Leveling up quickly in Fortnite is an endless loop that most players must face everytime a new season drops.

Although leveling up in Fortnite is not that difficult, it can get way too grindy for most players in the game. People hate grinding a lot for XP, but then grinding is something that players need to do almost every time to level up faster in Fortnite.

There are usually seven challenges that release every week, and mostly include players having to do a range of tasks around the island. At the time of writing, Fortnite Week 2 quests are live, and players can hop into a game to do everything from destroying 'Mail boxes' to driving through fire hops while gaining a decent amount of XP in the process, ultimately helping players to level up.


#2 - Vendor Challenges

Fortnite has a horde of NPCs guarding the island from an unprecedented threat. While their motives are not yet known, one thing that's clear is that they could be a great way to farm tons of XP in-game.

Everytime players visit them, these NPCs/Vendors will have a set of fairly random and simple challenges that grant players a small reward (gold) along side some XP.

Whats even better is that these vendor challenges restock every few hours and keep rotating, so gamers can always come back for more and farm those experience points.


#3 - Secret Rare Quests

There are 47 different quests that can be completed throughout the season. What was known as 'Punch Cards' during the past few seasons in Fortnite will now be replaced with these quests.

The secret rare quests may not necessarily be the most demanding challenges but are certainly time consuming. The completion of all 47 challenges, however, will see players earn a grand total of 3,525,000 XP.


Apart from these three methods, playing modes like Rumble and surviving long enough in the matches can give an additional XP boost to players. Enemy kills and searching chests also grants a decent chunk of XP to players in Fortnite.
