Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 XP system disappoints players

The new Battle Pass for Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 offers additional content for the game with a tier system (just like any other Battle Pass). In this new Battle Pass, Fortnite has added some iconic skins such as Darth Vader and Indiana Jones. But to reach the highest level or to max out the Battle pass this season, players have to earn XP by completing the given challenges either in the Battle Royale mode or Save the World.

Moreover, the overall amount of XP to max out the Battle Pass has also been changed. As per some of the tweets by prominent Fortnite leaker iFireMonkey, each level in Fortnite now requires 80,000 XP instead of the old 75,000 XP. And with this, the total amount of XP required to reach level 100 is now 7,920,000 XP.

However, this is only valid until level 100. After that, players will have to earn 400 extra XP to gain a level. For instance, to level up from 201 to 202, players will have to earn 80,400 XP and from 202 to 203, the number goes up to 80,800 XP.

As expected, fans are clearly not happy about this change. Taking to their Twitter as well as Reddit accounts, fans have expressed their frustration about the matter. According to a majority of viewers out there, Fortnite Chapter 3 needs to increase the XP amount available on the map as it is extremely low. There are players who have completed all of the week 1 challenges, but are still stuck at level 6.

The original Reddit post can be seen here. Viewers' discretion is advised.

Here are some of the most relevant responses from viewers in this regard.


To earn XP and level up as quickly as possible, players can complete weekly challenges and milestones. Other than this, players can also earn double XP during weekends, making it the best time to complete all the challenges.
