As well as being a great mode, LEGO Fortnite has brought players the gift of a new XP glitch to help you level up in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1. Luckily, it’s super easy to do, but will require you to have a friend on standby to help you out.

Be sure to check out some of our other LEGO Fortnite guides, like how to find caves and how to increase health. And if you haven’t completed the challenge yet, make sure you know how to invite an NPC to live in your village too. With that, let’s take a look at the Fortnite LEGO XP glitch and how you can get quick levels in Chapter 5 Season 1.

How to do the LEGO Fortnite infinite XP glitch

As we said before, you’re going to need a friend, or an alternate account that has their own world set up, as this glitch cannot be done in your own world. Once their world is set up, join their world.

The next step is to collect 3x Wood and 5x Granite. Using these materials, you’ll next want to build yourself a Crafting Bench. It doesn’t matter where you build it, so simply build the bench anywhere, as this will complete the ‘Build a crafting bench in Survival World’ quest.

With your Crafting Bench built, now all you need to do is leave the server and return to the main lobby screen. For some reason, performing these actions will net you a Level Up Token, and granting you a whopping 80,000 XP.

After you’ve done all this, return to your friend’s world. Once you’ve fully loaded into your friend’s world, wait for a few seconds, and then leave to the lobby again to receive another Level Up Token. 

There are three other quests that can be completed for this glitch to work. These quests are:

  • Create and play in a Sandbox World
  • Find and enter a cave in a Survival World
  • Get a village rating of 4 in a Survival World

Completing any one of these quests will have the same effect, but making a Crafting Bench is probably the simplest, so we would recommend doing that instead. Be aware that if you have already completed all four of these quests, you will not be able to perform this glitch unfortunately.

You can repeat this to gain as many account levels as you want, and since XP in LEGO Fortnite contributes towards the Battle Pass, it might be a good idea. If you’re planning on doing it, you’ll want to do it sooner rather than later, as it will certainly be patched by Epic Games soon.

If you’ve done everything right, those fast levels should be all yours. For more LEGO Fortnite tips, be sure you know how to craft weapons and become stronger in LEGO Fortnite. And if you’re wondering how to upgrade your village in Survival World, we’ve got a guide for that too. And if you’re after some of the Fortnite Free Skins we have a guide to help you out.
