Fortnite has over 100 levels of Battle Pass rewards for players to unlock, but gaining XP to level up can be difficult for some. Here are some of the best and easiest ways to grind XP this season.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 brings back a Marvel-themed Absolute Doom season to the game. Despite the XP gains for this season having been allegedly nerfed, there are still plenty of ways you can level up and surge through this season’s Battle Pass to earn rewards.
Here are the best ways to level up and get XP during this season and a few other alternatives.
Best method to level up fast in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4
If you want to level up quickly in Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 4, here’s a simple strategy that helped me jump over 30 levels in just a few hours.
- Start by completing the hidden Gwenpool missions, which give you a full level once you finish all three. This step can take you around 30 to 45 minutes.
- Next, hop into Battle Royale, take down the three bosses, and aim for mythic weapons. Depending on how well the games go, this can take about one hour or one hour and a half to gain 6-7 levels.
- Weekly and kickstart quests also give a lot of XP, as do milestones. Completing a full week of quests should take about an hour and a half.
- If you’re multitasking, use LEGO Fortnite in AFK mode – just move your mouse every 15 minutes to avoid getting kicked.
- Playing creative maps can also earn you a lot of XP. I’ve really been enjoying The Pit (4590-4493-7113) and Go Goated! Zone Wars (3305-1551-7747). If you’d prefer sticking to official modes, try Rocket Racing or Fortnite Reload. Playing for 30 minutes to an hour will help you make solid progress toward leveling up.
Altogether, this method helps you earn levels fast without grinding too hard. You can switch from one to the other to avoid getting burned out.
Alternative methods to level up in Fortnite
If this strategy isn’t enough for you, here is every other way in which you can get XP in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4:
1. Complete those Weekly Quests
Every Tuesday, the game adds new challenges that range from easy tasks like collecting ammo or dealing damage with a certain weapon to harder ones like finding hidden items around the Island.
Each quest grants a big chunk of XP when completed, so working your way through all of them every week is, without a doubt, the best way to max out your Battle Pass fast.
You can find details of all current and upcoming Chapter 5 Season 4 weekly challenges right here.
2. Use Party Assist to complete challenges faster
One of the most useful features of Fortnite is the Party Assist function. If you play with friends in Duos, Trios, or, best of all, Squads, any progress you make toward completing qualifying quests will be shared between all players on the team.
This is especially handy when tackling challenges with multiple tiers. For example, if a quest asks you to land 25 headshots in total, that could take you a quarter of the time it normally would if your entire squad is aiming for headshots.
3. Grind toward Fortnite Milestones
Players will be glad to know that Milestones are still around in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4. Most of these Milestones are menial tasks like driving a certain distance or destroying items, so they’re pretty simple.
As a result, you’ll probably tick them off without even realizing it during regular everyday play, but it does help to know what they are. Fortunately, you can view all of your Milestones in the Quests menu.

Some of these Milestones require you to use different weapons or items, so it’s worth switching it up every now and then (even if that does mean trading your powerful shotgun for a pistol).
4. Earn Survivor Medals in Battle Royale
Another effective way to gain XP in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 is by earning Survivor Medals, which can be found on the Quests screen in a tab called Survivor Medals at the bottom left. There are multiple tasks to be completed with multiple progression levels to keep you occupied.
They revolve around how long you survive in your Battle Royale games, with the first quest stating: “Reach 30 players remaining with an elimination.” After you complete each stage you will earn 20,000 XP, and they will get progressively harder.
5. Level up in Creative, Save The World, and other modes
Believe it or not, you can gain easy XP in Fortnite by spending time in Creative Mode or playing Save The World. This is ideal if you’re bored of the regular Battle Royale action or you’ve completed all of your Weekly Quests.
Even better, Chapter 5 also has three games within Fortnite – Rocket Racing, LEGO Fortnite, and Festival, each of which contributes to your Battle Pass XP as they have their own set of quests. Complete each quest across these modes to gain XP or a level-up token.
6. Purchase Battle Pass levels
No one wants to purchase Battle Pass levels in Fortnite – and you should be able to level up easily enough using the other methods on this list – but there’s no denying that this is the quickest way to level up in just a few seconds.
Each Battle Pass level costs 150 V-Bucks to level up, but, you can purchase several levels at once at a discounted rate. However, Epic states that you can only buy up to 100 battle pass levels every season.
7. Get a Fortnite Victory Royale!
While this may seem obvious, one of the easiest ways to earn XP in Fortnite is to do well in the traditional Battle Royale mode.
You’ll be awarded a small amount of XP for every elimination you dish out up until a certain number, with stacking bonuses on offer, and you’ll earn progressively more XP for every Storm cycle you survive.
You’ll also get a specific amount of XP, depending on which position you finish at. Naturally, you’ll get the most XP for coming first and scoring a coveted Victory Royale, so practice, practice, practice, and that all-precious XP will be yours.
