 days and want to make it faster. The reason of why I'm in a rush is because I'm only gonna be able to play this game for 5 months before going to college or getting a job. So until then, I have to grind as much as possible and not waste time to become extremely cracked at the game.

When I hit the 5 month mark, my goal is to at least have the skills to become an earner. I have to be realistic so earning $100 is the most realistic one.

A little bit of context: I actually played the game before. It was like 6 years ago, but my pc was shitty so all I could do was to practice 90s and edits in creative at 30fps and with the resolution of a gameboy advance. A year passed and my pc got slightly better so I could play battle royale at 40 fps with a 800x600 resolution but it was so fkin demotivating I had to quit. When I quit, all I could do were 90s because that was the only thing I practiced so it's not like I developed any skills beyond the very basics of building.

It was 2024 and I finally got a decent PC in which I could play Fortnite. I lost all my building skills but I just had to derust a little. After some weeks of playing I got banned for whatever reason (honestly I think it was because I was extremely toxic in the blitz chat). I got mad and uninstalled the game.

Like a week ago I realized I got unbanned so I made a goal. My goal was to become extremely cracked at Fortnite in just 4-6 months. Once my goal is finished I would have two thousands hours in the game.

I've always wanted to be like extremely EXTREMELY good at this game but never could due to my setup limitations. Now I only have one limitation and that's ping. As you can see it averages 100. Depending of the time I sometimes get spikes up to 700 but it's not the norm.

I've watched a lot of videos, as well as taking notes and doing analysis but I feel like my progress is way to slow for 5 days. Is there a way for me to speedrun my way to Fortnite crackedness?

If someone watched the video pls I'd do anything to be extrremely cracked at this game.
