Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 is finally here and the Battle Pass for this season contains a wide range of exciting skins, including one from the Avatar collaboration. Earning XP in the game can be a task, so here’s how to level up quickly in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2: Myths and Mortals.

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 saw the arrival of a brand new Greek-themed map alongside a Battle Pass that was dedicated to gods and demigods from Greek mythology. There are a lot of new weapons that you can try out as well.

If you’re looking forward to acquiring all the new cosmetic rewards, you’ll have to advance through the Battle Pass tiers by leveling up. Here are some helpful tips for leveling up fast in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2.

Complete Fortnite Weekly & Match Quests

Fortnite offers players both Match and Weekly Challenges to accomplish, which provide a substantial amount of Bonus XP.

In previous seasons, players could clear Daily Quests for a chance to get additional XP, but Chapter 5 replaced them with Match Quests. Players can choose between three different options at the start of each match and need to clear the selected objective before they are eliminated. Each Match Quest rewards players with 5,000 XP, and the first three you complete will reward you an additional 15,000 XP each.

This implies that you can accumulate around 60,000 XP daily by clearing three Match Quests a day.

The Weekly Quests entail other objectives that can usually be cleared in the span of several matches. Every week, you will receive six quests, and completing each of them will grant you 10,000 XP each.

Complete Survivor Quests in Fortnite

Survivor Quests allow players to earn XP for completing certain challenges in-game. Aside from earning a ton of XP for each Survivor Quest you complete, completing all of them in each rarity will grant you Survivor Medals and a free Prized Llama Back Bling.

You’ll earn 10,000 XP for each Survivor Quest. There are seven different levels of Survivor quests in the game, and each level has 10 quests associated with them.

If you manage to complete all seven levels, you’ll receive a whopping 700,000 XP in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2.

Play Fortnite Creative, LEGO Fortnite & more

Fortnite’s Creative Mode grants you XP for time spent in Playlists.

Engaging with Fortnite’s Creative Mode is consistently an effective strategy for swiftly gaining XP. Every 15 minutes, players are rewarded with a substantial 12,000 XP, regardless of their activity during that time.

This XP bonus can be claimed up to five times. While it is possible to earn XP by simply remaining idle, it’s advisable to keep an eye out for the XP marker adjacent to a Creative experience. This indicates that you will accumulate XP as you actively participate in the gameplay.

On the other hand, playing brand-new experiences developed by Epic Games like LEGO Fortnite, Fortnite Festival, and Rocket Racing, will also grant you tons of XP. What’s more, each of these games also have their own Quests to complete, so keep an eye on the Quests tab every time you play a different game mode.

Apart from that, you can also venture into the Save The World PvE expansion for some additional XP. You have various challenges that you can complete and the XP that you earn from it will be added to your seasonal Battle Pass.

Unfortunately, the Save the World expansion isn’t free-to-play, so you will have to purchase it if you want to unlock and play it.

Score Victory Royales in Fortnite

Winning Fortnite matches is a great way to level up fast.

One of the best ways to level up fast in Fortnite is simply winning matches. This won’t be easy for everyone, but consistently playing well will allow you to fly through the levels. 

You’ll earn XP for eliminating players and surviving each Storm Circle, and then if you can pull off a Victory Royale, you’ll get a bonus of 300 XP. What’s more, the next match you play you’ll have a Victory Crown that’ll boost all your XP earnings, so keep that in mind.
