Loot Llama Piñatas



Loot Llama Piñatas are one of the main ways in the game to acquire any of the heroes, guns, traps and/or survivors that you will need to progress throughout your journey in Fortnite Save the World. They can be obtained by spending V-Bucks, Epic's in game currency, using the collection book or as various in game rewards. V-Bucks can be acquired in game by completing missions and quests. They can also be purchased through the store front.

As such a vital part of the game process it is important to understand just what differences there are between all the different llamas. There are a lot of different options available to you and not all llamas are created equal. Llama choices are also limited.

There are four main categories of loot llama piñatas in Fortnite Save the World. They are Standard llamas, Event llamas, Rotating llamas and Collection Book llamas. Some of these Llamas qualify as X-Ray Llamas, allowing you to see the contents inside before you buy them. Let's take a look at all the different llama types below.

X-Ray Llamas

Seebot didn't see this one coming! Epic Games changed the game on January 29th, 2019 with the addition of X-Ray Llamas to the Item Store in patch 7.30. These unprecedented llamas actually allow you to see the contents inside before you buy them! That's not a typo. You actually get to see what is inside before you purchase the items. That's amazing!

The X-Ray Llamas appear one at a time. They include your standard Upgrade Llamas and the Rotating Llama of the day. The Upgrade Llamas will refresh when the Item Store refreshes, to offer you a different option daily.



Standard Llamas
