Earning XP in Fortnite has never been easier. Over the past few seasons, the grind was nearly completely removed from the game. Not only has Epic Games increased XP gains, but the leveling process is much better now. While leveling up, you process through every single pass in the game, which allows you to unlock even more cosmetic items.

On Tuesday night, the Fortnite developer announced another XP buff. This time, the buff is massive, as the in-game experience was increased by four times.

How much XP can you gain in Fortnite Chapter 6

The first change that Epic made was to increase the Daily Bonus Quest goal from 20,000 to 25,000 XP. While this buff may not be that significant, it certainly adds up considering that you can complete three of these goals every day. On top of this, LEGO Fortnite XP has been fixed and now rewards 25,000 XP instead of just 700.

The biggest change, however, is a massive buff to playtime XP. Before the update, it was possible to get approximately 1.1 million playtime XP per week from Fortnite Reload, Save the World, LEGO Fortnite, and Creative. In other words, you could gain up to 14 levels per week from playtime. With the latest update, this cap was lifted to 4 million, which comes down to 50 levels.

Thanks to the big leveling buff, you can now gain 50 levels every week from playtime. When you add other sources of XP, such as challenges and in-game actions, you can easily complete the Chapter 6 Battle Pass in just two to three weeks.
