A simple yet efficient way to earn more XP in Fortnite Season 8 is by eliminating more opponents in every match. There is a direct relationship between these two.

Here are the XP amounts users will earn for solo kills:

• 2 Kills - 20 EXP
• 3 Kills - 40 EXP
• 4 Kills - 60 EXP
• 5 Kills - 80 EXP
• 6 Kills - 100 EXP

After eliminating their first opponent, players will get an extra 20 XP. Furthermore, they get additional XP in Duos, Trios, or Squads for knocking down or shaking down foes.

• Knockdown - 25 XP
• Shakedown - 100 XP

Probably the best way to earn XP is by winning matches. The game rewards gamers for not killing enemies but also for surviving.
