Hey what is going on guys, in this video today
we're gonna be going over the fastest ways
to level up in fortnite season 4. This is
a video like that I liked to do at the beginning
of every new season for 2 reaons basically.
First off, Fortnite always makes at least
slight tweaks to the XP system and the ways
to gain XP each new season, so it's good to
layout what's changed and how to take advantage
of it. Second, although I repeat a lot of
things between these videos because certain
XP gaining methods are always going to be
good or bad, people can always use a quick
refresher. Even though I'm the one literally
making these videos, in the past I've literally
had to reference back to them towards the
end of the season when I'm trying to cram
in some levels. So a decent amount of stuff
has changed in season 4, and without further
ado, let's get right into it.
Alright so when we talk about leveling up
fast in Fortnite it's always a good idea to
get some context about how much XP you need
to reach certain milestones. To reach level
100 in season 4, it's going to take you a
total of just over 7.5 million total XP. The
level up progression system isn't linear to
where each level takes the same amount, early
on you only need like 40k XP to level up,
but then to go from 99 to 100 for example,
it's going to take you a little over 100k
XP. So it's just good to have a general understanding
of how much XP you really need to reach whatever
level goal you have.
So when it comes to leveling up as fast as
possible, it doesn't matter what season it
is, the most important thing is to do all
the challenges and tasks that reward XP. Like
I mentioned earlier there will be small tweaks
to this every so often, but in season 4 the
3 main challenge options are weekly challenges,
quick challenges, and punch cards. Weekly
challenges are probably the most straightforward
way to gain XP. All you have to do is click
on the map in the battle pass section and
you'll see all the available challenges for
the week. Just using week 1 as an example
even though it'll probably be the same each
week, there are 7 total challenges, 6 of them
give 25k XP and one of them give 50k XP, which
as long as my math isn't terrible adds up
to 200,000 total. These weekly challenges
are honestly pretty easy as a whole. Yeah
you may have to go a bit out of your way to
complete the ones that are located in weird
parts of the map, but you'll probably complete
1-2 per week without even trying, and then
for the rest if you're dilligent you can probably
knock them all out in maybe 2 games or so.
So even though 200k may not sound like an
absolute ton of XP when you need 7 mill in
total, if this season is 10-12 weeks which
it seems like it's going to be, that's over
2 million XP which is a lot more inspiring.
Along with weekly challenges there are also
quick challenges which are basically the equivalent
to the old daily challenges. Every 24 hours
you're given a set of 5 supercharged quick
challenges that reward either 10k XP or 14k
XP. These are even simpiler and easier than
the weekly challenges by a pretty wide margin.
You honestly should easily be able to knock
out all 5 of them in one game. So even if
all 5 of your daily ones are 10k challenges,
that's still 50k a day or 350k a week, so
almost double what you get from weekly challenges.
Plus, each time you complete one of the supercharged
quick challenges that you get each 24 hours,
it gets replaced with a regular one that rewards
1k XP. I would not go out of your way to complete
these ones because 1k XP is pretty minimal
as a whole, but again these are so easy that
you'll do a lot of them without even trying,
so that's a little extra XP for you as well.
And then the final types of challenges that
you need to do to level up as fast as possible
are the punch cards. As of right now in season
4 there are 55 different punch cards available,
but there are also apparently some hidden
ones that you can unlock as well. These punch
cards aren't new they were added to the game
last season so by now a lot of you guys should
understand them. Each punch card come with
4-6 different levels or punches, and each
new punch unlocked gives you 14k XP which
is actually a ton. For example, a full 6 level
punch card will give you 84,000 XP. There
are pretty much 2 different types of punch
cards, the first one requires you to do the
same task an increasing amount of times. For
example, get 25 eliminations, then 100, then
500 so and so forth. And then the other one
is to do a similar but related task difernet
times. For example, get a win in solos, duos,
squads, team rumble, etc etc. Now the really
good thing about punch cards is, since there's
so many of them, it's pretty much impossible
to not complete a solid chunk of them just
by playing the game normally. My guess is
that if you play the game at least a few hours
a week, you'll have about half the cards completed
by the end of the season. But if you are trying
to level up as fast as humanely possible,
it may be worth it to go a bit out of your
way to complete specific cards that you don't
feel you'd complete by playing normally. So
those three different sets of challenges are
hands down the most crucial aspect of leveling
up fast in season 4.
The next thing I wanna address in this video
is the best game modes for leveling up, but
I'm gonna be honest in season 4, I think playing
the game regularly is barely going to help
you level up. In the past, for leveling up
via playing, the game mode order kinda went
like this for best to worst: Specific good
XP LTMs like operation knockout, then team
rumble, then solos, duos, or squads. But in
season 3, we really didn't get any LTMs that
were really good for leveling up. That's not
to say there definitely won't be any in season
4, but I wouldn't hold you breath. And even
though I think team rumble is definitely your
best bet because it's great for completing
challenges, you really don't get much XP from
playing the mode itself. I don't know if it
was nerfed at some point, but here's a screenshot
from a 21 kill team rumble game I got earlier
today. The game lasted about 20 minnutes total
and I got just over 6k XP. Definitely not
horrible or anything, but playing a full 20
minute game to get half the XP of one supercharged
daily challenge definitely doesn't feel super
rewarding. And if you think that's bad, regular
solos, duos, and squads is considerably worse
unless you win or get a ton of kills in like
half the games you play which is just unrealistic.
So the takeaway here is basically XP from
completing challenges dominates XP from playing
the game this season and it isn't even close.
The final important aspect of leveling up
that I wanna talk about in this video is XP
coins. This is something that I didn't mention
in the last level up video I made, but collecting
XP coins is super important if you truly wanna
level up fast as possible. Assuming Fortnite
does the same thing with XP coins that they've
been doing for the last few seasons it basically
works like this: They'll scatter a set amount
of them throughout the map at the beginning
of the season, and then each week or so, they'll
continue to add more and more until the end
of season 4. So there's 4 different types
of XP coins: Green, blue, purple, and gold.
Green XP coins give you about 3k XP each,
blue coins give about 6.5k, purple ones are
a shade over 10k, and then gold ones are 15k
on the dot. So as you can see, especially
the higher rarity coins don't just give a
non-important amount of XP, 10-15k for just
one coin is a solid amount. But the main issue
that people have regarding this is basically
"Well how do I find and stay up to date with
all the coins that are already in and all
the ones that get added each week." You can
look up Youtube videos because that's a pretty
solid option, but my suggestion would be to
use an app by a creator in the community named
the squattingdog. And that's literally just
the name of the app, one word, s-q-u-a-t-i-n-g-d-o-g.
He isn't paying me to say this and I have
no stake in the app at all but based on my
experience, this is the best way to track
the coins you've already collected and find
all the ones that you haven't. I'll show a
quick screenshot of what the final coin map
looked like in the app for season 3, and even
though that looks kinda hectic because there
were 100 total coins this season, it's a lot
less overwhelming when you approach it week
by week. The app allows you to zoom in on
the map and even see pictures of exactly where
the coin in located, and once you find a coin
you can hide it from the map so you know which
ones you've already gotten and which ones
you need to get. Now just be aware that it
obviously takes him at least a few hours or
even days to lean the locations of the new
coins, so if you download this app as soon
as you watch this video it may not be fully
updated yet, or honestly maybe it is because
I know he's always really fast with it. So
as long as you aren't going super hard on
leveling up, I think your best bet is probably
to only go after the purple and gold coins,
but that part is mostly up to you.
