Hey what is going on guys, in this video today
we're gonna be going over the fastest ways
to gain XP and level up in chapter 2 season
3. Fortnite actually made a lot of pretty
significant changes to the XP system this
season, and that's a good thing because in
chapter 2 season 3 gaining XP was way too
difficult honestly. So I'm gonna start off
this video by doing a quick overview of what
exactly changed and how it affects you leveling
up, and then once that brief discussion is
done, I'm gonna share the 3-4 most popular
and effective ways to gain XP and level up
quickly while talking about the positives
and negatives of each method. So, without
further ado, let's get right into it.
Alright, so hands down the biggest change
to XP system this season is the replacement
of the medal punchcard with regular punchcards,
as well as the addition of quick challenges.
The new punch cards are plain and simple insane
for getting XP. There are 49 different punch
cards available that each come with 4-6 different
levels or punches, and each new punch unlocked
gives you 14k XP which is actually a ton.
There are basically 2 different types of punch
cards, the first and more common one requires
you to do the same task an increasing amount
of times. For example, look at this punch
card with AR eliminations, punch #3 requires
you to get 25 AR elims, and then once you
do that it increases to 100 to unlock punch
#4. The 2nd type of punch card makes so you
slightly different tasks for each punch. For
example, weapon whisperer requires you to
get an elimination with every type of weapon
in the game. So I've already unlocked punch
1-4 which is a pistol, AR, SMG, and shotgun
elimination, and then I'm guessing punch 5
and 6 would be a sniper and explosive elimination.
The other new way to gain XP are quick challenges.
These are random challenges that should be
fairly easy to complete, and once you complete
1 quick challenge it gets replaced by another
one. So there will pretty much always be 5
quick challenges you can complete at any gives
time. The first 5 quick challenges you complete
will give you 14k XP, but after that they
only give 1.4k each. So not as helpful as
the new punchcard, but with how simple these
challenges are you'll definitely complete
a ton of them without even really trying to.
So that covers the most important changes
to XP system this season, and obviously punch
cards and quick challenges are great ways
to get a lot of XP fast. But now let's get
a little more specific about the fastest in-game
strategies to level up as fast as possible.
Alright, so the first method is the team rumble
loot and leave method. This one is easily
the best for gaining XP, but it is also by
far the most boring. And this method was originally
popularized by the highest level player from
last season who I believe almost reached level
600 by just doing this method for 12+ hours
per day. So it basically works like this,
you load up a team rumble game, and find a
town that has a lot of chests and a lot of
ammo crates. Some examples of places that
work really well last season are misty meadows,
dirty docks, sweaty sands, and steamy stacks.
These locations are perfect not only because
they have a lot of chests and ammo crates,
but also because they're towards the outskirts
of the map so in team rumble it's unlikely
that any teammates or enemies will land there.
Then once you land, it's really as simple
as this: You wanna loot every single chest
and ammo crate in the town, and then as soon
as you've done that, leave the game and repeat
the process over and over again. Like I warned
you, definitely not the most fun thing in
the world by any means, but if you're willing
to do whatever it takes to get XP as fast
as possible, this method is pretty much unmatched.
The highest level player I mentioned earlier
used a route in steamy stacks where he was
able to loot roughly 23 chests and 24 ammo
boxes in about 5-8 minutes. Each chest gives
you 130 XP and each ammo crate gives you 95,
so if you do the math, he was getting about
5-6XP each run which is insanely good for
how little time it takes. Now obviously, this
method becomes more effective the more you
do it because you start to learn the exact
locations of each chest and ammo crate, as
well as the fastest routes to get to each
of them. And a really good resource for this
is lootlake.info which I'll link in the description
below, I'm not sure if it'll be fully updated
for the new season by the time I upload this
video, but once it is, it's a great tool to
find towns that are stacked when it comes
to the number of chests and ammo crates.
However, if you're like me that method probably
sounds absolutely miserable. The only time
I would ever do that is if I needed a certain
amount of levels right before the end of the
season. Luckily though, there's a way to take
advantage of this method that's a lot less
miserable. You start the game off the same
way by landing at ideally an outskirts area
and loot all the chests + ammo boxes, but
then instead of leaving and doing it over
and over again, you instead just play out
the game. Now, you obviously can do this in
regular solos, duos, or squads, but it's going
to be a lot more efficient if you do it in
team rumble. In general team rumble is a great
way to get XP no matter how you play it. After
you loot off the start team rumble quickly
turn into a game that's just constant gunfights
for about 5-10 minutes straight. Gunfights
are great for getting XP because you get rewarded
for getting kills, assists, headshots, double
kills, and there are just plenty of opportunities
to do that. Plus it's also hands down the
best mode for completing your punch cards.
Here's an example of what you can expect XP
wise from a fairly typical team rumble game.
I looted a good amount of chests and ammo
boxes off the rip, then just fought for the
rest of the game, I think I ended with something
like 20 kills and 10 assist which trust me
isn't impressive at all in team rumble, and
it resulted in about 11.5k combat and survival
XP combined. I didn't time the game exactly
but your typical team rumble game will run
about 20 minutes. So without any medal XP
you're looking at around 500-600 XP per minute.
Not quite as good as the loot and leave method,
with that one it's probably more like 800-1000
XP per minute, but this is a lot more bearable
because you're actually doing stuff, and it's
also a nice little way to work on your aim
and fighting skills.
The next method we're going to talk about
is hands down the most fun way to get solid
XP in my experience, operation knockout. Now
here's the thing, as of right now operation
knockout is not in the game, but there are
challenges in the game for season 3 that involve
winning and dealing damage in operation gamemodes,
so there's a very high chance they'll be back
soon. Operation knockout is basically a march
madness style duos knockout tournament. The
game starts with 16 teams, and each round
your duo will face off against another duo
in a 2v2 in a small enclosed random town on
the map. You'll get to choose between a random
assortment of weapons and you also get cool
little perks each round like in call of duty,
and at the end of the short round, whichever
team has more kills moves on to the next one.
So not only is this a lot more fun than playing
team rumble in my opinion, but it's also a
really great way to get XP. Each round is
only about 4-5 minutes long, and in that time
you can easily rack up 8-10 kills plus 3 or
4 assists if you play well. I've even had
games where I've played really well and dropped
like 50-60 kills total. So the max length
of a match if you make it all the way to the
championship round is right around 20 minutes
total, and here's an example of the amount
of XP you can get from a good game. I got
something like 40-45 kills total this game,
and when you combine the survival and combat
XP, I got about 14.5k total. For a 20 minute
game, that averages out to roughly 700 XP
per minute, which is actually higher than
playing out team rumble games. However, the
reason why team rumble is still better if
you're only considering XP gained is because
it's guaranteed. In this mode, you could easily
have a bad game and lose in the first or second
round with only a few kills. So then you'd
have to back out, find a new game, load back
in and that's a good amount of time wasted.
And then I just wanna briefly discuss the
most common leveling up method players use,
just playing normal solos, duos, and squads.
Before chapter 2, if you were really good
at the game and could consistently get a lot
of kills and wins, playing the game regularly
was actually a very solid way to level up.
I remember at one point I ran the numbers,
and like a 4 kill solo win would get you more
XP than any possible team rumble or LTM game
even if you got like 50 kills. But with the
new XP system that really isn't the case at
all. This is probably disappointing for a
lot of people, but if you just play regular
battle royale modes, it doesn't matter how
good you are, you're severely limiting the
speed at which you level up. A few days ago
I uploaded a gameplay of a 28 kill win in
a regular squads game, and here's the XP I
got for it. When you combine the combat and
survival XP it totals roughly 8.5k for what
was right around a 20-minute game. So even
with a win and 28 kills which I think most
people would agree is very impressive, I still
got less XP than what I would've in a regular
team rumble game.
