Accolades have been a staple in Fortnite Battle Royale since the beginning, offering an efficient means of leveling up rapidly. Here’s what Accolades are and how you can claim them all.
As a means of encouraging its player base to progress through the game, Fortnite provides several ways players can level up and progress through the Battle Pass to earn skin and cosmetic rewards more quickly. These include quests, playing new game modes and Creative maps, earning Survivor Medals, getting a Victory Royale, and Accolades.
Epic has greatly increased the amount of Accolades you can achieve in Chapter 5 Season 4, which has given players tons more ways to earn extra XP while playing Fortnite.
Here’s what they are in Fortnite and how you can acquire them to complete certain Fortnite quests associated with them.
What are Accolades and how to get them in a Fortnite match
Accolades are small achievements in Fortnite that are given out automatically for achieving certain goals in a Battle Royale match. You’ll see a notification like the one seen in the image above after you’ve got an accolade and you will then receive XP as your reward.
Above you can see the 500 XP reward for earning the Shotgun Master accolade for doing 1000 Shotgun damage to enemies during a match. In Fortnite, there are a plethora of Accolades up for grabs, all of which you can accomplish numerous times, but only once per Battle Royale match.
After the match concludes, head to the Match Stats section to view your medals and other Accolades you achieved during that match. However, you can also view your open collections and all the accolades from the lobby menu.
How to open Collections and view Accolades
To open Collections and view Accolades, you will need to head to the Quests tab from the main Fortnite lobby menu, select Collections, and then choose Accolades to view them.

You will need to do this to complete the “Open Collections and view Accolades” Jumpstart Quest in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4. As soon as you access the Accolades screen, you will instantly be granted 15,000 XP as your quest completion reward.
The Accolades screen showcases all the available Accolades in Fortnite, the 8 different Accolade types, how to complete them, and how many times you have completed them in Fortnite.

Team Rumble is the ideal mode for quickly gaining Accolades because of the large amount of XP you may get in a single match. In addition, the Accolade XP you receive changes depending on whether or not your progress bar is supercharged.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 has shaken up the meta once more with a whole heap of exciting new additions. These include new Mythic weapons, discoverable chests, and huge map changes.
