Usually, gamers earn XP in the Battle Royale mode by performing certain actions or by completing certain missions. Similarly, players can earn XP in Creative mode by interacting with the island.

When gamers interact with the island, a response is sent to the Accolades present on the map. The device then receives the signal and grants the requisite XP to the gamers' accounts.

For the XP system to work, gamers need to set up the Accolades device while designing the map. This can be done by following the steps mentioned below:

  • Click the Tab key on the Build mode to access the Creative inventory screen.
  • Click on the Devices option.
  • Scroll the entire list to get the required device. One can even use the Search button to complete the action.
  • Click on Place Now to immediately put it on the island. Gamers can also put it on the Quick Bar to place it later on.

If Loopers are using multiple Accolades devices, it is advisable to define them individually. Gamers can enter the name, write a short description, and even add the value of XP rewards.

Usually, the XP reward system in Fortnite Battle Royale stands for a definite amount of experience points that are granted to gamers. However, it is a bit different for the Creative mode setup. The XP system here is weighted, there is no definite amount of XP. Gamers are rewarded based on the various criteria and challenges that exist on the map.

There are five options for choosing the XP reward: Very Small, Small, Medium, Large, and Very Large. The amount of XP rewarded depends upon the number of Accolades present on the island. It also depends on how frequently an Accolade is rewarded on that island. The system considers all these factors and then dispatches the XP to the gamers' accounts.

After Accolades has been set up, it undergoes a calibration process before it is published. The calibration test puts the island into a series of playtests to determine the XP that can be earned from it.
