Epic Games had recently announced a monthly subscription service named Fortnite Crew, through which players could avail some exclusive rewards for a trifling $11.99/month. These include the current season’s Battle Pass, 1000 V-bucks, and an exclusive crew pack.

It comes as no surprise that this service has been a tremendous hit up till now. Even though the community had contrasting opinions on this month’s Green Arrow skin, Galaxia was undoubtedly an irresistible deal.

In a recent blog, Epic Games laid out the roadmap for making Fortnite Crew “an even better experience month in and month out”.  From an exclusive “Thank You” emote to new skins in February, the players certainly have a lot to look forward to.

Is being a crew member worth it?

Players around the world had heavily scrutinized the latest Fortnite Crew pack. The Battle Pass for Chapter 2 Season 5 was already a part of the previous month’s subscription; hence, it only arrived with the Green Arrow set and a 1000 V-bucks. To worsen the situation, the Green Arrow wasn’t an original skin, but a depiction of the popular superhero from DC comics.
