Epic Fixed Fortnite s Battle Pass Issue… At Least For Now

Fortnite Chapter 2 is well underway, and with it has come a whole host of changes to what feels like the world's most popular game. via Dexerto Fortnite has tweaked Chapter 2's first Battle Pass, meaning reaching level 100 is now a lot easier than it was when Season 1 started a couple of weeks ago. Chapter 2 is well underway, and with it has come a whole host of changes to what feels like the world's most popular game. A new map, new ways in which players interact with water, and a new Battle Pass and leveling up system. That last one, in typical Fortnite fashion, has riled up hardened players to no end. Epic Games quite literally claimed the new Battle Pass system would be "more fun, less grind" for players. As usual, a change that benefits Fortnite's newest players. In theory, this change should be good for everyone, but it's not. While players can harvest XP in easier to come by ways such as merely opening chests, the old ways in which players would level up have seemingly had their XP slashed. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY One player did the math using the new XP amounts available for completing challenges and filling the new punchcard. They estimated players will need to play (at least) 1088 matches during Season 1 to reach level 100. That's an average of 15/16 matches per day for every single day of the season. For most Fortnite players, that just isn't feasible. Thankfully, according to , Epic seems to have tweaked XP amounts so that reaching level 100 truly is less of a grind. Players can now rack up 96,000 XP per day from the new punchcards. There was previously just 24,000 XP available. Weekly challenges have also been significantly bumped up from 140,000 XP per challenge to a much more appealing 520,000 XP per challenge. That won't change the XP available for uncompleted challenges already released, though. On top of the slashed XP amounts, players aren't happy with the new challenge system as it is. Rather than pick off the easiest challenges each week to bump up battle pass tiers, players now have to complete challenges in the order Epic wants them to. This is yet another reason Chapter 2 feels like more of a grind than anything that has come before. The more fun part rings true, but the less grind part remains to be seen.
