The competitive nature of the game may lead to some frustration, and the constant action could make it difficult for some players to disengage. There's also a mild risk of exposure to strangers in multiplayer lobbies.

Bottom line first
Fortnite Battle Royale has unfiltered voice chat with strangers enabled by default. Go to Epic Games account settings → Parental Controls and disable voice chat, or set it to friends-only, before your child plays any online mode.
Fortnite is five different games in one launcher. Battle Royale, LEGO Fortnite, Festival, Rocket Racing, and Creative each have different age-appropriateness and risk profiles. Your child may start in LEGO Fortnite and drift into Battle Royale — check which modes they're actually playing.
V-Bucks are the shared currency across all modes. The Battle Pass, cosmetic bundles, and in-map purchases all use V-Bucks. Many Creative maps surface V-Buck spending prompts. Set spending limits in Epic Games account settings or use a prepaid card with a fixed balance.
Creative map content can change after our rating. Each map is rated by our AI at a point in time — creators can update maps. We recommend periodically checking which maps your child plays and watching a few minutes of gameplay with them.
Action: Epic Games account → Parental Controls → set a PIN, disable voice chat, and cap monthly V-Buck spending. Takes under 5 minutes and significantly reduces risk across all Fortnite modes.
