If you know how to level up fast in Fortnite then you'll start unlocking those Battle Pass pages a lot quicker, which in turn gives you access to more rewards to spend your hard-earned Battle Stars on. To be clear, there aren't any specific cheats or glitches you can utilize in Fortnite to rocket yourself up through the ranks, but there are several methods that provide 100% legitimate ways to max out the XP you're earning in the game. If you're set to access all of the rewards the Battle Pass has to offer, then here's everything you need to know about how to level up fast in Fortnite.
Level up fast in Fortnite using Creative mode to farm free XP
Amazingly, you get free XP just for spending time in Creative mode, and this is one of the best methods for how to level up fast in Fortnite as you don't actually have to do anything to earn it. For every 15 minutes you spend in that mode you'll receive a Creative Playtime reward, which is currently 12,000 XP, and you can collect up to five of these bonuses every day – resetting at the same time as the Daily Quests. All you need to do is enter Creative mode, stand in the lobby and watch as the timer ticks down from 3:55 to 3:40, 3:25, 3:10, 2:55, and 2:40, after which you should have received enough XP to level up at least once, then come back the next day and do it again.
Play Creative experiences with XP Accolades enabled
Following recent updates, Creative mode adds another method to help you level up fast in Fortnite, as some of the experiences now have the Accolade Device enabled. You can identify these as they have the XP logo against them, which we've highlighted in the above image, and this means when you achieve certain feats within that map, game, or experience you'll earn XP. However, it's not always clear what you need to do in some levels to earn those Accolades, and some offer much greater rewards than others, so search around to find one that works well for you.
Tick off those Quests and earn cumulative rewards
The way Fortnite quests work has changed once again, and Fortnite characters no longer have challenges to hand out. Instead there are Daily, Season, and Milestones Quests to work through, and in addition to the XP you earn for completing each individual task, there are also cumulative awards for ticking off a series of assignments which you shouldn't overlook. Certain other mission threads will also unlock during progress through the season, offering even more XP.
The timer against the Daily Quests shows when they're due to reset, so make sure you're regularly checking in and working through the tasks to make the most of these opportunities before they're gone.
When you team up with other players in modes such as Duos, Trios, or Squads, all of your active Daily Quests will be pooled together in your party. Not only does this mean you can have significantly more quests available than usual, but the progress any of you make will be applied to all of you. By working as a team you can clear a lot more quests and earn additional XP together, making it another great approach for how to level up fast in Fortnite.
Play Save The World
Not everyone has access to the Save the World campaign, but if you do then this is another great way to level up fast in Fortnite. By earning mission badges for things such as exploring, building, and combat, as well as completing bonus mission objectives, you'll earn XP that counts towards your Battle Pass progress.
