Despite being out for only five days, Fortnite Chapter 6 – Season 1 has already gone through massive XP changes. Epic Games has adjusted leveling twice in the first week, with the latest adjustment coming out on Thursday night. Once again, the XP was buffed, and this time, leveling was made up to 10 times faster than before.

This is certainly a positive change that will make unlocking content much more fun. With the Fortnite OG Pass coming on Friday, it will also be affected. Let’s dive into details and see just how much the latest buff will affect you!

The latest Fortnite update brought big changes to XP

On Thursday night, Epic Games released a small hotfix to update XP in the popular battle royale game. This buff came just two days after the first XP adjustment. While the first one affects various game modes, from Creative to Reload, the second XP buff is exclusive to Fortnite Battle Royale, as it increases the gains from performing certain actions.
