Only 20 days remain.
With just a few weeks left in Season 4 of Fortnite, some players are concerned they won’t reach level 80 to unlock the final reward in time.
Reaching level 80 will unlock the final piece of the Omega skin armor. Players need to amass 532,250 XP, an incredible amount considering a well played match gets you around 400 XP without any XP boosts. At the start of Season 4 last month, players calculated a 7,604 XP requirement per day to reach level 80 by the end of the season on July 10.
Fortnite features a battle pass that gives players a reward at each of its 100 tiers. Reaching the final tier unlocks the Omega skin, a unique outfit that allows you to add additional parts to the costume through the Omega challenges. A separate level system counts all the XP you’ve collected over the entire season and is used to unlock these parts, with the final piece unlocking at level 80. Tiers and levels reset with each season.
XP boosts earned from the battle pass help speed up the process and playing with friends allows you to stack XP sharing boosts. The more teammates, the better.
Reddit user DestinyPotato created an XP calculator that lets you input your current stats and calculate how much XP you need per day.
Season 5 of Fortnite is just a few weeks away but that hasn’t stopped Epic from teasing what’s to come in Fortnite. Meanwhile, while Fortnite players on Switch can’t log in with PS4-connected accounts, a former Sony boss says why he thinks the PlayStation 4 cross-play block exists.
