Fortnite Chapter 2 has arrived, bringing many changes to the game. The way you earn XP and level up has changed a lot, which affects your pass for battle and how often you will receive these rewards. The good news is that it's easier than ever to level up, which means even hopeless players like me will be able to level up and get a lot of free loot.
How to earn XP and level up in Fortnite Chapter 2
Fortnite has become very generous in the way it rewards the things you go to in the game. You can now gain experience by performing simple actions like opening a chest, ammo crates, or just staying alive long enough. You can also earn medals, which come with considerable experience.
How to earn medals
Every day you will get a new Punchcard with medals that can hold 10 medals. As you earn medals, they will fill a box in the Punchcard. Medals are extremely easy to obtain. Each is worth 2000 XP, except for the fifth and 10th medals, which are worth 4000 XP.
You will get medals for your first match of the day, opening chests, killing in a game, surviving up to the last 50 players and other simple in-game actions. The Punchcard will be refreshed every day at 6 hours PST, giving you a new chance every day to earn that whole bonus experience.
You also gain experience for each action you can perform. When you first start playing Chapter 2, there are certain activities that reward large amounts of experience, such as finding a named place, showing question marks on the map, and finding landmarks. Each will give you 2000XP.
After that, simple actions like searching an ammo box will earn you 65XP, eliminate an opponent that earns you 85XP, etc. As soon as I have an accurate list of all the actions that reward experience, I will update this guide with it.
Gaining experience in Fortnite Chapter 2 is as easy as staying alive and playing the game. Make sure you grab every chest, every box of ammo, and every medal you can, and you'll quickly start racking up experience and be amazed at how quickly you progress through the Battle Pass ranks.
