Most of you might already know the basics for leveling up in Fortnite. Almost anything you do, from opening chests, looting ammo crates, eliminating players, and especially completing challenges, will result in a small amount of XP being added to your level.

Depending on how you want to play Fornite, and how quickly you want to level up, the methods you’ll want to use will change.

Another key factor is that getting better at the game will cause you to level quicker too, as many of the things which award XP are related to playing the game well.

How to level up quickly in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 4

This latest season of Fortnite introduces multiple smaller character stories to the games, small challenges which require that you play with a specific skin and interact with some area of the map somehow. These challenges in particular are highly recommended for leveling because they don’t simply involve grinding out experience points.

Rather than simply collecting XP coins, you can participate in the ongoing Nexus War story that has taken over Fortnite. Learn a little bit about She-Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, and so on while participating in a game-wide global event.

Complete Fortnite Challenges, fill your Fortnite Punch Cards

After playing Fortnite normally (or semi-normally) there are more dedicated ways to level quickly. Each week the game will offer challenges that allow you to earn XP, and these usually dictate the week-by-week pace of the game. Depending on a week’s challenges, you can usually estimate which areas of the Fortnite map will attract a higher population of players, information which you can use to decide where and how you would like to play.

After challenges, however, are the Fortnite Punch Cards. Fortnite Punch Cards start out hidden and get discovered through normal play, and as such tend to be things most players would find on their own. However, thanks to the magic of the internet, these Fortnite Punch Cards get identified quickly and are already known to anyone who wants to find them.

Here are the Fortnite Punch Card challenges:

Focus on finding XP coins throughout the game

The last method to point out is to recommend prioritizing finding the various XP coins floating around the game. These coins are available throughout Fortnite and can be grabbed by anyone around, though they usually get ignored. Picking these up, unlike opening chests or ammo crates, doesn’t advance your game or improve your position at all, so most players don’t bother.

However, if your goal is to unlock those sweet Fortnite Battlepass rewards, then taking a game or two to grab these XP coins can help you get to level 100 before anyone else.

Just make sure not to get too distracted from the rest of the game.
