Fortnite gets major XP changes after Season 8 complaints
Fortnite players will now see major XP changes in the battle royale after Epic Games revaluated the amount of experience Shared (NPC) Quests reward, answering many Season 8 complaints in the process.
Chapter 2 Season 8 has been a bit tedious for players since theFortnitedevs introducedPunchcards, among other changes. Experience Points (XP) were set up in a way that would dish out a consistent amount throughout the season.
For some Fortnite players, this meant the XP-well would run dry sooner than expected. While consistent players could grind to reach lvl 200, other people were left withfew options to keep up.
Epic took that feedback and implementedXP buffs in patch 18.10, but are now giving Fortnite players another lifeline to hold onto.

Fortnite’s new XP update will change the values for Shared Quests from Common (2,500 XP) increasing to Legendary (3,750 XP). The complete list of Fortnite XP update changes can be found below.
In late September,Epicsaid that “XP gained in Battle Royale this season isn’t where we’d like it to be” and would be making a few changes to address player complaints.

“Pretty solid changes,” user ‘Pat_Scamander’ said. “At their peak, quick challenges used to give 2.2k XP x 3 challenges per game.
“Now you can pick up as many challenges as you like AND the lowest stage offers 300XP more than peak XP quick challenges. Good changes at last.”
