My screen went quiet when the streamer rolled up in matte black and gold—everyone in chat froze. I clicked through the menu and felt that small, familiar tug: you either miss it or you get it. I tested the path myself so you don’t waste time or cash.
At a live stream I noticed the wheels — How to Get 007 First Light Wheels in Fortnite for Free
I’ve bought a lot of promotional bundles; some are smoke and mirrors, others are tidy value. You can get the Obsidian Gold Wheels in Fortnite without buying V-Bucks, but there’s a simple catch: you must buy 007 First Light on the Epic Games Store with the same Epic account you use for Fortnite (and Rocket League if you want cross-title rewards).
The game’s standard edition is listed at $69.99 (€65) on the Epic Games Store. Once you complete that purchase on the correct account, the reward shows up in Fortnite’s vehicle customisation — no extra cost inside the game.
At my desk I followed the flow — Step-by-step: how I did it and how you should
You can follow these exact steps. I walked through them on Windows and the Epic Games Store web client; they worked the same either way.
- Open the Epic Games Store app or visit the Epic Games Store website and sign into the Epic account you use for Fortnite.
- Search for 007 First Light or find it on the store homepage while the promotion is active.
- Purchase the game (standard edition is $69.99 (€65)).
- Launch Fortnite with that same Epic account.
- Go to your Locker, then Vehicle Customisation, and check the Wheels section — the Obsidian Gold Wheels should appear.
If the wheels don’t appear immediately, quit Fortnite and relaunch, or check that the purchase is tied to the account shown in the Epic Games Store app. I treated it like finding a secret garage key and it paid off.
How to get 007 First Light Obsidian Gold Wheels in Fortnite?
Buy 007 First Light from the Epic Games Store on the same Epic account you use in Fortnite. The Obsidian Gold Wheels are delivered through Epic’s Loyalty Program integration and appear in Vehicle Customisation once your purchase registers.
Will the Obsidian Gold Wheels be in the Fortnite Item Shop?
Epic hasn’t confirmed an Item Shop release. If they do offer the wheels there, expect a market price near 400 V-Bucks (~€4). I plan for both possibilities: claim the wheels via the Epic Games Store purchase if you want them certainty, or wait and risk the Item Shop rotation.
How much does 007 First Light cost on the Epic Games Store?
The standard edition lists for $69.99 (€65) right now. IO Interactive and Epic are running the promotion linked to that SKU, so buy the edition that includes the promotional reward if you see multiple bundles.
At the moment I checked community threads — practical notes, limits, and what I’d warn you about
Make sure you use the exact Epic account tied to Fortnite and Rocket League. Cross-account purchases are the number-one reason people miss promo drops. Also, check regional storefront differences if the occasion spans different countries; the Epic Games Store and Epic Loyalty Program are the platforms handling the verification.
If you already pre-ordered elsewhere (like a console store), the Epic Games Store route is the one that grants the Fortnite wheel. Epic’s Loyalty Program and the IO Interactive partnership drive this offer, not Fortnite’s Item Shop alone.
The reward is cosmetic only — think of it as slipping gold rims onto a classic Aston Martin. It’s about prestige, not performance.
I bought it so I could test the flow and confirm the wheels landed in my locker; now it’s your turn — are you buying 007 First Light to grab the wheels or waiting for the Item Shop to spin them back in?
