Like Dill Bits, more valuable than Gold Bars, but with a major twist:
💰 You can convert into VBucks!
That’s right — finish a match with Fortereum in your inventory, and the game will automatically grant you extra VBucks. A clear nod to Ethereum, Fortereum now holds real in-game value.
Where to Find Token?
Unlike Gold Bars, which are common in most chests, is much rarer. You can acquire it in two ways:
🔥 In Old Soda Machines
Yes, the soda machines that were once a staple on the map are making a return! Their appearance is random, though, so no one knows where they’ll pop up next.
⚔️ Take New Coin from Defeated Enemies
Defeat an opponent who already has Fortereum, and the coins will automatically be added to your inventory.
