Fortnite Season 5 Game Guide to Level Up and Gain XP Super Fast

With the launch of Fortnite Season 5, a lot of you guys are probably looking to level up so you can get the most out of the battle pass. In this Fortnite Season 5 game guide will be covering how you can level up as fast as possible in the new season. Unfortunately, this new season did see the removal of some of the most useful XP methods like punch cards, XP coins, and weekly challenges. So it may seem much harder to gain XP in Fortnite Season 5 but in fact, the replacement for these methods alongside the other tricks we'll be showing you here should help you out a ton.

Weekly Quests:

This is definitely one of the simpler methods for gaining XP. You can start doing the weekly quest as they come out to gain the initial XP. If you don't know yet, there is a new tab added in your maps section which shows all of your available challenges also known as quests. These update weekly and provide some really good XP. All you have to do in order to access this is head into a match and then into your map. From there you'll have three tabs on the top quests, map, and collections. Click on the quests then click on a little XP button below.

Elimination Based Quests:

Elimination Based Quests require you to get kills with a certain item or weapon or deal damage. Anything along those lines for these types of quests. Your best bet is going to be hopping into team rumble since you obviously respawn and can get better loot. This makes quests so much easier and that team rumble is really good for general XP as well.

Vendors/ NPCs

A brand new addition in Fortnite season 5 is vendors. Vendors are NPC characters scattered around the map and these guys can actually be the source of some really good XP. All you have to do with these vendors is to approach them and pick any quest. Some of them might have something simple like farm wood or get three kills with a shotgun while others may give you more difficult quests with greater rewards.

What we recommend doing for XP is play passively each time you see a vendor. Try to collect their challenge so you can get them done alongside challenges from other vendors as well. These challenges can stack up so you can pick up a fair amount of XP from doing them all at once. Vendors also tend to restock their challenges every few hours so you can always come back and pick up brand new ones. Overall, these vendors are a really cool change for casual play and can yield some amazing XP.

Forged Items

Another simple method to get some easy XP is by gathering forged items during your games. For the most part, forged items such as bananas, apples, and coconuts give you 25 XP each time you collect them. Collecting forged items in Fortnite Season 5 takes no time at all to do. Overall, collecting forged items is going to be a really simple tactic you can use either passively or you can go out of your way to collect them during your games and get some easy XP as a result.
